1959 Frigidaire WCI-59 Washer / DCI-59 Dryer, in Pink!

Saving photos for the archives. Is this the same pink '59 set that showed up, say, within the last decade or so?

If they were just one year older, the asking price doesn't seem so far off then...

The new 1959s. Gansky called this MultiMatic design the MultiTragic. Friends had the 1959 Imperial model independent knobs for wash/rinse temperatures and wash/spin speeds.
 
I don’t know much a completely restored 1959 Frigidaire Multimatic would be worth, but probably wouldn’t be anywhere close to $4,500. Seen classic cars on my local marketplace in that price range.
 
Fair price

I'd have to say something under $1000 but I am in no way an authority. I bought my matching kenmore frog eye set from a fellow collector for I think $400. I bought a matching 1958 westinghouse slant front washer and dryer for $300. Judging by the cracked rubber on the agitator shaft these are going to need a bit of work. They are more desirable being pink vs white and in very good cosmetic condition.
 
"Considering most buyers will have to ship the set, a grand or so would be a fairer price for an un-restored set."

A grand would be a fair price even if the seller lived next door.

Without any details of work performed/work needed, always expect a worst case scenario.

At $4,500, I would at least expect a YouTube video of them working. Like a full video with each appliance working from start to finish.

In the next year or so, I will be thinning the herd a bit and a complete breakdown of every single part replaced, work performed, and complete video of them running from start to finish will be posted before sale. Anything else is a scam, PERIOD!
 
Ben is this the set you were thinking of? Good memory! These were listed at that time on the Seattle Craigslist if I recall. The buyer had just beat Eddy to the punch if I remember right.

Can't believe that was almost 10 years ago!
