Tom, it's the electrical system in the Canadian model that set it apart.  There is a complete fuse block to protect the surface units, oven, and broil elements in addition to the range outlet.  Unlike the US model, the fuse block in older Frigidaire ranges was under the oven, accessible if you...

Was that Frigidaire stove a Canadian only model? Pete, yes it is.  RT-30-C, quite unlike the US models,  Built in Canada, too! 

OK, turns out the door was a bit bent....  Like yours truly... LOL    BUT I wrestled it apart, managed to ease it back into shape and it seems to be opening and closing nicely now!     Now, if I'd managed to black out Southern Quebec and Vermont doing this.... LOL 

First project I am finishing up a 1954 Canadian Frigidaire Thrifty Thirty range. This will be going to a collector friend in the US Mid-West this summer with any luck. This was an estate find, in use at the same house from the day Eaton's delivered it until the owner passed away. The oven...

And you just KNOW it's gonna be a disaster of mess in there soon.... LOL    Maybe actually having room and hopefully organized space for tools and parts, I'll be inclined to be better organized... But I know me.  

And I'll have projects to keep me out of trouble and Ogden blacked out for months!!    Let the restorations begin!

The bulk of the interior work took place while we were away.  When we got back from Brazil, the shop was complete! 

Next, the interior was closed up.  Wiring was put in - and I could tell Reddi-Kilowatt a thing or two about living better electrically... LOL   There are dedicated circuts for testing ranges and dryers, as well as for a space heater AND an air-conditioner.

Ever since I've been messing around with vintage appliances, I seem to prove the rule that nature abhors a vacuum... If there's space in the garage or house, I manage to fill it with some vintage appliance, hi-fi console, tv set, etc etc etc  When I'd tear into a machine, it was usually in the...

I may have something that would fit this.  I'm still on hiatus in Brazil, returning to Canada next week.  I should be down at the house in Ogden where my parts and supplies are all stored after April 27th, though...  I'll have a look for you when I get back.   

Zut alors!!    I have tried to give stuff away and it's wound up going to the scrappers.  AND I had to pay THEM to haul things away.   I guess living in the middle of nowhere doesn't help! 

FREE - Ad text is in French but the machines are working and to be picked up by April 21st.    I know fellow Québecois collector, Pierre-André, had been wondering about how likely it would be to find a set like this.  Well here they are!!!  

Dan, what does the receptacle for the cord look like on this one?  Please post a picture if you can. 

Congrats on your 'new' Mobile Maid, Justin!

Yikes...  I wish I was home in Canada to dig through my Frigidaire parts for you.    Hope you can find a replacement soon, Chris!  

Cold water for drying in a Duomatic The Duomatic, like a number of electric washer-dryer combos, used flowing cold water to condense the hot, steamy air from the drying clothes and wash it down the drain.   The Bendix and Philco-Bendix combos used a blower to also move air around during the...

Lawrence, the picture isn't perfect, but the cutouts for the water level and wash temperature are indeed red, thanks to tinted plastic. 

Maybe I'll finally be able to SELL some of my vintage appliances in Québec at last...  I can't GIVE them away up here!

Well, sonofagun.... I sent that brand new agitator top and cap to the former owner of this washer years ago.   He was lurker here on the site for years.  

It has been posted before BUT it's a neat-looking dryer!    For the record, it's a 1960 Frigidaire Imperial "flowing heat" dryer.  Price is coming down a bit...
