Politics Of Drying

1979 was a good year for dryers. Especially the Maytag DG410. So the dryer died, and I refused to go out and drop 3 to 400 on a new one, when the cloudless hawaiian sky beckons.

$150 From craigslist

So I searched the Costco store (899 for a primo top-o-da-line model) that would probably crap out in a year or 2's time. Then I hunted the appliance stores around town, and most were 400 +. Then the genius that I am, (pat, pat on me back, back) Decdied to look at the classifieds, and craigslist. The classified ads brought nada, but craigslist was a feast of opportunity. (if you never heard of it, it is like a local ebay/classifieds/yard sale)And I hooked up with the seller of the 1979 Maytag DG410.

Why go new, when you can go classic? Just listen to the sounds of Greg Brady running down those California Stairs. You can hear a faint "This is the big one, 'Lizbeth" from Fred Sanford, or even here Archie yelling "You Dingbat!" to Edith. This piece of art was / is a bargain at 150.

Why? -

She is solid. She is refurbished w/ a new motor in 2004. She carried little if any lint on her persona when looked at.

And damn, I like a bargain.
