Found this locally near me. I can grab it for $40 in working condition. Are these decent? Not too familiar with really old Kenmore stuff. Just want to make sure it’s worth my time and any other info is always appreciated.

It’s a Kenmore 70 which was usually a nicely featured model in the middle of the Sears line. It would have the older bulkhead design which is not a problem but the ‘65 and newer were much easier to service. The one shown has a rear drum bearing and blower bearing that required periodic maintenance. All that said if it was that close to me for that price it would already be in my stable.

Since I have one of those older Whirlpool built 29” top filter dryers made before 1966 that I use on a almost daily basis, all I can say is they are good dryers and dry fairly quick but are a little different to service since they use a bearing instead of rollers and the fan is different as well since it uses a separate belt and has its own bearing as well. One nice thing is it has the UV/ozone build in it which is really good at disinfecting clothes from bacteria and viruses.
