My old White Knight gas tumble dryer died on Saturday (I'd ignored the noisy drum bearing for a year until the back of the drum cracked apart where the spider was).
Domestic gas dryers are pretty rare and after a fruitless eBay search for a replacement (I only ever buy used white goods) I bizarrely found someone less than a mile from me selling two for £80! Turns out it was a local scrapyard! I took a chance, got them home and both work perfectly - they're about 5 years old and looking at the PAT test stickers I guess they came from some kind of commercial/residential environment - spotless inside, like they've just dried a few tea towels.
My initial thought was to get the spare one on eBay, but then I thought about keeping it as a spare (I reckon the current one has about 5 years left in it) but wonder how it would cope with sitting in my (dry) garage for five or so years?
Any thoughts?
