He scrapped the dryer last week. Said he couldn’t figure out how to start it. And assumed it was junk. He almost scrapped this one too.
I have some days off In June to work on it. I would love to hang out again for a washer day.

Congrats!!! That’s too bad about the dryer. This particular model was introduced in 1989 and this one was built in 1990. As far as restoration goes on this machine I would just give it a good cleaning and put it to use. It still has the original drive coupling and I would take a look at that to see what condition it is in. If it looks good leave it as I believe this was the best coupling design. If it’s rough go ahead and replace it but be absolutely sure to get the pieces ALL the way on the transmission shaft and ALL the way on the motor shaft to keep from chewing either one up. Congrats again on a great washer and enjoy!

Fixing Yellowed Plastics
There is a technique known as “retrobrighting” in order to restore plastics back to their original color. I learned about it from a youtube channel known as The 8 Bit Guy. it works on yellowed computer plastics so it might also work on yellowed washing machine plastics. Consider watching a couple of his videos to see how he does it and it might work for your yellowed plastics too

Dryer
Yes he said the dryer was in amazing shape but he couldn’t figure out how to turn it on so he figured it was dead. So he put it out to trash. So sad. So now the hunt is on for the matching dryer.
