What caught my eye

That GE air conditioner. I've never seen one like that before. My granny had a 50's something Fedders I think it was, heat/cool unit. The front and control panel was like a 48 Desoto grill with these cool sliding controls. I was forever playing with it when I was small, moving the louvers, turning the heat on. It fascinated me.

Life is good!

New home and a great haul. What else is there? First, congrats on your new home, and then congrats on your finds. They look great but that whirlpool is really cool.

BTW, whats up with the frigidaire that you've decided to tear it down for parts?

thanks all, I am not sure what year BW sold off or when Norge went to Fedders, I want to say early 70's but that is a guess. Rocky2, well I have alot of machines and have sold off a couple but am anxious to get most or all setup in my new basement. The most recent Frigidaire I will tear down for parts whereas I have two others in great cosmetic condition but one needs some mechanical work. This most recent find is in poor cosmetic condition although the photo doesn't show it.
