Jim (Fridgiman) was contacted recently by a vendor (who just recently posted on here) that he had a supply of old parts. So Jim generously invited me to accompany him to Aliquippa PA for the hunt........to Michaels Appliance 345 Franklin Ave, Aliquippa PA 15001-3753 phone contact: Mark @ 724-378-7002
It had LOTS and LOTS of mostly Frigidaire parts: washer/dryer/dishwasher/range/refrigerator with a smattering of Tappan, Maytag,Easy and Philco Bendix here and there.....we had a BLAST and got LOTS of great parts:!!!!!!!
Also some of our first finds were repair manuals and literature and HOOVER items. I picked up the HOOVER stuff for my good friend and HOOVER collector Tom Anderson of N. Canton Ohio and former memeber of the VCCA
There still are a ton of parts in this place; mostly all new in the box. Two of the items I bought were a brand new 1-18 washer Top, and a brand new 1-18 dryer backing plenum, complete with new felt and new rollers.....
The man in charge of the parts is named Mark, and a very nice person to talk and deal with. This is just one of many timers we bought and there are dozens of them left there.......this is for a 1-18. Mark has most of the items inventoried by part numbers.........and also uses a vintage Frigidaire Parts Book as a reference.......
This is a part Ive been looking for........its the water inlet for a 1-18 washer.......the part that mounts around the top perimiter of the tub........mine had a hole in it....now I have a brand new one! (Actually I have 3 brand new ones!)
Mark also has a great supply of washer motors and a couple of dishwasher motors too. They are BRAND NEW IN THE BOX, something which I thought I would never see. I bought one for my 1966 Custom Imperial RollerMatic washer........
Also there are some 1-18 motors. Jim and I each bought one. The pulleys on these can be a problem, as they are rubber mounted and tend to break at the rubber mount with age........so now I have a spare.......
