GOING TO THEIR NEW HOME!!!

[rollermatic]

i always did love frigidaire's

shade of coppertone! we had that set when I was a kid, only in the custom supreme models!

 

[rollermatic]

here we are

appliances all over the driveway!

and I was fascinated with that power lift that mike had! I was wondering how we were going to get the heavier one's in the truck! I can't lift nearly as much as I could when I started collecting in 2009!

 

[rollermatic]

gotta go to work

will finish this post tonite, a few more pics to come!

and remember, I've got more to get rid of! anyone want something, let me know. I've got way too many kitchenaids! and I'm in a very generous mood! I just want them to get good homes where they will not be thrown away or parted out!

Peter, glad they went to such a worthy individual.  also glad to know Mike is alive,  well, and ok.  He's not posted here in almost 2 years.

finishing up here

here's mike getting the Frigidaire dryer on the power lift whatever it's called.

and I was wrong before, we had the custom imperial models, there was no custom supreme, can't believe I forgot my Frigidaire model numbers! see what happens when you stop collecting! there was custom, custom deluxe, and custom imperial if my memory is correct!

 

[rollermatic]

everything got wrapped

in shrink wrap! these appliances never had it so good!

 

[rollermatic]

and

up the steps they go! how easy that is! good thing I didn't know about that when I was out making road trips! I would have bought one for sure!

 

[rollermatic]

that is

so much fun to watch!

 

[rollermatic]

mike looks

happy to get some new toys! and I'm happy to see them go to a good home where they will be appreciated.

the more I get rid of the less I will have and maybe I will take more of an interest in the remaining one's in my collection. I collected too much and it became overwhelming so I said "screw it all" and gave up!

 

[rollermatic]

now that's a truckload of goodies!

fill it to the rim!

hope you had a safe trip back mike, hope you get lots of help from members here when you dig into that rollermatic washer! they can be a real bear to work on but outside of nuts and bolts that won't budge the mechanism itself is pretty simple and as said the bearings on that one sound great. I'm sure you can coat that tub with something or maybe even find a new tub. I may have parts later on down the road. you may need a bellows, maybe not. out of the 4 or 5 I tore down only one needed a new bellows!

enjoy them and thanks again for the cash! appreciate it! good luck!!!

and to everyone else, I still have a spin tube that may be available, right now it's promised to a member, I have a Frigidaire slant top dishwasher I may or may not sell, I have a maytag top load washer from the 70's, some kitchanid dishwashers of the 17 series that may or may not run, a sears Kenmore wringer washer, a maytag dishwasher from the 70's, and a Frigidaire front load dishwasher in coppertone from the 60's and one in white from the 70's. some are free, some are modestly priced, all need a loving home!

I will do a post later showing them all in pics when I get time this fall or winter. too busy now!

thanks to all!

What a haul!  They couldn't be going to a better home, we've all seen the pictures and videos of Mike's machines and you can bet he'll have these beauties running and polished up in short order.

 

The Escalera is one of the best investments, I'd be lost without it here in basement country.

Escalera.

I'll start a new thread regarding the Escalera Staircat. I never knew such a thing existed until I saw a service tech using it a few years ago. When he left the business, I bought it from him.

Best Tool Ever!

Pete, happy to hear you found good homes for most of your machines.

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Mike when he was so close by.
