I was in the garage today working putting the belts on the Multi-Tragic, when the dude that lives on the corner walked over.
He said he found an old washer and dryer set at an auction, and wondered if I wanted them. I went over with him to look, expecting an almond direct drive Kenmore....
What he found was a set of 1965 Frigidaire Custom Imperials! Well, they are in perfect cosmetic condion, and the washer is a Rapid-Dry. They said the washer worked, and they did test it to be sure. It was still wet inside, so I knew it had jsut been used. I paid him for the set, and the boyz unloaded them into my garage. I have not done much with them, as I had too much other work to do today. I did a windex quicky clean up to the exterior of the set, and they look as new! The dude said that they were upstairs in the kitchen of the house, and the entire kitchen was all Frigidaire, all the same colour. (copper colour, but without shading) This is NOT my favourite colour, but I do have to admit, they look really good with all the flawless chrome. The control panels are also in perfect condition. They are starting to grow on me, and that is a little frighting, as I never really liked this style of Frigidaire washer and dryer. All the original paperwork was also with the set, but I have to go over and pick it up.
The dude also bought the fridge, and it was the same colour and Frigidaire brand. He is keeping that. It was also in perfect condition.
At any rate, I will check this set out further next weekend. Sorry that I do not have any pixs to share, will try to get some this week and post. <:
