I’m going to bet that this is a 69 or 70 model, here are pictures of a 1968 model that I just brought into our shop that’s going to go to one of our new members

Through some miracle i bagged this tonight. It was sittng in plain sight in the short driveway of a house in a suburb of San Diego (as you see below) for weeks, along with a newer less interesting dryer. The newer one was snagged this evening before i came along. Back story: I contacted someone after seeing an ad on Facebook for two dryers. She stopped getting back to me when i said, “i only wanted the old looking one.” She replied, “must take both,” and promply fell off the planet. Then apparently someone else in the household more reasonable posted it, and somehow after 5 days i found the ad, because i rarely look for dryers. I then made a beeline up here after he finally txted me the address. It was a longish drive so i arranged another item. Writing this whilst sitting at a Starbucks waiting for the owner of a Simplicty vacuum to get home and sell it to me. Then i roll home. Night time appliance fun. -Edit- **Landed home safe and sound** This post was last edited 03/27/2018 at 00:29 |

Okay another wierdish thing about all this. That lady who sold me the vacuum? Why it was just a few years ago I came out to this same part of San Diego one night looking to buy an old Hoover Concept I vacuum. Turned out the machine was too beaten up for me to bother with at her price, offered half, she declined... Yup you guessed it, SAME LADY. That Hoover still sits in her garage of wonderous junk. The standard Simplicity vacuum design is one of my favorites. So despite the taped up cord (not visible in the pic she sent me) I paid her price. .

Seems all there, ‘cept the rubber cushions on feet and one of the brackets that holds on the front service panel. Love the chrome detailing. Last pic, “Kenmore gererations”. |

This is a very heavily built great performing dryer with real dual element Soft-Heat, this is definitely worth rebuilding for someone that must have an electric dryer. This dryer will dry circles around any other dryer built up to this time period and almost all dryers since.
This dryer is older than the one I posted pictures of above, the one I have is 1968, but feature wise it is the same.

I well remember that this dryer was billed as the all american dryer in the Sears catalog back in the day. It was a dryer that would blend in with whatever washer someone might have already. |
