Looking for a Frigidaire Jet Action Washer

[quincyman]

Hi,
Keith here in South St. Petersburg Florida. I would give anything to get my hands on an early sixties Frigidaire Jet Action Washer. Never asked for one and don't have a collection, but would love to start one.
If you can help me?
Thank you.
Keith

You could start by looking at Craigslist listings for various large cities across the U.S. There is also a slight chance that you may find one near you too. Finding one of these washers takes detective work! Good Luck!

I do have a couple of '60s model Frigidaire washers with the solid tub. One is coppertone and the other is white. Both are about 67-68 vintage I think.

....1965 custom, its not a rapid dry, but I liked it- I just need more room, and I like westinghouse's better...oh its sunshine yellow

Is it in good shape and would you be willing to ship? I'll pay. Any pics?

don't give up!

it took me from 2008 thru 2011 but i now own 7 of these machines (counting the 70's 1-18 version) in various states of rebuild. 4 are done, one in the process, 2 untouched as yet.

if i ever decide to let one go i will contact you thru this site. as yet i am not ready to part with any but that could change in the future.

i will say that i found 6 of mine thru wonderful people on this site, the last, a coppertone set i located on craigslist in tenn. 3 of them were offered to me for free although i did pay for them as i didn't feel right taking them for nothing.

they are tempermental machines and i don't use any of them for a daily machine, i simply run one or two about once a month or so for fun. but i don't want to put wear and tear on any of them since parts are so hard to find (and expensive when you do).

keep lookin, you will find one!!!

Aren't we all. Good luck. They are rare but still attainable.

 

[quincyman]

Thanks all.

I really appreciate all of your help and advice. Just wondering, why are they tempermental machines?
