My Multimatic washer finds it's other half at age 50!

[philr]

The WDR-64 is the washer I got from Jon C. who got it from John L. for me a year ago.

 

And yesterday, just after I left Paul at his home, I got an email from him with an interesting find, a DDF-64 dryer that matches it!

I had to get it today!

 

I think they make a nice couple!

Super

You're on quite a roll, Phil. Will you get another Riviera this weekend?

 

[philr]

I don't think so! I did accumulate so much stuff that I had to store my cars in a friend's garage for the winter... I think next spring, I'll need to rent some space!

 

[foraloysius]

What a great find! It looks like they have always been together!

 

[turquoisedude]

A match made in ....Albany! LOL

Wow, Phil, it really does look great - sorry I couldn't be out on the hunt with you yesterday but I just had a good feeling about this one!

Could we get some interior shots please?

Congratulations Phil

Wow They look great together and best of all its a Filterater and a Suds-saver washer it doesn't get much better than this unless they were both Sunny Yellow, LOL.

I really hated to sell that washer but I am really glad it is in your hands and that you put the effort into fixing it.

Those Filterater dryers are the perfect way to dry clothing in this cold winter weather, right now it is 9 degrees F.

That is my favorite series of Frigidaire Laundry.

The styling is so "futuristic" to me.

Congratulations on such a Beautiful Pair.

Good job, Phil!  You have a beautiful set there.  I've never used one of the later Filtrator models, I'll be curious to see what you think.

 

Renting more space for storage is one of the perils (or joys?) of collecting major appliances, welcome to the club!

 

[jetaction]

Stunning

What a great story to start my Friday, Congratulations Phil!

 

[swestoyz]

Woot Woot - what an awesome find Phil! Some would say you're rolling on the gravy train with biscuit wheels!

Was that

the one listed on CL for $30.00 in Delmar, NY? I gave some thought to contacting them about it. Glad to see someone got it to go with a matching washer.

 

[philr]

Ken, it's that one.
They also have a Custom Imperial double wall oven for sale but i didn't buy it as I already have one like it and I had only $45 in US funds on me! I did buy their Nutone vent hood with the remaining money! Good thing I programmed the GPS to avoid tolls as I wouldn't have been able to pay for one on my way back! The seller's son was concerned about tolls when he saw I spent all the money I had on me but I told him I should be fine and I was!

Greg, I haven't even plugged the dryer yet, but I have a 1965 Filtrator (from John) that I use a lot along with your former 1965 washer. Compared to the pre-1961 Filtrators, these are easier to clean (they have a regular non-perforated drum and they use a door-mounted lint filter like the vented models. Their condenser rarely needs to be cleaned (I removed mine a few times to clean it and I never had to as it was already clean! The one in tha 1964 dryer will need t be cleaned a bit but it's not even as dirty as my 1957 is after drying a load of clothes!

Congratulations

Stunning graphics design on that set!

 

[rp2813]

That is one of the most attractive designs I've seen on a Frigidaire set.  As others have said, it's like they've always been together.

 

Very nice score.  I'm sure you are thrilled to have completed the set!

 

[philr]

Ralph, you are right, I am thrilled!

3 out of my 6 sets didn't come together! I felt I'd have a hard time getting a matching dryer for that washer but it happened within a year and Paul found it for me! I scan the local and nearby Craigslist ads almost, everyday and would probably have found it anyway now but it's great to have someone around who cares about what you're searching for like Paul does!

I reall enjoy this hobby!

 

[appnut]

Phil, I'm all tingly. They are beautiful together.

 

[joelippard]

That's a beautiful pair.  Congratulations to you!
