Great finds, Steve! You'll have a lot of fun with those new machines, hopefully you'll get the choice of parts from the business as well. Congrats on the great haul!
Cool Stuff!
These items are real Great stuff. Is that Frigidaire dryer realy a Hamilton made dryer?
Best Of Luck!

Yes Peter, it is a Hamilton dryer.
Steve, all I can saw is WOW. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you and Jeff for going the distance and getting well into the race.
I know it's a painful question, but did they give you an idea of what washers & dryers they got rid of last week? It never fails :-(

This "sale of business inventory" will of course go as those things do. I'm hoping that those of us who have need for some Frigidaire parts (such as myself) will have a chance at them in the end.
Hi Steve, WOW congratulations, what wonderful machines to have brought home. And a big welcome to the Unimatic owners club, I know you'll have great fun using that wonderful machine. You have to keep us posted when you give them all full test runs.

*LOL*
Seriously, only post links to auctions as my way of helping the group. Glad to be of some service in my own humble way.
Ok Steve, when I said go down to MS and "take one for the team", did not mean for someone to "take for themselves"! *LOL*
What a haul! Congrats on your find, well worth the trip I'd say. Thank you also for "taking one for the team" and seeing what was what, and taking/posting snaps. Are you going to go for broke on the auction or have a cut off point?
I'm thinking now that you have posted pictures and described what is for sale, various lurking sharks may begin to circle. If anyone in the group is truly serious about WestyTopLoader's and MustangMan's suggestion that a pool is established to keep the parts "in the family", there are only 5 or so days left to work out the details.
OTHO the winning club bidder could sell of some of the appliances that are in working order (with a promise of spares if they are in the warehouse) to recoup some of his/her money. In all honesty it might be a tad more economic to perhaps sell off the better/in good conditon appliances to help finance keeping the spare parts. After all it is going to take some space to store those parts, and not to mention time to catalog the entire inventory. Just a thought.

Oh, Steve - what great finds - so great that you were able to get there quickly. Well worth the trip I would say.... Considering the devastation there it is amazing that nothing in that warehouse was damaged.
I have seen some close up pics of the devastation and it does make you cry. Our church has "partnered" with Our Lady of the Gulf Parish in Bay St. Louis and we are collecting contributions and equipment to rebuild the church and school - there is NOTHING left. I have never seen anything like it. I know that over the years Mississippi has had a bad rap for a lot of things, but having had the opportunity to work there for a few years, I can tell you that I met some of the kindest, most generous people there and many are still my friends. I was overwhelmed with hospitality and friendship - they do not deserve this disaster.
NOW on to the business at hand. I think pooling our resources is a swell idea as long as we can get some of the parts needed to keep our Frigidaire washers running. I am having a terrible time finding parts needed for my W-2 and my WIC-A. The W-2 needs new bearings, an agitator arm and new bellows. The WIC-A needs a new wheel clutch, new rollers and snubber ring. It is probably also a good idea to keep an extra bellows on hand...
Luckily I was able to get a few lint filters here as I broke mine the first time I used the WIC=A (rapping it against the sink to clean it.....)
Anyway, keeping the parts in the family is a good idea -- who else is game????? It is a good opportunity for us to help each other!!!

Question
I think the refrigerators are cool. I would love to get one for my future home. What about the dishwashers? Are they new or old? I'd love to see pics if you can send them too.

In the first pic, those look like DW racks that were for Frigidaire's first series of wash-arm design, what was it called, surging power or something like that/
Great haul! Did they give any indication of what they want for the 'fridges?

