1956 Frigidaire and Hotpoint for sale!

[swestoyz]

Suddenly it's 1956 all over again! It is time for these beauties to find new homes to make room for some of the additions that came in last fall. Rather than accepting silent bids I made the decision to throw up eBay auctions.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions. I do have the original circulator ring for the '56 Frigidaire. I never used it as it had swelled and slips on the pulsator column.

Here's a few posts from when both machines were found, along with some of the work completed.

And... a documentry on the '56.

Ben,

Both machines are so classy.  The pink trim on the FD is fantastic!  Too bad we can't still buy products like this today.

 

I like the idea of using Ebay.

Hi Ben

Thanks for offering both of these beauties. Wish I had room here in Key West. You wouldn't happen to have a WEG and/or a DEEG that need a good home, would you?

All the best,
Rich

Thanks, Lawrence & Rich!

Rich - can't say that I have an Elite set in the collection. If I stumble across one I'll let you know!

Those are really beautiful. I mean, I just bought, a few days ago, a Maytag 4.7ft3 agitator model. It's absolutely boring looking. Whatever happened to the classy look? Good luck swestoyz...can't imagine this set not meeting your selling price expectations.

Still Available???

Ben,

I can't believe that your gorgeous Hotpoint washer has no bids yet. Maybe guys don't realize how beautifully lighted the control panel is, and that the buttons are also lighted. That red agitator really sets it off. Again, wish I had room.

All the best,
Rich
