"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Well, I just upgraded my dryer! I was able to find a Brown 3609 X series locally (which never happens in this small town) and was able to sell my National 2408. The part that made the wife happy was getting the Brown delivered and National out in the same evening.I think that the Brown 3609 should be able to do the water base and discharge with each, maybe not doing 150 a hour, but probably like 100 or so per hour. It has 3 heat panels, can be slowed down to a 3 minute dwell, and had forced air.Interesting thing about this dryer: the power cord with plug looks to be original and is a 10/3 wire (rated for 30 amps), but the breaker on the side of the dryer is a 50 amp and the 'hot' wires on the inside of the dryer are 6 gauge. The cord looks to be original equipment. Should I change the cord to a 6/3 (for 50 amp) or leave it as is? Any other Brown 3609 owners here?
