Hey Chris,

Unfortunately it is a hard to find item. You can probably make something that will work.

I'm not sure this will work, and it may be that the 1955 model design was different, but my mom's best friend had a D5 or D6 model dryer that was paired with her 1955 Unimatic. She put old panty hose on the exhaust vent on th4e side of her house to catch the lint. I saw this after they moved to Dallas from Houston in like 1965 or 1966. Blew my mind. Now mind you, I never saw a slant front Westinghouse dryer with the little door on top of the dryer to allow acccess to the lint screen to clean it until I got to use/play with a 1957 Westinghouse dryer when I was like 9 or 10 in 1963 or 1964. So that could be a deal breaker with my thought and dryer design.

maybe I can make one, but I don't know what it looks like yet.

anybody have a pic of one, to see what it looks like. I am getting the book with it, but not till I get the dryer delivered.
