Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

i love this old kenmore dryer

it looks so plump!

and i love the controls on the sides! it could be cleaned up and be absolutely beautiful again!

as i said in my first post

"almost" the calico kitty followed me everywhere and helped me pick out the dishwashers i bought!

matt's boxer

is a very sweet dog named "royal" and he also helped me pick out the dishwashers i ended up bringing home. he thumped his little stub of a tail against the one's he liked and peed on the one's he didn't!

"almost"

checking out a disassembled frigidaire 1-18 washer in beautiful coppertone! i loved coppertone! these new appliance colors can't hold a candle to coppertone, avacado, and harvest gold!

i remember that

control panel well! i used to go to department stores when i was a teen and spend hours browsing at washers and dishwashers!

"almost" has found something more interesting in that bucket to check out.

another kitchenaid

this one definately a later model.

look at all those buttons! "you've come a long way baby"

this one i think

is a 21 model, correct me if i'm wrong here.

don't worry about a bottom panel, he has a ton of em!

a couple of friendly washers

sitting side by side here!

the one on the left is a speed queen and the one on the right matt will have to describe. it's a european something or other and is a combination washer/dryer i believe he said.

i was sort of interested in the speed queen but i have a frigidaire front loader that i like already plus a whirlpool newer model front loader that i got at lowes as a scratch n dent for 200 bucks that i hate! and with that beautiful frigidaire jet action rollermatic going home with me, well, there was simply no room in my heart (or my house) for any other!

i know i will probably bore everyone

with my questions concerning this machine but please humor me on this! i know very little about them and want to do everything i can to keep her running well! i have read all the old posts on "rollermatics" and the info i have gotten already is invaluable!

but i know i will have future questions for you frigidaire guys and really appreciate your helpful responses!

that is one beautiful washer!

i just love that jet cone pulsator! and that blue color brings back all those memories of me in the basement watching it go up and down (that didn't come out right, did it)

for all the stove guys

"everythingold" has a boat load of stoves too! from newer models to that beautifully restored old vintage red stove in the extreme background of this pic.

it's hiding behind that equally beautiful frigidaire dryer. is that a custom imperial, i think it is but could be mistaken.

i should have gotten more pics of that red stove though, it is a real honey!

that is a "shredmore" transmission and agitator

isn't it!?

and an upside down 1-18 in the background.

i remember noticing the belt and was surprised that a rollermatic transmission had a belt drive. then i read all those old frigidaire posts and learned a lot about the 1-18 as well as the rollermatic!

5-19-2009-00-50-29--soberleaf.jpg
 
this back room was full of kitchenaids

double stacked! i was in heaven!

matt has a bunch of microwaves too, one in particular was very interesting, an amana radar range! don't think i got a pic of it though, i wasn't thinkin "microwaves" with all those kitchenaids around!

5-19-2009-00-55-41--soberleaf.jpg
 
this one i almost brought home

matt told me to take it as a parts machine but i decided i had enough although i do love those panels. i may offer to buy those panels from him at a later date if he still has em around!

it's my favorite model, a kds 17-a superba. but i have 4 of these now and if someone else wants a superba this one would be quite stunning!

need a door for a 16 imperial?

there's that kelvinator i brought home in the background. i have ordered a new water seal for it off the web. they are still quite easy to find for those d&m machines, including the kenmore's like my roto rack i picked up recently in tenn.

5-19-2009-01-04-3--soberleaf.jpg
 
here's that wonderful 1-18

frigidaire i think matt said is sold already. i could be wrong though.

5-19-2009-01-08-29--soberleaf.jpg
 
there's that

pulsator agitator i remember so well from the 70's! it always intrigued me but my favorite was the 60's jet cone!
