Found this 80s Simpson dryer in pretty good condition.

the switch in the motor doesn’t always work properly, it is getting better though!

I cleaned the machine out and found a few issues (fixed now with a parts dryer)

Did I mention it was free? Well it was!

Put another connector from the other dryer (the connector from the other dryer is better)

This is like a Maytag porta-dryer...the drum and lint filter.

I’m 99% sure that the Maytag dryers were based off of these dryers, unless the Maytag dryers were made before these.

The Maytag Porta-Dryer was introduced in 1967.

You can see the inside of the porta dryer in this video.

I think they were made in the 1970's.

I’ll have a check to see when mine was made, it’s a bit newer than my parts dryer

Can’t find anything online to tell how old it would be…
