1956 Frigidaire rescue

[kevin313]

I didn't think this pretty old girl deserved a date with the crusher of death. Here's the "before photos" - I'll clean her up and put her in my basement kitchen.

The only real wear is in the door gaskets - they look like some sort of silicone. Anyone know who might sell these? The Model Number is RIS-39-56.

I just love these french doors

Wow! Those doors are great! I much prefer that style to pull down. She looks like she will clean up quite well!

Cant wait for after pics!

What a neat range! The chrome looks so shiny. You should have little trouble spiffing her up. As far as the gaskets are concerned, maybe some better pics of them would help.

Love!

The French door models,there were a lot of the wall ovens in my hometown,as well as the fold back surface units, Frigidaire really made a fine product then! I think I have some spare parts for this if you need them!

Very Cool!!

Definately worth saving!

Certainly far too nice to crush. What a great save!

I'm sure there will be no "frigid air" in this FRIGIDAIRE!

LOL

Those doors are a dream to have and easy to put food in and out!

Wishing you the best!

Thanks all

Appreciate the nice comments - and I found the door seals online, so we should have her cookin' in time for the holidays!

Those French doors are awesome! And I've always loved the wide burner coils on GM-era Frigidaires. Glad you were able to save this beauty.

This is a beautiful range!

Very nice - does it have the Roll-To-You rack mechanism still in place? Many either didn't last and were replaced or disabled. Open the doors and the heavy pan of sloshing juices comes right at you. You wouldn't want to scorch holes in new nylon stockings or get a nasty drippings-burn so be careful or those holidays might be ruined ;-)

I had one just like this that I bought at a sale with the matching fridge. It is a gorgeous design, mine had the pink-coppery accents but your gray & white will go with any outfit! Enjoy the new bit of kitchen jewelry!
