FRIGIDAIRE finds on my recent holiday / road trip to Melbourne Victoria Part 1

[mayfan69]

Hi Guys,
I recently got back from a holiday to Melbourne Victoria (2,000 klms and 2 states) away from where i live to visit friends. While there, i hired a car and travelled around rural Victoria to be able to visit 4 people who contacted me via my Wanted adverts over the past few months.

The first find is this 1962 Frigidaire fully automatic Three Ring Agitator in very good condition. It still works fine as i had it tested while there. This machine has been in the owner's garage for the past 20 years after they replaced it with a newer model.

Other Frigidaire finds to follow in this thread and other finds to follow in seperate threads....

Frigidaire spare parts finds....

As well as the washer, i visited an old repairman in the same area who sold me some spare parts, tools and repair manuals for Frigidaire and other brands. Below is some of the parts....which are no longer available. I feel very fortunate in being able to secure these.

Hi Leon
WOW
Where was the dealer? What was the business name?

Thanks

Chris.

I think I have the instructions for that washer. They are printed on pink cardboard. Let me know if you would like a copy.

Hi Leon,

Congrats on those great finds. The handles on those bellows pliers are different from the ones I have - really neat.

Here we go again.

This is too exciting! Can't wait to see what else you found.

Funky looking fill-flume! You've got torque springs and bellows----ready for many years service. Now, what about a new pulsator "energy ring"? The one in the photo has seen better days and has a large split.

Very kool to see another surviving "diaper-washer" of that era.
