In 2019, I'm hoping to reunite a couple of sets... I really, really miss my 59 Frigidaire dryer and the motor on the 57 GE Clothes Conditioning dryer just failed on me. Both washers are still in service and anxiously awaiting their mates...

A Frigidaire 1-18 set. Preferably in Poppy or White. Speed Queen set with the banging solenoids as it switches from agitate to spin. Had to give up my A412 when I moved as my SO already had a washer and dryer in the house and moving what I did across country was NOT cheap
Norge!
I would have to say a Norge TimeLine washer with matching dryer would be my dream laundry team...

I’m pretty happy with my current, now 20 year old, Whirlpool washer and dryer but if I could have anything I would really like a gas version of my current dryer and a washer that has a hot wash warm rinse cycle. I also desperately want a Maytag wringer washer, I plan on keeping my eyes pealed for one this year.
Hmm, dream machines
any 50's Frigidaire, 60's Norge when they first switched to perforated tub, banging solenoid Speed Queen solid tub with a stainless steel tub, anyone's reliable Washer-Dryer combo machine, the list goes on and on. 60's Philco with the wobble plate, rare as hen's teeth.

Blackstone Dryers
About a dozen years ago, I sold 2 Blackstone dryers from our store, matching models for the 350 washer. One gas, one electric. They were new-in-box.
Somewhere in the archives are pictures of this discovery.
I wonder where they are now?

house man. Example; Agadore Sparticus from the Bird Cage movie. My spouse lets me choose appliances, and vehicles. One of us is more book smart, one more mechanically inclined. He did help me replace our dryer drum rollers, idler, and belt last month. I needed help supporting the drum up higher so I could route the belt onto the motor pulley.

Blackstone [ New ] Gas Dryer
Hi Fred, it is here in the museum waiting to be hooked up and used some day, Jon C got the electric one and I do not know where it is now.
Come visit, John L.

In regards to dryers, do spin dryers count?

Even though they weren't great performers, the industrial design of those Avocado Westinghouses was absolutely spectacular. Look at those control panels alone. And even that "Weigh-to-Save" lid was a stroke of marketing genius. I would have found that feature very handy. And I always loved Westy's "Jupiter-2" FS dispenser.
But those control panels...

Re Westinghouse top loaders
???? Why would you say they were not great performers, I think they were almost as good as a Norge or a Blackstone in washing ability, the main problem was the stupid designer put the pump on top of the motor so if it leaked it ruined the motor, other than that they washed like mad!
