Congrats Kevin! You and Thomas have been going to town with washer acquisitions lately! I need to visit you guys.

Yay! Congratulations Thomas! Your laundry room must be jam packed now. Are you planning on stacking these? Looks like this may be a later model with reverse wash action?

Congrats Thomas! Nice find and right price. Unique and short-lived design makes that a real collector's piece.

Awesome restoration! Beautiful machine! Thanks for the photos and video documentation, Ross. I love how quiet wringer washers are -- one just hears the sloshing of the hot sudsy water.

Great times! Thanks, Mike, for taking the time to post all those wonderful photos! I really enjoyed seeing them and reading about your gathering. It's always good to see our UK mates celebrating birthdays and washing machines! Cheers!!

Maybe I'm crazy... but I seem to remember Kmart selling Westinghouse top loaders when they were first introduced, must have been 1965. It was the first time I saw a Westy top loader in person. I also recall Norge wringer washers, with a big sticker on the tub advertising a power rinse, which...

Hi Leon! A shed? That looks more like a palace!! Awesome collection and I love your fans on the top shelf!! Cheers!

Jerry Gay I also started with a fixation on a wringer washer that I got my arm tangled in the wringer! I was two years old at the time and it was a Dexter washer. Thank goodness I still have my left arm! My mom would sit me on a stool next to the washer so she could keep an eye on me while she...

Philco aluminum agitator I believe the agitator in these early Philco top loaders was the same angel wing design you would find in Philco and Dexter wringer washers, including the famous twin tubs.

new residential SQ front loader Is there a water heater?

Beautiful machine that I remember Granny having in her kitchen on The Beverly Hillbillies. Maytags always cost a bit more than other brands with their reputation being built on long-lasting dependability. This machine would cost you about $3500 today. Although many Maytags ran many years...

If you bought that Frigidaire Unimatic washer today it would cost about $2850! (I've been playing with an inflation calculator this morning.) No wonder buying a new automatic washer and/or dryer was such a big deal back then.

Congratulations on your washer! The matching dryer (located in Indiana) is for sale on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/382704290706

interesting agitator in a very cool wringer washer Yes, I thought of Apex also when I saw that agitator. If this machine is up and running, I'd love to see a video of it in action. I bet that agitator churns up a lot of splashy action.

Westy Twins That's a nice set you have there!

I bought some and it has a wonderful scent! I hope it helps the joint pain I have in my elbows. It works awesome as a moisturizer.

Beatiful set! I like the light in the washer. Enjoy! You have two very good sets there.

what year was your FriGEmore?

who made the Wards wringer washer? Based on the agitator shown in the photo, I believe that wringer washer was made by Apex.

When I was in college (more years ago than I care to recall, LOL) I worked at JCP in their shoe department. That was back in the glory days of department stores. JCP sold clothing, furniture, electronics (TVs and stereos,) small appliances and housewares and major appliances. Appliances were...
