wow!
Very cool Robert!
Where did they come from? Or should I say where have they been all these years?

Cool! I've never seen an Easy up close before. That's quite an agitator; even more curvacious than the vintage preggers Roto-Swirl.
I take it the 1960 coin-op Frigidaire had a rubber-ring agitator, originally?
Congrats, Robert!

Amazing!! This looks like Jon - Jetcone's machine. Is this a Velva-Power transmission?
A coin-op Unimatic, the waiting paid off for sure and in color!

What *Pachinko* queen designed THAT Easy console? Nevertheless, Just love! Great find----I only recognize agitator cap and inside of lid. Looks very Beamish/Hotpointish what is it? Am glad it was you that found it as now it has a great chance of being restored.
I remember whole laundries with those Frigidaires! How unusual to find one intact!
Congratulations on a great 'fishin trip!

Oh Wow!
Robert!
What great finds!
I can't get over how great the shape of the Easy is in!
Love the Coin-Op Fridgidaire! That is so cool. You just have to leave the #7 on it.
Thanks for the pictures.

Robert - these are some amazing finds! Not only the Easy but yet another coin opp Frigidaire - in everyone's favorite color! These machines are going to fun to see - enjoy.

Thanks everyone! and yes the Easy is a "Velvapower" style direct drive transmission/pump, and a suds-saver to boot. I've never seen one of these run before, so it will be interesting.
Robert!! yee haw!!! I couldn't quite make out the script on the Easy's temp buttons. Please elaborate. Is the coin-op a 9 lb or 12 lb. machine. And cool it has more than just the basic hot and warm washes with warm rinse. Is it's cycle the same length of time as your Superduty coin-op? And congratulations don't even seem appropriate.
I'm confused...
The Frigidaire is a Unimatic? If you come up with 5 more, I can replace my Maytags with them!
The Easy is not a coin-op machine, right? Which manufacturer does the Easy serial plate say it is from? That the agitator is so fat and the spiral fins aren't quite as dramatic makes me think this is a Hotpoint sourced machine. Love love love that control panel. What a funky way to select a cycle!
Congrats!

That control panel is so "Jetson"ish. I'm expecting Rosie to roll out any minute to start a load of wash.

"From the flimsiest of fabrics to the grimiest work shirt, Easy's Spiralator washing action gets out all the dirt! Anything that you can wash, Easy does it better!"
And I had no idea there were two machines until you told me! LOVE the Frigidaire coin-op with the oversized Cissell coin box; now your wash will be all done in 18 minutes with little tangling due to the Deep-Action agitator!! What an incredible find; now we'll have to find you the "matching" turquoise Cissell double-load dryer as well...;-)
I'm especially interested in learning more about the Velva-Power transmission and how it works. For now I'll pose a couple of intriguing questions: Is the mechanism truly direct-drive like the Unimatic, or is there a rubber coupler of sorts like those machines we're all too familiar with now? Also, is this a reversing-motor design, or is there a direct KER-CHUNK into spin? The reason I ask is that there appears to be a Beam-style clothes guard, and the lid closely resembles one from a late-model 1970's solid-tub SQ.

We had an Easy automatic growing up, but it sure didn't look like that!
Congrats!

Austin, I'm not sure about the answer to any of your questions, but I have lots of Velvapower service manuals and we will find out.
Peter, looks can be deceiving, the Easy has a much BIGGER agitator than the Hotpoint...
