Hello fellow members of this wonderful same interest of JOY.
Jeff and I got there right a 2 like I had told the owner. All I can say at this point is OMG.

TechTalk catalogs
Fabric Softner Dispensers
Transmissions (Only saw for skinny Mini)
Switches
Knobs
Pressure Switches
Spare Washer Tubs (perferated)
Some tools (Frigidaire)
Lint Chaser rings
Caps for the agitators
Original parts galore!!!!!!!!!!!!! All in their boxes.
Ton's of appliances, but only 4 W/D. (Just trashed everything last week) - I was dying - literaly, sweat, dialated pupils etc.
Jim and his Brother Paul were exceptionaly nice folks. The story goes, their father was the local Frigidaire dealer starting in 1940. He was ill in 1985, passed and Jim took over the business. Still with a plethera of customers in that area of MS, mostly Frigidaire GM customers, they maintained inventory to service all these customers. Jim is ready to retire now. However will still on a part time basis still service appliances. The show room was long gone, since WCI. They hate it, we talked for 4 hours and WCI was the sour subject.
These fellows have no idea what they have in their now called warehouse. Very dusty, but yet all is sorted by part #. It was really amazing.
Now they also have:
A 1930's something ABC wringer, very cool
Flaire Stove
Beautiful Refrigerators by GM
Some dishwashers not of a vintage however
Tons of spare parts everywhere that are not labeled.
Dashers like crazy
What their wish is is to have someone who can use or sell the parts on the as need basis, then may be interested in what's left over as far as appliances.
Ok guys, I am going to be Frank. We came home with 4, that are not listed on the auction, nor are/were they a part of the auction! That's why I felt a trip was in order, since I live so close.
1 WJ-60A serial number 71E283 (Unimatic)
1 TJ-60 serial number 15SA995 (Dryer)
1 DI-57 (Control tower dryer)
and a 1-18 (Cannot read the model I think WC-I?)
Guess what, They all WORK just great. Cosmetics are in order however.
Ok here is the worst. We came thru Biloxi and were crying due to the distruction we encountered from Katrina. I will try to post some of what we saw in a bit.
These folks are real people, and are wonderful to talk to. They know it all.
Steve
