Another set...

[glhturbo2]

Hi everyone! We finally closed on our house and have been really busy lately. I have known about these for a few months and finally went to go get them. The seller said they are original to the house. Pretty well optioned set and in nice condition as well. Paid $100 for both of them. Hope you all enjoy.

Top notch, indeed. Good to see them going to a person who will appreciate them and use them(but not too much).

Frigidaire 1/18!

Tyler this is really a beautiful set - Best Of Luck in your new home and with the 1/18 set! My Aunt had almost the same models except hers didn't have the window and was poppy color! She had the basement wall painted poppy to match the washer and dryer!

OUTSTANDING.......

They look beautiful.  I've never been one for 

Avocado, but they look really good in that color.

I would def have jumped myself.

 

Good Catch.  Enjoy!!

Nice looking set. Those GM/Frigidaire 1-18's are really starting to grow on me. That is what those are, correct?

If you wanted to pretty much completely rebuild both of those units, would you be able to source all the parts?

Awesome set and in delicious-to-die-for avocado green! I love those large 1-18 dryers — they do a great job. Have fun!

That's a great find!
1. One of the fun 70's colors,

3. A windowed-lid!

Seems like a jackpot to me!

Thank You everyone!

For the kind words. I am so glad to be able to rescue this stuff and I cannot wait to dig into them. Yes, they are a Frigidaire 1-18 set in Avacado. Though I am not a huge fan of avocado, these just look so nice. Especially with the window lid. These will look good next to the Poppy set. They also are very clean underneath as well, fortunately.

Thank You everyone and I hope we continue to find these old treasures.

Red Set + Green Set = Christmas Party!

Hi Tyler,

Congrats on another fine 1-18 set. I think 1-18's are truly underrated. These sets really cleaned anything and everything quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly. And who can argue against that fantastic spray spin! I never had a set that had any major problems.

One thing that I always did to improve drying time was to replace the front and rear felt drum seals and rollers at the same time. Use plenty of syl-glide and she will run smoothly for years.

I used my 1978 WIC-A & DECI set as daily drivers for years. Of course one day I hope to find a 1979 WEG & DEEG Elite set and would give anything for one.

Best wishes,
Rich
