Pink '63 Three-Ring Frigidaire Washer in Winnipeg

[Unimatic1140]

Huh? What's up with that?

And since Robert's turned his nose up to it

That's not fair Jason, as much as I love Winnipeg and Pink Frigidaires, its still a 14 hour round-trip drive from here and we only have until Thursday. If it were a really rare, once in a lifetime washer, yes I would pay the $1200 international shipping charges, but I can't spend that kind of money for something I wouldn't even want to keep. I do enough around here without having to drop everything and drive 650 miles to get a washer that I'm not even interested in. If someone is really interested in that machine they will find a way, if not there will be other machines in time.

Sorry Robert

I guess I misread things. Again, I jumped too soon.

Well, hopefully someone will get it. If not well, there will be another time. That machine's just out of reach for most people I guess.

Austin,

I am one of those who would give his eye teeth for these beautiful machines - but I can not afford to book another flight out of Munich to Canada, pick them up, drive to Fort Collins, Colorado, surprise my parents...
Then drive down to Denver and fly back to Munich in time for my student's next class.
Wish I could. If I were independently wealthy I would.
Guess these are just lost to us. Who took the great pictures? Was awful nice of them. I had been assuming it was Robert until he pointed out that it was 14 hour round-trip.

Gosh

Doesn't it kill your soul when something so great is so far away?

Robert, thank you for continuing to post these opportunities. I really appreciate the hard work you do, and the thoughtfulness you've shown.

It is a shame that this machine may be an impossible case, but I know that it's happened to all of us in one way or another over the years. The comfort comes with knowing that something good is always on the horizon, and the excitement comes when you realize that you may not always know--or even anticipate in your wildest dreams--what that "something" might be.

In the meantime, you do the best you can.

Yes it does Nate, and for me it's called husband material cuz there's only loosers and sluts around here.

And you guys, you know how I feel about pink, I got nuttin' to trade for it.

 

[jasonl]

Oh come on, Bob, ain't nuthin with pank. It's a 50s color.

Well I guess today is the sad day for that lovely 63 pair.

The good news is Gregg's Unimatics are up on ebay. Someone who's Unimatic-less should get these.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Well it appears that the machine hasn't been crushed yet, so if anyone really wants it now is your chance, maybe he can hold it for a bit...

Robert - Thanks or the quick reply. Sorry to hit you with another
picture, but that is the route for me to get out in my message process.
We can stash the pink machine for a while, if there is a good chance
someone could come and get it. Do your best to find a new owner; but
give me an idea how soon that might happen, if at all possible. If it
is really desirable, maybe some one could arrange for storage here
until it could be taken away. I don't think getting an old washer
across the border should be a problem - is that right ?

Dryer

I am a little drifty these days, but I remember the owner saying the dryer was good, the washer had issues. Maybe the dryer is still installed and drying while the washer is outside, waiting.
A guess.
