FRIGIDAIRE WO-65 in Hartford - FREE

[Unimatic1140]

There is a 1950-1951 WO-65 in Hartford up for grabs, go for it guys and gals.

Now how do I put this gently, in the past we have had some busy-bodies email owners of machines like this who are not really interested in the machine, so if you are not interested or not 100% serious about getting this machine please DO NOT email the owner of this machine.

Seems like the best things are free. Wish it was closer! Looks like someone replaced the pulsator at some point, as well as upper circulator column with a 1956-7 3-Ring.

As I've said many times before, remember what happen to the ABC. GET AFTER IT AND SAVE THIS ONE! It's a shame, too, that people are bullsh**ting Craigslist sellers with emails when they aren't interested in the first place.

Yes, Westy

You're right about the agitator switch. That is THE machine of my infancy and early childhood, the one which Geraldine--Mom--held me up to watch when I was one, two, and three. It has no lid switch and a double rinse with no overflow and it whips through the cycles and it is an absolute ball to see in operation. My dad bought it before I was born and it cost 350 dollars which was a fortune then for working people.

Thinking out loud for all to see:
not gonna e-mail....someone wants it more than me
love to show it to my Mom, sisters and brothers
can't find a Fridgi in Bflo to save my soul
prefer an overflow rinse
can't get away
machine that started it all--1st of my life
WOULD PAY TO HAVE SOMEONE GET IT FOR ME
ANY TAKERS

Detergent column replaced with one from '57------looks good.
Tub has usual mineral stain issues---no problem.
Pulsator does not look torn.

Now,---------------I wonder what shape the damn mechanism is in. Hopefully no signs of puking oil out of the vent. And, OY, the torque spring.

Oh well, might just be in perfect shape.
Hope someone snatches it!

GOT IT

Just made the arrangements with her on the phone and picking it up tonight .........

Yay Greg!

Congratulations! Should be a fun addition to your collection.
Now if only one would pop up around here!

Congrats Greg. Awaiting the total condition of the patient.

Glad you got it, Greg! It's worth picking up for the pulsator alone, even if it didn't work.

Yippee Gregory !!! A Freebee to a generous heart. How sweet

For nearly 60 years old, that cabinet is pretty youthful.

Here's how the rinsing goes:
The fill starts before all of the wash water hasl drained from outer tub
Pulsator starts before tub is full
the rinse is barely a minute
really short spin, lots of water left in outer tub
REPEAT, only the second rinse is longer and the DRY fully empties the outer tub.

For non-Frigidaire folks: the undrained water pumps out during pulsation.

If I have any of this wrong, will someone please enlighten. Remember, i was only three.

Hi Greg, YAY, that is great Greg, when you have a chance let us know what condition it's in.

 

[mayken4now]
