I say sell him a new service and keep all the neat vintage equipment for yourself. 8)

Looks to me like he only has 30A 120V service to begin with. I only see one 30A fuse.

I wouldn't install anything new without upgrading the service. Some AHJs I work in don't permit anything new on a 30A service.

Let me know where you are in MD., Looks like a Baltimore City service!!

If you can do it, you are a magician!

I concur with Jeff

Those Wadsworth boxes are not exactly uncommon around these parts. I run into them from time to time.

I didn't know it was possible to obtain 220 volts anywhere in the United States?


:wink:

I can set you up with 220V. I'll have to locate the dryer a good distance from the panel, though. :D
