That photo is a bit deceptive. That particular Mini-Basket only fits the Perf-tub models with a Straight-3 Activator. They were labeled either V-14 or V-16 depending on the model year. Those models were sold between 1967 and 1972 IIRC.

I learn amazing amounts of information from this post. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. This generation of Frigidaire washing machines is my all-time favorite and the aquamarine color scheme is the icing on the cake. One persistent question: what is the "PUSH" button next...

and thank you Greg! I'm glad somebody else said it... and that beautiful pink GE kitchen just screams Fred and Ethel Mertz.

If the 1957 Frigidaire Imperial Control Towers aren't displayed in MOMA, somebody's asleep at the wheel. One of my many choices for runners up would be the other Automobile company's Philco "juke-box" washing machine that I saw in the display window of Bloom and Krup in the late sixties. I...

This looks like a very early "Convertible-portable". Our downstairs neighbors had the built-in version of this BOL. My Mother always groused that this was the dishwasher they should have installed. She hated buttons and bells and whistles.

Even for a GE top loader fanatic like me  they're dreaming, fever dreaming.   Maybe if it had the woodblock top, the Silver Shower, ANYTHING but the Clown-shoe power module, and was delivered filled with Hyacinth's complete set of Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles...   Now, if...

Aferim! I always thought this was the best combination: an A702 for all the features plus the versatility the 902 doesn't have and the 90 dryer that is, I believe, the same as the 702 dryer only with pushbuttons instead of a dial.   Enjoy them in good health!

Thank you Robert This Website has been a pleasure, a priceless resource and a great community. It won't be the same without you , but I hope we can keep it up to your standards.

My two Holy Grails An early WP-600 with the two pumps. I have a later one that I cherish but the cycle control is slightly broken because it skips from interval to the next interval without draining so at the end of the wash/rinse period the tank is almost 1/2 full with water.   A 1961or...

The V vintage is my all time favorite. I love those dials and that backsplash. I will do a graphic of that beautiful machine.

Does anyone have specs for this machine? Thank you for the advice.     Can you give me some examples of the other challenges?  

Some more help please:   I have an early A406 with the original Powerfin Agitator. I want to remove it but, before I destroy it:   <ol> <li>It doesn't have a set-screw in the side of the agitator.</li> <li>It has what looks like a huge Philips-head set of slots in a poly circle down inside...

One of my favorite Vintages Pity they were all unreliable; they were so cool.

Thank you for the generous information. I have a collection of about 20 Tags (washers, dryers) where some have survived storage better than others. My objective is to end up with an:   <ol> <li>A808S</li> <li>A806</li> <li>A606</li> <li>A406</li> <li>A206</li> <li>A702</li> <li>A502</li>...
