Got my first washer and dryer pair

[spats]

Last night I visited Trainguy's place and had a great time.

As soon as I get a place to put these, I will be taking these. Not only my first vintage washer/dryer pair, but my first washer/dryer pair period (which I'll be using when I get my own place now.)

A 1978 Frigidaire Custom Imperial set with lighted consoles

Congratulations! Up-and-down washing is fun to watch!

 

[frigilux]

Wow, that's quite a score, Spats. Not everyone gets a TOL GM-era Frigidaire as their very first set. Congrats!

 

[panthera]

all the best

That is going to be great fun for you - I am happy for you.

 

[appnut]

Oh my!! Congratulations.

Congrads! Those are really nice, quite a rare find as nice as they are and in a set!

Watch out Spats, any more collecting and you may have to do the Pittsburgh wash in! Oh, I like the pink panther on the insulation above the washer too.

Congrats! You have my dream machine! I love them! I can't wait to find a set of my own (even though its looking quiet grim)

Post some more pics!!! Again congrats!!

 

[hoover1060]

yes congrats!

I love 1-18's too, awesome machines!

 

[whirlcool]

And do you have a photo of the control panel lights turned on?

 

[maytagbear]

You lucky so-and-so!

Of all the GM Frigidaire's, the 1-18s are #2 on my list, the Rollermatics are #1.

You are going to have a great time with these machines. The dryer is superb. The opening and the lint filter make it so very easy to use.

Congrats... Now of course, we have to see some video.

 

[spats]

Thanks everyone

These are still at Trainguy's place until I am able to take them. So I can't get any more pics or actual videos for a short while. But as soon as I can

 

[mayken4now]

Mike,

I'm so glad that you got to visit. I never let anybody go home empty handed. We'll continue to add to your collection. Are you ready for Saturday's trip?

Rich

 

[spats]

Definitely ready for Saturday

Jet-Action 1-18 washer dryers

I just found a WC6 and DE5 matching set in Avacado green!Mint condition (except for the agitator cones being worn and broken)at a used appliance store neer by and they GAVE them to me!All I need to do is replace the Jet Cone Agitator.Anybody here have one to spair???

 

[trainguy]

Better Get Your Storage Unit Soon

I just got a call about a few Kenmore pieces.

 

[mcmodern]

You'll love 'em

My '79 1-18 is also both my collection and user. At 27 years old, it's the best washer I've ever owned and, of course, at least one GM Frigidaire should be in any collection! I knew older, 40-60's washers were prized by collectors, but it wasn't until I found this site I realized the 1-18s are very popluar too!

Devise something to defeat the safety switch, you'll be watching the JetCone like TV.

[peterh770]

That is THE 1-18 set to have! Congrats!

 

[jasonl]

THE set?

I thought the one with the motorized dial is THE set.

And what's happening Saturday? KENMORES you say? OMG!

 

[spats]

Kenmores

Jason -

Looks like I might be checking out some Kenmores, yuppers

My mom had a harvest gold washer very much like that one, spats/Mike, but it was a 1972 model. The best washer she ever had, and I loved it! She didn't have the dryer, because she's a clothes line gal to this day.

Hope you enjoy your new washer as much as my mom enjoyed hers!!
