i think...

#4 frigidaire washer is a "GM" frigidaire.
the give-away is the line across the front panel & that the lid doesn't have the inset for the lid all the way across the opening of the lid.
(not sure i explained that right??)

Hi Christina - thanks!

 

[whirlcool]

Does it have the "GM Mark Of Excellence" logo on the control panel?

 

[laundromat]

Yes both of the washers here are GM.

#1 The $700 fridge with the message recorder is too expensive but it's not very common!

#3 is RCIE-75L, a nicely-featured model. John LeFever has one like that. Not too far from Beltsville... John, do you need spare parts?! If I was closer, I'd get it!

#4 is a GM 1-18, a 1974-75 WIA or a later WID
#5 is a WCI Laundry Center.

I have one like the #6, a 1973-74 Custom Deluxe RCDE3-38W. That's a simple and reliable stove with a Heat Minder burner and self-cleaning oven.

#7 is a 1956 Imperial with a single oven RI-45-56 or RIS-45-56 (the RIS model lacked the Heat Minder and Speed Heat burners).

#8 is a 1954 model, not 1958

#9 is a 1966-67 RCI-645K

A refrigerator that is equipped to allow your food to record itself is cool, and a 20 cu.ft model like this was top of the line.

These days, 20 cu. ft. is the starting point for side by sides.

There were also larger 36" wide 22 Cu-Ft models since the late 1960s. But the larger models didn't have 3 doors or a tape recorder.

The 36" models still had metal liners rather than ABS liners.

$700 Fridge

I went and looked at this fridge as it is along the lines of what my wife and I are looking for. This thing had a few issues.
1. Top freezer door was taped on as the seal did not sit flush
2. Inside top freezer looked melted
3. Freezer side felt cool not cold after running for a few hours
4 Fridge side did not feel like it was below 50-55

That being said - exterior was in good shape and the radio did work. They also had a "extra" top freezer door with no radio, that did not seal flush either. The seller was willing to go to $300 over the phone and I could have probably offered $150 and left with it, just do not want another project at the moment.

Seller is a super nice guy and we spent almost 2 hours talking to him and his son. If someone has the time, this could be a decent unit.

So they were asking $700.00 for a non working fridge? Hmmmmm......

 

[delaneymeegan]

Yes, but it has an audio center to keep your food entertained when you can't be there to eat it.  This feature distracts your food from eating each other, or from eating itself.   People don't realize how much food is lost each year just by food eating itself.  Its a great waste.  Frankly, I think it's easier to just buy a cheap alarm clock and leave inside the frig, but back in the 70s, it was all the rage to show off your audio prowess on the outside.
