I want it so bad, but that is sort of out of my price range.

That Frigidaire...
is not such a bad deal, if it has been reconditioned... You could easily buy a machine for $100 and then wind up sinking $400 or $500 into parts and restoration... Care to guess which of my machines fit in THAT category?? LOL
Happy Holidays!!

Hi Brian
It says reconditioned. I wonder who the washer whiz is down in Schenectady!
What a gem. Time now to check out the Dexter and the Hoover. Thanks for lunch time eye candy.

Non-washer people are so funny
All Mister Dexter had to do was swing the machine around to give us s view of the front and the controls; the backside, however, looks pretty good for its age.
Gram's Hoover looks almost mint, not such a bad version of avocado either.

That Frigidaire is cheap!
If it works and doesn't leak, then the seller is probably pricing it that way for a quick sale. And yes, it can cost over and above $400.00 for a restoration, like turquoisedude said.

What the heck
I think I am gonna contact the seller and see what the deal is. It seems like a very nice washer, and I would love to see and inside shot if they have one. Can anyone put a specific model that this would be? I am thinking a WO 65-2, but I am very novice to these yet.
Thanks everyone,
Brian

personally i would try to
find out what "reconditioned" means. i'm thinking new bearings, pump seal, tub seal, water and oil bellows. or he could just have simply cleaned it up a bit and slapped that "reconditioned" label on it.
but it does look nice although def out of my league right now, i have to recover from my 2009 spending spree on appliances! i am now "appliance cash poor".
hope someone here grabs it and has a ball with it!

Well I have some good news everyone!
I am the proud owner the Frigidaire Unimatic WO-65! When I spoke to the guy, he was very nice and up front with me. His daughter actually posted the Ad, but he said that he went over it and whatnot, not what he would call "reconditioned". He picked it up from an older gentleman and made him an offer for it. The older gentleman said it works fine and completes a cycle with no problems. He said he has no problem letting it go for $200. So basically I offered him the $200 and it's mine! He will hold it for me as I gave him my name and number and we will be scheduling a date for me to pick it up. to see it and see it washing in person. Seems like an awesome washer.
Which style agitator does anyone think is on it? I was trying to compare it to one I have seen here.

for 200 bucks
sounds great! that other price seemed a bit steep to me, not clarifying what "reconditioned" meant. but for 200 even if it does later need some work there are parts still floating around, i have found lots myself for my rollermatics. and there are lots of guys here who have experience with these old frigidaires who can help you if needed!
congrats on a great find!!! tons of pics please when you get it!!!

Great Christmas Present
I hope it's perfect, Brian
The pulsator should look something or exactly like this.

What's cool about this model is that it shoots water out
arranged around the top of the column. At full water level, they squirt very nicely and orderly.

Be careful
When I saw my WO-65 on ebai, the seller said it was perfect, almost mint in box, almost never used, blah, blah, blah.
So new that maybe it would come with a box of Tide in it and with the original crating LOL.
What I received was what you can see on the thread I created.
...lots of work to do.
Anyway, no matter about the price, a Frigidaire IS a Frigidaire and worth every cent.

Nice !
I had just found that ad last week and for some reason I put off getting in touch with the seller.
Looks like my search for one continues !
I am happy that someone from this forum got it - and that's really awesome that he was willing to drop his price for you.
Please post some pics when you get her home!

Some problems though 
The timer does not advance and only in certain time intervals does it stop filling and agitate. For example, if I leave it on 8 or 10 minutes in the wash section, it will not stop filling. If I move it to 6, it will start to agitate. Other times I will need to bring it to the agitate section of rinse, and then it will work to agitate at the 6 minute mark on the wash cycle. In either case, I need to manually advance the time through the cycles. I have the double-rinse timer.
Also it either fills hot or it fills cold, but it will not fill warm like the switch shows. It leaks a bit, but I am not sure if that was due to me not stopping the fill soon enough when it reached the opening in the tub to drain out. Since the pump was not running yet, I am wondering if it overfilled internally as a lot of water pumped out when it began to agitate. Since then it did not seem to dump more water on the floor that I could tell.
From what I got so far, it says Model WO-65, but I forgot to snap a pic and the other ones I had did not come out. I will post some soon.
Thanks,
Brian
