1958 Frigidaires. That is my #1 dream set. Somehow, I found the dryer in white within driving distance from my home. It runs, but I haven't used it beyond a few seconds of testing because I want to take it apart, clean everything, inspect all the parts, and lubricate bearings before putting...

I'll be there. And Wes (Elginkid) is riding with me. We'll be leaving from Cincinnati after work on Friday, so we won't be present for activities until Saturday. Looking forward to the trip, Dave

Leaded gas. Leaded gas has been banned in the US since 1996. It was last sold in New Mexico, a state with low humidity, little vehicular rust, and a populace without a ton of extra money. In other words, since cars last longer there, drivers in NM keep their cars longer because it makes...

Ranges. While I worked in the appliance parts business, I kept my eyes open. The weak points of the Frigidaires were their electronic controls and drawer glides. Mercifully, the oven controls were so failure-prone that my store kept shelves of them on hand at all times and they were typically...

Already on it. Elginkid saw it a few days ago and contacted the seller on my behalf but was told someone was already picking it up on 6/10. I REALLY want a WCI-58. I have the matching dryer in white already. Short of that, any Unimatic would do. I'll keep dreaming, Dave

Both ranges are available. I can likely make a space to store one if you'd like. Let me know, Dave Anyone else want one?

This kitchen is up for grabs in Cincinnati. I am posting here because of its design and not because it is a formal sale. The ranges are identical. They are Sears Kenmores, but they are gas with self-cleaning ovens. I don't know when the first gas self-cleaners showed up, but these are the...

A700 The washer looks like an A700, the predecessor of the A806. Dave

Not an 806 The washer looks to be a lower-end 1-speed machine. It may have 3 water levels, which is a regular-capacity tub. Were there ever any 3-level large capacity machines? The dryer may be an HDE606, or lower. Good guts though. Dave

Love It! Looks Great! Dave

I got this one! I know next to nothing about Hotpoint impeller dishwashers. It will be quite some time before I can get to this one. It may be up for grabs if someone wants it. What can you tell me about this Hotpoint? Dave

Sheet Care. I have my water heater cranked up to 155 degrees, with a thermostatic mixing valve on the output. The tempered water at 120 degrees goes to all the sinks and showers throughout the house. I have one branch of 155 degree liquid fire, however, going to my laundry room. Why do I...

It's a slippery slope. If you doubt that, look at my basements (yes, that's plural) and garage. I've got a few washers. I also have a 1950 Frigidaire refrigerator which needs a relay and some paint & a 1954 GE upright freezer which could use a door gasket, wiring, & paint. It does have its...

Late 1930s / early 1940s? Was this intended for a commercial installation? I replied to the message. Come hell or high water, someone is going to get this gem. This is getting good, Dave

I got the day off. Now to see about accommodations. Dave

Someone I know here in Cincinnati is selling what appears to be a pre WWII GE double-door refrigerator. It looks like my 1939 SO2 unit, but bigger and in good condition. In fact, it's still in use. It's set into an alcove in its kitchen. The owner doesn't know how much it's worth, but is...

I'm trying. I couldn't get Friday off, but I requested Monday. We'll see if it's approved. If so, I'll try and attend this year. I got a 1951-ish Westinghouse slant front set. The top of one is destroyed. The washer is a LONG way from running, but I could see about bringing the dryer...

I just saw this. Is anything left aside from the WCI? Dave

Thank you all! That solved an interesting mystery. Dave

Some friends of mine in Durham, NC are looking at a house in Durham, NC and came across this thing. What on earth is it? The house is supposed to date from 1940, but I have no idea if that is accurate. Dave
