Ah, yes, I remember these . . . . . . but mine were Whirlpools. I had the washer and dryer in the last condo I owned before buying my house. The washer had the folding lid (as the dryer was mounted on a stand above) but didn't have a water level selector. I remember the dryer, at 110v, was very...

Imagination or just marketing? Gotta' love Kenmore's variety. The probably had more console layouts over the years than anyone. Sorry to see such imagination left to the past. Kelly

In GP? Lee, an appliance graveyard in Grand Prarie? Sounds interesting - and close! Kelly

Just gotta' say it... Ohhh, Aaaaandy! Poor Floyd.

**** Those old four-stars were absolutely beautiful. Dick, your's looks like it's in even better condition than the one Aunt Helen had when it was new! Even then, I knew it was something special. I'm curious too about the four-star designation. Surely sounds TOL, but the LK bests them? What...

All those 'matics I'm still learning the glorious Frigidaire history, but I THINK it goes like this: An older pulsator mechanism, called 'pulsamatic' was used until 1957 or 8. Earlier versions had a short, strange-looking agitator that ran at a very high speed. The unimatic showed up about...

Drop Deal (Dead?) Auctions This is obviously a commercial reseller using Ebay on behalf of it's customers - not a bad business venture, if run properly and handles shipping, receiving and payments. That's probably the reason form the excessive pros, lack of information and number of conditions...

Glad to see someone else acknowleged that a collector may be interested...and aren't asking $2000!

Fountain of Optimism indeed! You can tell by the text this seller is targeting the collector market. Hollywood might pay 2 grand for period props...and they wouldn't need to work. The upside is that occasional asking prices like this may make people more aware of old appliances they have, get...

Thank YOU You e-mailed me the ad back in October, I think. Glad I saved it, it's a great vintage ad, 'specially if you like the 50's colors! A local department store back in Amarillo around 1960-1 or so had dislayed these side by side, like a rainbow. (BTW - my parents didn't mind my looking at...

Looks like a SpaceMate, smaller machines that could be stacked or built in. The ad was sent by another member when I'd asked about them some time ago. Good luck finding a mate though, these appear to be very rare - more so than the slant fronts. I don't even know if anyone here has one. They...

Just when I thought I'd had my fill of '61-3 Frigidaires, someone has two of these ads for the '61 Custom Imperial at her Ebay store. Too bad it isn't for the real thing! Kelly...

Absolutely Deluxe! Jim, congratulations on your new machines. Being able to photos of see these and the Custom Imperials Rich posted previously makes a great start to my new year too. The 'clamshell' Frigidaires are my all-time faves. I was surpized to see the dryer has automatic control...

Pushbuttons = TOL Rich, your Frigidaires are beautiful. I remember a lot of 'em from that era, but never the pushbutton models. They just shout '60s! Enjoy, and have a great new year. Kelly

Red ornaments - explanation Scott, Merry Christas to you! Glad you enjoyed your stay in Dallas. It's nice to live where you don't have extended periods of cold weather and could have a day in the 80s in February! I realized the color photos were taken last year - with gold ornaments. That...

In living color!

I put this in the Imperial forum, since that's where I'm most active. Anyway, thought you might enjoy my retro tree!

Complete with Jet Action! Those seem to be fairly rare, that is the model with separate timer knobs and windows. I think the later rollermatics had rectangular dials, didn't they? Great machines! Kelly

Truyly Magic minute! The old Kelvinators were one of the most unusual machines around. Magic Minute was just part of it...the 'centric action', along with Philco TLs and Frigidairs made for a nice departure from the typical 'swish-spash' of all the others. BTW: I never knew how my aunt's '59...

Helpee-Selfee and Frigidaire Yes, I beleive those were Frigidaire sponsored franchises. Early jet-cones, I think put into commercial washers while the last version of the three-ring were still in home models. I've never seen one, but a friend's grandmother owned a Helpee-Selfee in southern...
