very cool!!

I think it might be just "dusty"? But for "free", you can't beat it!

I how someone gets it...

 

[sudslock1]

Email sent!

Just sent an email and will call in the morning. Would be a great machine to get and the price is right. Would have to find the dryer next.

 

[bajaespuma]

Doh!

I would post 2nd dibs on that machine!

That is a Gold Crown model, made for large dealers to sell with slightly different features and trim at a slightly lower price. Because you can't find the same model at just any store, customers could not price shop these models easily.

ad is still up....

 

[ovrphil]

Gold Crown - a name that begs for cleaning.

Tom, how do you spot these details?

 

[sudslock1]

I got it

I made a deal with the seller. Picking it up later this week.

 

[ovrphil]

Cheers!

Sudslock - Congrats!!! We'll all be interested in seeing what's beneath the dust.

[delaneymeegan]

Good for YOU !

 Hope the trip goes well.  We'll need pictures, please.

Looking forward to seeing pics.

Congrats! That's a WN7, it had the Rapidry 1000 spin and separate controls for the wash and rinse temperature which allows any selection you like!

I have one in Avocado.

 

[ovrphil]

"I have one in Avocado"

They came in Avocado, Coppertone, White and what other colors, PhilR?

I have zilch in Frigidaire washers or dryers, but I get alot of mileage viewing

others goodies.

 

[hippiedoll]

I have a question...

So would this Frigidaire be a solid tub washer?

 

[bajaespuma]

I love these tumblers

HippieDoll-Yes this is a solid-tub

Phil-The pictures below should answer the question although I'm not sure what year(s) "Honey Beige" was a color choice except for 1966

 

[philr]

Phil, they were also available in Harvest Gold.

Christina, yes it's a solid tub. This is also a time-filled model (some 1966 and later models were pressure-filled).

 

[philr]

It looks like Ken had already replied when I did!

Honey beige was a 1966 color. It was not available on all models as it was exclusive to some TOL models.

 

[ovrphil]

Those Tumblers

are so cool - thanks Ken!

I've never seen those before - promotional glasses way back when?

Is that Mayfair Pink?

 

[delaneymeegan]

Thanks Ken for the drinkable color charts.

Honey beige is like Toast from the 80s.

It'd be cool to have dishware like this for everyday use. [this post was last edited: 12/18/2015-03:25]

There was also a Frigidaire glass that displayed just 3 colors: White, Avocado and Colonial Copper. Harvest Gold was introduced a bit later than the other earth-tone colors.
