1-18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Jamie, although it looks like a 1/18 it's not a 1-18, its an early 80s WCI washer. Look at the sids of the top, they swoop up like a 70's Westinghouse.

Those early WCI spin-offs were tough to detect. Your on the hunt.......the best is yet to come!!!
 
Hi Jamie! If you want a real GM Frigidaire 1-18, I have several in my warehouse. Just picked up two yesterday and you're welcome to have one. I don't know if they work or not as right now I have no way of hooking them up to test. When I see them, I grab them and put them in the warehouse so that members can have them if that shoud be one of their dream machines. I picked up an avacado one with a window in the lid, and an almond one without the lid window. I'll put your name on one if you want it. Mark
 
I am still hoping for one in Poppy Red. The white one I found some time ago was mistakenly sent off to the Krusher by the very guy that found it for me - - very boneheaded move. Oh, well......
 
YUK! I almost thought the same thing, until I saw that rounded Westinghouse-style lid...now I thought "P.O.S."

This machine still had the recirculating lint filter and speckled porcelain tub...might be fun to play with for a while. Put it this way: If it was in Texas I'd get it.

That control panel is the spittin image of the 1-18's though. You can tell by the top, the edges are more angular than that.
Anyone remember when the 1-18's came with a plastic lid? We used to have a home improv./lumber co called Wickes Lumber here that sold Frigidaire in the 70's. Some of the BOL models had rough plastic lids.

"Anyone remember when the 1-18's came with a plastic lid? Some of the BOL models had rough plastic lids."

The rare, lower-end, 24" Agitub machines (as well as the Agitub Skinni-Minis) had plastic lids. They weren't considered "true 1-18s" I don't think.
 
Well, they were still Frigidaires. Come to think of it, they were 1-16's. BOL? How much could they have saved with plastic.
(A forerunner of the WCI plastic future?)

What were the differences between the 1-18 and the 1-16 ("Jet Action 16") as far as capacity/tub size go?

Also, in the 1970 Tech-Talk, there's a "2-18" model listed? What was THAT? I was thinking the "2 pieces or 18 pounds" statement, but if it can wash 2 pieces it can certainly hold one!
