Hey Gang Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Here's some pics of the 56 Unimatic set that I picked up in Michigan that Robert had posted for sale back in Sept. Van loaded and ready to go to Michigan Yeah !!!

Jimmy, Thanks for posting the pics of the restoration. I now have a visual to go with all the explaining that you have been telling me about the restoration. Now all you have to do is kneel and pray to the God of Washer Leaks to keep that baby running trouble free for another 50 years. Jim

Should be "Custom Deluxe" -- bad spelling sorry, Jim

Looks the same as my model that I just replaced the timer on. It's 2 speed with infinite water level control. Mine is a Coustum Deluxe model from '73 Great machine--- I use it for at least one load a week Someone grab it if they can And the lint filter trays are still available at some parts stores.

Jimmy, So glad to see that you finally got that washer running after finding that rare part that you needed. I know how long and hard you've been working on it. Congrats! Can't wait to see them running in person. And I promise not to play with your buttons. Also I might be bidding on that...

Hey Guys, Yes, I'm the lucky winner of the WI-56 set that Robert posted for sale earlier this month. I had a lot of trouble contacting the owner. We were playing e-mail and phone tag for over a week, and because of both my schedule and the seller's schedule it took another 2 weeks before I...

Beautiful restoration Rick! That's the same model that my great Aunt had. I use to sneak down her basement when she had it running to watch it wash. I would always come up with some lame excuse as to why I was down there for soooo long. I'm sure that she never suspected that I was fascinated...

Hey guys Great pics of the restoration process. Since I'm sure the official Frigidaire replacement oil is long gone, I was wondering what oil you used as replacement and how much it took. Jim
