That control panel
Ben, that's one of the most wild control panels. I love it, it's very high. Beautiful find!

Yay Ben congratulations, it looks to be in beautiful shape. The tub even seems to have cleaned up nicely from what I can from the first pictures you posted to later pictures.
Congratulations, Ben!

Ditto every comment above!
I'm not even a Frigidaire aficionado but I find that machine irresistible, even in coppertone!
My sister moved into a house in 1975 and it had a coppertone small tub Frigidaire of this same vintage in the back of the house under an overhang. It was a lesser model, and at that time I didn't think much of it. IIRC she and her then-husband didn't even attempt to use it. One day not long after they moved in, it was gone and I never inquired about it. If only I knew then what I know now, it could at least have served as a parts donor, but it likely turned into a Ford Granada instead.

Go BEN!!!!!!!!
That is a really nice Clamshell. The Energy ring looks like it saw plenty of use, so whomever owned it took good care of it.

Rare machine indeed with the Suds Saver
I just love those little square buttons! Each has ONE Function! Now those are buttons, not these flat multi-menu electro things we have today! I hate drilling down to sub-menus !
One Button - One Function !

Ben, I have never seen a separate switch for Suds-return on a Frigidaire before--and a double push button, no less. Extraordinary! Usually, the function is listed on the Wash Temp Knob. Even better, if that's a bit of return lint on the suds hose in the first pic, chances are they used it; good for them.
The Aztec Copper looks like bronze-- just delicious!
You are so meticulous, precise, and exacting, that GEM of a GM couldn't have fallen into better hands.
Congratulations, Ben. I am blue with envy.

Stunning, just stunning. Never seen one like that ever. Congratulations Ben!
Beautiful!
Congrats! Having seen a similar model in person, it never occurred to me that these “clamshell” panels actually opened and closed! How cool!
