The last pic appears to be taken from inside the dryer facing toward the door!

Those are fabulous.

Re: Dryer:

Glenn "DADoES" that is the rear of that Frigidaire "1-18" Dryer. The Holes on the back "Bulk-Head" are where the Heat distributes through, with the Lint Filter being in the Lower Front, of the Drum opening. I had an Avocado Matched Set that I bought in 1976 and later on sold them to a Woman Friend that needed a Washer and Dryer, after her house was burned down and they lost everything, except fortunately not their lives. I sure wish that I had another Set to sell her, so I would no doubt still have these.

Peace and Happy "1-18" Frigidaire Washing and Drying, Steve

[DADoES]

Ahh. I thought it was the front, with a lint filter in the door. My bad! Either way, it's an unusual pic!

 

[Versatronic]

This is right in my back yard

Unfortunately, these don't appeal to me a whole lot. Laundress, keep up the good work.

Snatch these machines. And hoard for someone else in the club. Trust me, you will not keep them stored very long.

Very kewl set!! Yet another Model WC washer!

Mike, I'm surprised that a machine with unusual washing action (agitator moves up and down 360 times a minute) as well as a fill circle spray fill doesn't appeal to you!!! Go to "See it Wash" and watch the 1-18 video. You'll be surprised...

 

[swestoyz]

Wow - what a steal for such a great set! I'm sure these are going to go to SOMEONE here...

 

[pdub]

I recommend that if anyone here is seriously interested in these to follow this auction and bid at the last possible second. Remember the last 1-18 set on eBay that was sniped with 10 seconds to spare. These are a great set and I hope someone gets them that would use them and cherish them forever. I do think the price will climb higher toward the end but they are worth it. Happy bidding (and no I'm not the seller!) Patrick

 

[Versatronic]

Well, listen

I'll be happy to pick these up for someone and store them in my basement until they can get up this way, which would relieve the stress of having to immediately pick them up or the expense of having them shipped. So, if someone here wants these, they can contact me and we'll work that out. I don't think I'd want to buy them on "spec", though.

So, just to be clear, if someone here wants them, they should let me know in advance and they should win the auction. Then, if it's helpful, I'll pick them up and put them in my basement until you can get here to pick them up. And I can keep them until Spring if you want me to. I have lots of basement space.

The best I can tell ya is...

"Mike, I'm surprised that a machine with unusual washing action (agitator moves up and down 360 times a minute) as well as a fill circle spray fill doesn't appeal to you!!!"

This pair may be a great washer/dryer set. I have no doubt. The thing is, I don't like wood grain controls and no lighted controls and the color doesn't do it for me (although not nearly as offensive as, say, avacado). It's not what I have in mind for my dream machines. I want the lighted controls and all that stuff. I love my versatronic. I need something that really appeals to me in a big way to move my versatronic dryer out and put another pair in my laundry room. I desperately want a super cool vintage washer, but I just want to hold out for something that will make me melt every time I see it.

Mike, this is a great thing for you to do. We members need to work together more often to save these classics. Thanks for being a "team" player!

Ok I'm Game for this......

If either of you guys can store it for me, I'll try for it. I'm going to get a new home in the spring and I could plan a trip to get them. I might get my dad to come with me on a trip. It would be awsome to have this set for my new home.

[Versatronic]

Go for it

Joe, I'm not sure who the othe guy is that you're talking about, but if you win the auction, I can do that for you, no problem. Good luck.

 

[Versatronic]

Holy Crap!

I just watched the 1-18 videos. Man, that Jet Cone really moves. And the spin cycle looks like it's in fast forward. I can see why people like it. Is this washer louder than Sam Kinison? I mean, when he was living?

 

[appnut]

Uh oh, an emerging "I'm hooked on Frigidaire" fan. Mike, glad you could see what Frigidaire devotees here appreciate.

 

[pdub]

Look out!

These are starting to be bid up
and there is still 4 days to go.
Whoever wants them better follow
this auction to the last second.

What a nice Christmas present these
will make. Good Luck - Patrick

 

[jamman_98]

Unfortunately I'm out

Don't think I'll be able to bid on this set now. Budget is tight unfortuntaly. Thanks for the offer to store for me versatronic. Just not in the cards this time.

Thanks
