Thank God the older generation didn't throw stuff away like the mid silent generation through current do.

I hear a 1950s air raid siren alert for somebody to grab that !

and remember for who ever gets this set, your agitator could easily look like this with a new set of reproduction detergent cap, lint chaser and circulator rings and brand new reproduction pulsator. They could be made in the original 1956-1957 gray or all pink to match the machine!

Could only be better if they were turquoise, but then that's a personal thing! Hope countryford can nab 'em.

I like that the dryer offers 140 minutes of dry time with high, medium, low and delicate temps. I think all dryers should offer 140 minutes of dry time.

Old appliances had the best control systems with all the best options. If these options could be paired with modern versions of the Whirlpool 29 inch dryer and direct drives in conjunction with durable chrome styling it would be a win-win.

This laundry set is screaming for restoration. What a great find for someone who has the skills for that.

I honestly can’t justify throwing something away that can provide many years of trouble free service, as long as parts can be found or made, might as well keep things for running as long as possible.

Of course, there will be those who will make remarks but honestly, who the hell cares. If people complain about the things one has being ‘outdated’ or ‘obsolete’, then they can forward the money for something newer.

People who always want the latest and greatest are most often financially broke.

Turquoise wasn't introduced in the Frigidaire line until 1958 along with Sunny Yellow, before that the '57 came in Pink, Sea-Foam Green, Stratford Yellow and White. Later on in the year by spring of 1957 they also introduced Charcoal Gray. I agree though a Control Tower set in Turquoise would be absolutely stunning!
