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.......

More literature and repair manuals..........These are the condensed versions of the Frigidaire Tech Talks. The are a gold mine of a find. Service tips, parts views, wiring diagrams.......and all from the 50's and 60's..........

What a great find!

Congrats, Jimmy - looks like you have enough parts there to keep you busy for a while!! The Frigidaire signs are cool, too; nice accent piece for a collection room.
 
Mark brought this tool out from a long forgotten tool drawer. I flipped when I saw it.........its worth its weight in GOLD when you need one............This is the tool used to INSTALL a MAYTAG Agitator spline. It appears the tool had never been used.......!

Mark had taken a lot of the parts to his home. He was very kind to bring a lot of them back for us to view and purchase......This should keep my Unimatics going for a while!
