Found a '68 Frigidaire Washer/Dryer Set This Weekend!

[swestoyz]

What an amazing find, Doug!  And to think if you had not gone to the sale the set probably would have ended up at the scrap yard.

 

The black knobs are interesting, I don't recall seeing many N line washers/dryers with black selector knobs. 

 

Are you planning on putting these in as daily drivers?

Aferim!

I'm envious; I would so love to find an old Frigidaire pair like those. That Sunny Yellow is much less offensive a color than Harvest Gold (or even Harvest); seems it would work in more locations than the latter.

 

Use them in good health!

Wow that really is a rare find and in Sunny Yellow! They look like they were used very lightly. Congratulations Doug!

Why am I suddenly unable to see anything past the first pic?

I have had the same issue for SEVERAL days too on any post going over one picture. What is the deal? I have checked my computer and all seems fine I've allowed cookies/from site so Im kinda stumped. When you go to click on other pictures using the red arrow, a loading circle appears, but never loads any other pics....

HELPO!!!

The "Flair" Range

If they were selling that range in the first picture, it would be awfully tempting!

Awesome find and happy for you

I can really picture this model being a best seller offering flexibility for most everyday use without the frills of the top of the line models. Really like the Sunny Yellow Color too!

Re black knobs...

Our washer had the same black knobs.

Seems to me the black plastic knobs were the end of the run for the solid-tub machines. GM like most US industries in those days was being squeezed to switch to plastics so metals were more available for the Defense Industry. Or, so it was said.
The 1-18's used more plastics, however, for the most part, the knobs returned to metal. After the war ended the metals were more available. The OPEC embargo helped make more metal available as well because Detroit was unable to market the land yachts like they used to.

Beautiful set, and sunny yellow just has to put anyone in a bright happy mood every time you see them!

Congratulations!

So happy for you.

Beautiful set, congratulations.

 

It just goes to show that there are still treasures to be discovered, and that they can be had reasonably. Just gotta get out and do some exploring.

 

[gregingotham]

gorgeous!

what a find!

 

[gorenje]

Wow! This is fantastic. You can tell from how they looks that they were almost never used.

Great find and grat deal.

Congratulations !

Oh goodness. Nice DCP's you hit the washer jackpot on those low mileage machines. Congrats!

 

[vacerator]

That is a great pair!

Out resale shopping yesterday, I didn't find any appliances, but I did find a large very heavy crystal vase from Slovenia. $20.
It is shaped like half an hour glass with the wide section at the top with deep pleated cuts all the way down. The top edge is fluted.
I've not been able to identify the brand via the internet. It could be by Rogaska for Trump Home or Miller.

what does "DPC" mean

I saw it on the control panels and in mayken4now's post.  What does it stand for/signify?

 

Stunning machines in any event.  Congratulations to OP on their acquisition.