Answers to Questions and some more stuff
Austin (westytoploader): Did not get any parts, as they are included in the auction. Would love to have bought the yellow refrigerator, but no room for that. Yes, I felt the water against the cabinet on your machine when spinning.
Peter (peteski50): Yes, that is a Hamilton made dryer. (Thanks Bob appnut)
Bob (appnut): Speaking with the two gentlemen, they concluded that in the last 2 week, over 8 box trucks to the dump/krusher as we call it. Many times referring to "AND MOST OF THE MACHINES were in perfect working and cosmetic order" "We just needed to start getting rid of things". Yea, I had to leave the building and smoke 3 cigs and sip some whisky to deal with it LOL! Idea, go find where that krusher is, he said because of the hurricane etc, it take 4 hours just waiting with one truck of items. So one can only imagine (if you have seen this place) that those machines are in a holding tank for now.)
Glenn (DADoES): I am certain that you will get your part if you need one and it is available in inventory.
Launderess: No, the cut off point has been decided, aint gonna go broke.
angus: Don't know who else is in the game, but I am certain that all will work out and the club members will fare well. I could not be part specific, as I am not that well versed on what is what and what is for which Frigidaire machine????????????? It will have to be catalouged and inventoried for usage and availability.
SteveD(steved): There were some dishwasher parts, clueless as to which ones.
Joe(jamman_98): I only saw one or two dishwashers, not of a vintage era. Not brand new either.
kennyGF (Goatfarmer): We did not go there with pricing for the fridges. I know they are all for sale. What Joe (the owner)said to me is: "We hope that whoever gets our inventory, will want these machines at the time of the sale being over, we would like to offer it to them first. They will have a pirce attached to them. I am sure by weeks end, any money will do with these guys, or they would have already got rid of them. I commanded them not to trash anything else in the entire building, in fact, we dug the dumpster some and pulled things back to the shelves!!!!!!!!!

Experience
This has been an exciting unusual weekend for me. I am blessed to have a wonderful companion and partner like Jeff who will put up and support all my bull S**t with my hobby! (Oh just kidding, he loves the machines and all that too)
I have never done anything like this before, but at least I had the experience of discovering what some of the members here felt like upon a find like this.
I will be looking for much support, as the only Frigidaire machines I have worked on are the 1-18's Washer & Dryer. After that, I aint no good dah'lin.
Thanks for all the nice congrat's and cheers. You all are wonderful.
Steve (guess I can change myscreen name, no longer just kenmore and maytag)hehehe

Up for grabs
I opted to cancel my bids. Time and space are not in my favor, just found out that the warehouse I would have used will not be available. It is not possible at this point to go further, but will assist whoever may win.

Steve, I'm glad the 3 smokes and some whiskey helped. I literally am torn up inside and wanna sob. It seems the laundry stuff is the first to go always. Why can't they do the stoves, fridges first. Another chance lost for a potential 1000 rpm+ Frigidaire I crave so badly. Thank you again for all you did this weekend.

Auction Help
The bidding is lower now and time is running out.
O.K. I mention this again. Do we want to pool our money? With mayken4now - Steve out of the auction do we want to lose this. I have to go out of town and may not be close to a computer to organize this. That's what I was trying to do last week. WE NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO HAS A WAREHOUSE. I DON'T. STEVE HAD WRITTEN TO ME EARLIER SAYING HE HAD A STORAGE ISSUE AND WAS ANTICIPATING HE WOULD BE OUT BIDDED. I APPRECIATE HIS EFFORTS IN TRYING TO GET A WAREHOUSE. SOMEONE ON HERE HAS SAID IF YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE. I HATE TO SEE PEOPLE ON HERE LATER COMPLAINING WE LOST THIS AUCTION. I'll try to get to a computer at the local library in the town I'm going to for business to see what the latest is.

Frigilton Dryer
Congratulations, Steve.
A friend's mom had one of the early dryers like that, except it had a timer and a thermostat. It was very weird to watch because to make it look different from a Hamilton, the window position in the door is reversed. Instead of seeing clothes tumble over and down, you see them at the bottom part of the drum where they kinda land and start going back up. Even though it had the lights like a Hamilton, it was not an enjoyable dryer to watch; too strange and we won't even get started about how strange too strange for me would have to be.
