Congratulations on the incredible finds!
It would be sort of a simultaneous dream and nightmare scenario for me though. Incredible potential for saving and restoring some classic machines, but a lot of time and labor (not to mention parts) perhaps necessary to do it.
Have fun.
I'm curious what your plans are for the machines. Where will they ultimately be on display? Is there space at your home? Do you plan to sell or "e-bay" any of them?
Best wishes

We will have to see as time goes on. We each know which ones we want as keepers, and then the rest will be parts donors and fixer-uppers. What is left over will probably end up on eBay. Don't hold your breaths -- 2 of us have more than fulltime jobs, so it will be a while before there is much movement on the restoration of the bunch.
Thanks Robert / Unimatic.
SO ODD. I don't remember more than one Frigidaire product in this area, and that was a Frigidaire 1-18 washer in a summer home in Miller place (Suffolk County) L.I.
I did see Frigidaire brand in Rehoboth Beach, DE and Winston-Salem, NC. so I ASSUMED it was more southern.
Interestingly people's homes where I grew up (in a small area "suburb" outside of Flushing, Queens) came with a lot of WP. When those died lots of Sears KM came in. A spattering of Maytags and GE were around as well.
My earliest recollection of laundromats is mostly F/L wascomats and Philco-Bendix.

Very nice finds! My great aunt had that RCA Whirlpool timeline washer with suds saver, from about 1958. Sadly a very shortlived design, but very longlived washer. It replaced her Westinghouse Laundromat, though she had the Laundromat dryer through the entire run of this washer. Both were still working when she passed in 1993.
