who has a 1950-1951 frigidaire washer here
**GASP!!!** I just noticed, there is a non Frigidaire in the Frigidaire Gallery??? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!?!?!
Double Gasp!
There are two non-Frigidaires in that lineup!
Those Control Towers deserve to be together - the whole line looks beautiful!
More Pictures, More pictures!

I got a book for one on ebay and wanna see one
How many Frigidaire washers do you have, Robert? I noticed the '58 and the very early ('49-50?) machines weren't in the picture. The '57s are sleek and unique, but my heart belongs to that gorgeous turquoise '58, pitter-pat...

I love how the first machine is on--full of water and pulsat
that very machine was my mother's second Frigidaire
Why are there virtually no Frigidaires whatsoever in western New York, and what does one have to do in order to get one?

Great pixs Robert! Love your collection and the basement! The 57's look great together.
I'll have some pixs of my 57's when I get the water valve resealed. Am going to try some plumbers sealer this time,and will try to get to it this weekend. If this doesn't work, will prolly switch out the valve with something else. Still have to have a warm wash and rinse though. <:

Hi Robert. Frigidaire Row looks great. Your machines are in pristine condition. A sight to behold.

Well thanks everyone for such nice comments. Yes I’ve been doing some rearranging to the machines downstairs. I wanted to get the Franklin/Wizard (the pig) out of storage and hooked up but in a very non-prominent location, so I moved my three “Ugly Ducklings” machines to the back corner where the two Control Towers used to be set up. I moved the ’58 Turquoise set near my ’57 Pink Lady Kenmore set, I like the pink and turquoise sets near each other. I’ll take more pictures soon.
**GASP!!!** I just noticed, there is a non Frigidaire in the Frigidaire Gallery??? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!?!?!
Hi Jamie, yes my old “Frigidaire Gallery” is now becoming the “South Gallery”. The machines you see starting from the far wall are:
1959 Philco-Bendix Duomatic
1952 Frigidaire WO-65-2
1952 Frigidaire TR-60 Filtrator
1955 Frigidaire Imperial Unimatic WV-65
1957 Frigidaire Imperial Unimatic WI-57 Control Tower
1957 Frigidaire Imperial Pulsamatic WD-57 Control Tower
1949 Youngstown Jet-Tower Dishwasher
and on the far wall which is not shown in the pictures above is the 1955 Frigidaire Pulsamatic, then the drama-filled but butt-ugly machines are on off in their own corner.
GORGEOUS as ever!!! Alex has been bugging me about when he can come see your collection, once I have saved up a little money for a plane ticket, you should have a wash-in! lol!
“Alex has been bugging you”, LOL are you sure it’s not the other way around mister. Jamie you and Alex are welcome anytime, Neal and I would to see both of you. And I’ll try and arrange a wash in for when you are coming.
More Pictures, More pictures!
I’m working on it

Hi Eugene, well lets see for Frigidaire washers I have:
1 1947
1 1952
2 1955 (one Unimatic one Pulsamatic)
2 1957 (one Unimatic one Pulsamatic)
1 1958
And 1 “Super-Unimatic" but that machine really doesn’t count.
Why are there virtually no Frigidaires whatsoever in western New York, and what does one have to do in order to get one?
Hi Mike, because they are rare everywhere now! They are there, but it’s a needle in a haystack. I am very fortunate to have the machines I have now.
I notice the '47 is not down at the end anymore. It it now in a more prominent location?
Hi Steve, yes I put all of the “First’s” together next to each other. So the 1947 Frigidaire is next to the 1947 GE which is next to the 1949 ABC-o-Matic which is next to the 1949 Maytag AMP.
Oh pleezee, It's just a pulsamatic!, Bottom of the Line!
WHAT OOOOH the NERVE, you are in big trouble Mister, you better watch your step, or one twitch of my little Nose (OK maybe it’s not that little) and you find yourself suddenly sitting there at work wearing a Mr. Bubble Gum Ensemble. I can’t wait to see the expression of Maureen’s face.

Hi Buster Brown
The '47 GE
The ABC-O-Matic
and now it's tricky: either the Timeline Norge, or the '55 Pulsamatic
"Your answer please"
I'm going to go with the Timeline as the third Ugly Duckling

1. Lift chrome arm on can opener,
2. Insert can under cutting blade,
3. Push down hard on chrome arm and can opener will start,
4. Once cutting blade has gone around the entire can, lift chrome arm to stop can opener
5. Pour contents of can into a turquoise pyrex bowl.
6. Enjoy your bowl of worms with a nice cola.

YEAH, BUT
didn't I get even one of them?
I'm changing the third answer after I looked at your photos. The 55 Pulsamatic stands alone with some rust on his right flank. Is he therefore an Ugly Duckling?
And can I give my worms back for a nice can of Franco American Spaghetti----mmmmm

thanks , do you know who you've got stuck in my head now
What with your bowl of worms and a nice cola .
And your precise surgical diction and tone..............
Hanibal Lector......I ate her liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
I'm laughing but amazed at the power of words to suggest such things as Dr. Lector talking to Clarice. "I have to go now Clarice, I'm having a friend for lunch."
Yesterday, Robert Vegomatic talked about seeing more of your dark side. How exciting.

How 'bout a clue, Buckeroo!!???
Does it have the same name as a snack, and a jet stream shooting up from the sump, and is very large and ungainly?

Here they are!
Now remember, everyone's opinon on what is pretty and what is shall we say "less than beautiful" is different, but here is what I think are my three least appealing machines (looks wise) in the basement. Granted looks are skin deep, I just adore every one of these machines as each one has more drama than the next!
