Direct drive washer. Easy way to tell if it’s a belt drive or direct drive is by the width of the cabinet, if the washer is 29” wide, it’s a belt drive. 27” wide would be a direct drive.

Though, the early 80’s 24” belt drives and direct drive had the same look, which makes identifying them a little tricky, especially when no one gets a picture of the tub or with the lid open.

is not a basic GE dryer, but a DI 810 with auto dry, a pedal door opening system and an interior light. It dates from around 1962 or so.

I never understood why Frigidaire stuck with those fat Radiantubes when they were no longer necessary for providing an all over heating pattern with 5 heat position switches once infinite heat switches came along. I can cook on them and accepted the fun challenge of using them for years but they were not the most modern surface units after the early 50s.

Looks like what happens when blue jeans are only washed in cold water.
