As long as it is still usable after you fixed it, consider it a success!

That is what I told the wife about the dryer.....I took every screw out of it I could find. The look on her face as it was scattered all over the floor was pretty priceless..... I just looked up and said, "Fixed it, it don't make that noise no more!"

2 of the 4 "guide rollers" where toast and some of the drive system was actually in pieces! This one had a good life......I just had to put it out of it's misery! Besides I like knowing how things work..... I was also amazed at the amount of dryer lint that was in the bottom of it. Probably lucky we didn't burn the house down!

I took a gas dryer apart once to convert it into a tumbler, for skinned duck hides for taxidermy. I made it work but damn those things are complicated. Wonder what a dyson vac looks like in pieces. :)

probably a lot of plastic and a small electric motor......not much else!

Know what I found when we carried out our last deceased dryer? Something like $14 in loose change that somehow managed to get from the main drum into an area underneath. We stood outside shaking the damn thing like a piggy bank!

Yep - I pulled a few bucks out of it as well.....I didn't do as well as you did, I think I broke $3 mark.
