Hello all I'm new here and I just got my first old washer and dryer. I was hoping I could find out what all they are so I might be able to get them back up and running. Any help would be awesome thanks!! | ||

 Nice find! They look to be in good condition. Dryer model/serial tag (pic 1) indicates 1969 model-year (T in model number), factory production in the 35th(?) week (pic not clear) of 1968. Timed drying. The "regular" cycle with Light, Med, Heavy, and Ex Heavy choices is timed, not moisture-sensing ... labeled that way for the convenience of selection via load/fabric weight instead of deciding how many minutes to run. That cycle has a 5-min cool down before turning off. Perm Press has 10 minutes of cooling. The Tumble Press setting runs a few mins of heat to tumble-"iron" items wrinkled from wear or packing. High temp is probably 155°F, med temp 145°F or maybe 135°F. The mechanical design of the dryer is still produced today. The washer's model/serial tag probably is on back of it. An old-style, belt-drive model, they were in production from the 1950s to 1986. It's a nicely-featured model toward the upper end of the lower-range models. Two speeds, perm press cycle, full choice of 5 temp combos, but only two water levels. Perm Press has a cool-down process after the wash (that's why the Rinse section is longer) ... partially drains, refills (use a Cold-rinse temp selection), agitates two mins, repeats those steps a 2nd time, then proceeds into the first spin, agitated rinse, and final spin. | ||

My mother had this washer bought in the Summer of 1969. Great overall washer - I have this dryer now. Bob | ||
