Control Tower dryer...

I have just seen an ad for a 1957 Frigidaire Filtrator dryer on Kijiji Toronto.

I communicated with the seller but I don't think I'll take it, even if it's free...

She told me it's been unused in the last 2 1/2 years and that it needs to be moved quickly... So if somebody has to get there, here's your chance!

Free ???

Ooh Phil, I like it.  Too bad no matching washer to go with it.

 

What did the seller say that is making you pass on it?

Nothing (other than I asked if she by any chance had the matching washer and she said no!). So I just don't think I'll make the trip to Toronto to get it... I'd like to have a Filtrator dryer but since I don't have the matching washer... If nobody grabs it, I might try to get it but Toronto is almost 8 hours away from where I live!

Ohhhhhhh

one of the coolest ever! Go get it Phil! Then sell it to me someday!

That dryer is in nice shape!

Phil do your duty or no touchy on blackie charcoals when you come down!!!

You know, Phil, there's also a dehumidifier in that neck of the woods....  You know what I'm talking about....

I honestly don't know why you feel that there should be a matching washer. They were relatively short lived washers with a fragile mechanism and the dryer is 55 years old already. I can understand the distance making you reluctant to go for it, but please don't have an attitude; she did not advertise a pair.

Paul, that's why I told you if you wanted it, I was ready to go there with you and I would have bought the dehumidifier for me instead!

Tom,
If it would be near Montreal, I would have grabbed it! (I say that but I passed on a 25$ 1960 Custom Imperial Filtrator in Montreal a few years ago because it had a bad timer and it didn't come with the matching washer). I had regrets a few weeks later and I contacted the seller and it was sent to scrap... Since then, I bought a 1968 Dryer alone because I knew where there was a similar 1968 washer to match it not too far from my hometown (and I ended getting another dryer at the same time!).

But since it's quite far from where I live, that's why I posted it here!

And for those like me who have storage space limitations (we all do to a certain point), we have to choose what we want most first! Tomorrow, I should get a fridge identical to one I already have but that's something I really want!

What`s this dehumidifier you`re referring to.

 

[philr]

An old Frigidaire dehumidifier I saw for sale... I have most GM Frigidaire appliances (some x2, x3, x4...) but I'm still missing a few like a water heater, a dehumidifier, a room air conditioner, a trash compactor... Among them, I'd like to have at least a room air conditioner and a dehumidifier...
