 One 1965 turquoise Custom Imperial Electric, And
One Never used 1970 Harvest Gold Custom Deluxe Gas model { thanks to Will, Classic Caprice for rescuing this dryer from Newport News Va ]
Both dryers worked perfectly, the 65 saw light use, the 70 was never used but stored its whole life in a damp garage so its chrome was lightly pitted and there was light rust inside and out.
The Electronic Dry controlled 65 is now gas and the 70 was the donor with lots of parts saved for other vintage Frigidaire dryers.

Was photo 14 taken after the first ignition blew the top loose? Just kidding and remembering the Pink 1960 Custom Imperial set where the gas valve stuck open and the heat turned the porcelain top black but as it cooled, it returned to pink. | ||

John, that turquoise dryer is your DCIAK dryer that is paired with a washer?
Nice that you were able to convert it to gas! That's something I haven't found yet! Not that I mind using an electric as I have no gas line going to my laundry room and I still wish I could get more 30 amp circuits there (still have just one!). | ||

I was curious about the pilot light assembly location for Frigidaire gas dryers and wondered about how it looked “by lifting entire top assembly”, according to this Consumer Reports test/review I stumbled upon once again; luckily I was able to find it/this here:
