Frigidaire Treasures galore.....

[sharples]

Evening my appliance buddies, well i haven't had much luck with vintage washers/dryer recently until i saw an auction add in my local paper. It said old appliances, well this could mean a million different things but since it had listings for tons of scrap metal i knew i had to go (TIP: always a good sign of a hoarder!!!). So i took a personal day and low and behold, (not one of my million wasted wild goose chases) i caught these beauties!!! Yay, 3 control tower washers, 1 control tower dryer and 2 really old frigidaire washers...more pictures to come tomorrow.

another pic from the other side,,,

You only see 5 in this picture but the sixth washer is in the barn...yet to be bought (when this picture was taken, i got it trust me), but i got them all home about a second ago. Oh and with that lot i got an old thermador wall oven, i thought it was cute. It seems unusually small so i think it might have been made for a travel trailer???

Pic's

They look a lot more battered then they really are...i think i good scrub will make them look like a million bucks... BTW they weren't originally stored outside, they were in a dilapidated old car shed. Go figure.

Hot-diggity dawg!!  You hit the motherload!!!  I for one, cannot express my joy and gratituide you saved this from the clutches of the scrappers and crusher!!!  Just the thought of that happening makes me nauseated!!!  Graham you da man!!

 

[toploader55]

OMG

You did hit the Motherload !!!

 

[swestoyz]

Um, wow?

Not one, not two, not three, but SIX pre '59 Frigidaire washers? You'd better go buy a lotto ticket!

Are any of the '57 Control Towers Pulsamatics? The '57 in the second photo, in the forefront, could go either way. I can't tell which timer glass it has.

I hope they all can be restored, or at worst,(?) harvested for parts.

I am so happy for you! With porcelain cabinets, those will clean up super easy.

 

[turquoisedude]

A real treasure trove!!  What a great find!   I can't believe there's a control tower set there!! 

I'll come down and scrub them if you need the help!  LOL

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

I would love to see one of those Control Tower machines fully restored in model condition, too!

Pin 'em up when you get done! Great find, there...

FRIGIDARE WASHER FIND

Good haul Graham, that TD wall oven was thier standard size oven, in fact it was thier only size wall oven. It would be from the early to mid 1950s. Looks like a lot of fun I will talk to you soon.
