Right out of Clockwork Orange or 2001, A Space Odyssey--it l

Do you or Mikey or your other buddies know what kind of agitator it has. Wouldn't it be so wild if it has a pulsator. Once thought I saw a Frigidaire Wringer but the club convinced me it was a dream.

How cool and unusual, a Frigi TT, something you'd expect to find down-under.

Nice. Thanks.

I am a bit skeptical.....

There was a brand of twin tub called, if I remember correctly, "Fridgette," not Fridgidaire.

However, this may indeed be a true Frigidaire. If so, it would be amazing.

However, I wouldn't lay my last quid on it without additional information.

I'm thinking Fridgette...

This is a rebadged Toshiba model, It's possible that it's a Frigidaire, but it's no real thing. Cool none the less, but I'd wager on a pulsator driven Japanese machine there. The Toshiba twin-tubs were very unique though, water hungry though.

Same here

I`m thinking its a Panasonic / Sanyo / Hitachi clone with semi auto pulsator action!!!

Now if this original Frigidaire Twinny came up, boy would there be a scramble!!!

Frigidaire

1970`s, impellar action with heater and 2,800rpm spinner!

 

[chestermikeuk]

Of the top one from Ebay, impellar , no heater etc

 

[macboy91si]

Have a gander

The Toshiba in question, same thing.

I cannot resist posting the full picture

Flick-ups and "Killer Heels" indicate a 1960s washer, but as you can see from Mike's version it comes from 1970, although I think it went on a bit longer. As Mike says, very rare ....

 

[chestermikeuk]

Lol

Oh thanks Al, I was looking for that pic and couldnt find it anywhere in the folder!!!, Has anyone ever seen / used any of these machines??

Frigidaire Master, Indeed

What a treat. Great fun we'd have clicking our killer workboot heels and flicking our Yuletide hairdos. Wonderful fun and frolicking.

Kinda knew it would br an impeller, but one can always and only hope for a tiny three-ringer inside one of these old twinnies, yes.

Thank You

I'm currently the proud owner of the little Toshiba in question and I must say, its a lot of fun! I wish I could use it inside, but the spin tub gasket has come undone from the bottom of the tub and it leaks water all over the place. Damned if I can get it to stay on. Its nearly impossible just to get at it!

And without a doubt, the machine is an epic water hog. The figidare or frigette as it were looks to pretty much be a clone of this little Toshiba.

 

[mickeyd]

Would appreciate learning

how this lilte beast is an epic water hog. Tim, Eric, Paul, etc,

Waiting patiently in my red killer heels --er workboots, and doing flick-ups ;'D

 

[mistereric]

Lets see... It fills, washes, then drains. Then it fills for a rise and actually does several minutes of overflow rinsing. If i remember correctly, it does this a few times, since it can't spin soapy water out on its own. To keep the user from having to intervene and spin the water out, it simply dilutes the soap out of the load. Takes a LOT of water to do this.

 

[mickeyd]

Eric, thanks!

Interesting. So all the magic happens in the wash tub, kinda like an infinite cooldown, and the spinner is just for spinning, not rinsing. Got it, thanks again. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of water. Good thing the tub is small. Imagine if a giant Cabrio rinsed like that ;->

Reminds me of the way Hoovers work with the automatic spray rinse. You just turn the water on and the machine will do its fill / spin / stop / sequence repeatedly till you turn the water off.
