Introducing the 1960 Frigidaire Rollermatic...

[rickr]

The cats out of the bag, so to speak, so I will post a couple videos and a few photos of this machine.

I got this machine from Greg Nunn a few years ago, as an empty shell. I tried to make up a Multimatic transmition for it out of parts, but was not successful. Steve Riley sent me a Rollermatic transmition, so I used that type of transmition instead. It was not exactly a breeze to make this conversion... Thats for sure! But this Custom Imperial is so beautiful, that I had to save it.

So a BIG thank you to Steve and Greg for helping me get this one up and running!

Sweet Jesus, Richard!

have been watching the Swirl Vs. Flex debates on another channel, and

the Frigidaire turnover sure puts that race to bed. Mahhdddone!

Splendiferous. The sheets just FLY. And your Multimatic is one of the prettiest birds on the sky.

I wish I had your talent. I am in awe.

Fingers crossed for successful Suds Water Saver recovery!

Sweet Dreams, Rich. Never expected this tonight. Thanks, Man!

Wow Rick that is an amazing transformation! That shell originally came from me, it was my 2nd Frigidaire washer after a WDA-62 that I found about six or so months earlier. It was 1996!

Congrats on a wonderful restoration.
