    Can anyone help me to identify or get more information about a metal electric drying cabinet that i have found in the house I have bought. It has an electric element in the bottom and you can hang clothes into dry...I know that the laundry/utility room was created in the 1960's but can not find a makers name nor have had any luck researching on the net. Has anyone any info?

    cheers

    I remember my Aunt's Bauknecht 488s, it was a sharp looking machine.It being a German machine, it didn't fool around getting clothes sparking. Miss it so badly. Trying to find one to restore.
