Look at the sculpture on that door! I mean, I like panels as much as anyone but pritmuch every other washer is just a box with a panel by comparison. (Except the 3-stripe Easys.)

If there's a 9" wheel on the R behind the panel of the dryer, keep your eye on the space between inner and outer tub. Once a year I had to dig the lint out with a coathanger. The tub would stop turning, the lint picked it plum up off the drive wheel. Otherwise the dryer was trouble free. The washer needed motor pulley, pump pulley, pump shaft, spin sheave, boot. Boot was the only thing I couldn't do. I was 15.

Unbelievable! I guess you will have to buy another house then!

Or you could always put up an 'outbuilding' for a washer studio.

You really have an amazing collection Jon. Congrats on your newest acquisiton.

The luck of the Irish????

What a great find!!! And they look to be in such good shape. I'm guessing 1954, 1955. I used these as a kid going around town washing in other people's homes.

I have room!!! I have room!!!!

Good luck with them. They're quiet as a mouse when running.

These are the FLs

that I remember best from my childhood, at least 2 neighbors had them. Bendix was also big then iirc.

Melrose! My Mom's mom lived on Warwick Rd for 53 yrs, and my Dad grew up on Porter St.

WOW This is my DREAM set! Awesome! I'm on the hunt for this now and I will have this set sooner or later! Do you have any good resources for parts?

 

[foraloysius]

Those are pretty machines!

When can we order Rosalie's?

 

[randycmaynard]

Congrats on the dream find.............

I'm still looking for the elusive 1956 Deluxe Set - I would gladly give up the two vintage machines I have if I could find my dream set from '56. It's hard find to say the least and several years searching have been unsuccessful - but the search will continue!

 

[norgeway]

Oh MY!!!

I hope you DO have a wash in someday, I want to attend!!!!Donalds Mom would have a fit, her first washer was a Westinghouse and she has never liked anything else!!
