Frigidaire Custom Imperial
I remember a neighbor of mine had one of those Frigidaire dishwashers. Thought it was so KEWL with the pushbuttons and light. When you have some time, can you take a close-up of the control panel and the interior? Would love to stroll back down 'memory lane'.
Thanks so much!

Holy cow!!!
You Georgia boys rock! What a haul! Unbelievable! So many Frigidaires...and Pulsamatics, yet! And what a great story, too. Thank you for sharing your fun through the pictures and posting them when you were so exhausted. (But it's a "good" tired, huh?...ha) Steve, my thoughts and prayers with you and Rhinnie.

All I can say is OMG! What a rush! A huge congrads!
Great find! I hope you had a liftgate on that truck,that load looks like a lot of ramp work.
Frigidaires were made in Dayton Ohio,from I believe the beginning,up til the WCI buyout.

You are certainly invited to my next little wash-in------maybe by November I can figure out a Saturday to pull it off.
Today I cleaned the two Unimatics I brought home. They really shine. Surprisingly, the WL-60 has almost no rust anywhere---just a little near the drain inside the water container---an easy fix with POR-15. The WO-65-2 has a spot the size of a pencil eraser on one of the little riblets at the bottom of the tub---also an easy fix. Both machines are VERY clean underneath with both mechanisms showing no sign of oil or water leaks.
In spite of my best efforts to ward off any hitchhikers yesterday, as I was peering under the WO-65-2 a Black Widow spider came out, trotting at full speed. A quick squish later and I was re-armed with more bug spray! I think I'll wait a while to make sure everything is dead this time!
I'll need to change the oil and replace the power cords, etc. before I can test them---so I'll keep you posted----if they don't need anything major we can have a Frigidaire wash-in soon!

No wonder when you were here you told me to ask Don Gray of Gray's Maytag here in Pensacola, who the Frigidaire dealer used to be in town. And hook up with him. Well I have not yet, but will!

Congratulations to all of you for your hard work. It must have been something to see all those treasures at once. A lot of cleanup work but so worth it in the end. The nest of Frigidaires alone is a terrific achievement, but to uncover a Norge Timeline AND a Philco Automagic is beyond amazing.
We are all keeping good thoughts for Rhinnie.....

Thanks for sharing those neat pictures Peter. What a haul. It is almost like a dream that comes true. Gives hope that there are other places out there like this where time has just stood still. Again thanks for sharing. Relax and get some rest, I am sure that you all need it. Terry

Thanks for the factoid Kenny!
An amazing haul, boys; congratulations! I don't recall seeing a '61 Frigidaire washer before. And AGAIN, it has a different console than the '60 or the '62. That GM design team must have been working overtime.
Toggle, Frigidaire was made in Dayton, OH. Its really not that they are rare in the North, its that they are rare period, just like any other washer from the 1950's. The NY metropolitan area used to be BIG Frigidaire country. I can remember plenty of Frigidaire coin-op self-serv laundries when I was a kid there. I can remember some old Frigidaire laundry signs at laundromats in the early 80's in Manhattan where the machines were replaced, but the signs were still there.
