i told him i would post these pics and i have his number if anyone wants something. i bought his frigidaire set off e-bay from him after seeing it advertised on this site.
so i came on home and this trip was a success, no truck breakdown, no dropping anything off the truck!

this one does have
much more tub rust than any other rollermatic i now have. it seems to be surface rust, not that deep yet.
if anyone has a suggestion as to what to use on it to repair this please let me know. i was gonna use primer and rustoleum.

dryer looks to be
in good shape. i had forgotten how much i love frigidaire dryers. my aunt had one and that lint filter was so convenient! gonna get the dryer running and use it as my "main machine". have to run 220 vac to it so it will be awhile.

all in all
a very pretty set that i was very fortunate to be able to get! i am very grateful for the post on this site that enabled me to buy it.
once i get the turquoise rapidry custom imperial running this one is my next "project". maybe i'll luck out and it won't even leak. everything looked great from underneath, very clean looking, no signs of trouble.
thanks for lookin!

You really do have a lot of dedication for the Rollermatics, and their preservation. We need to get more word out to the general population on the vintage Frigidaires. They weren't very common to begin with, not nearly so as the Maytags and Whirlpools, so a smaller population was ever made aware of them.
There is more to a GM Frigidaire than just its cleaning abilities. To me, the entertainment value is just as important if not more so. There was a lot of "cool" factor in General Motor's advertising back in the day. In addition to their good cleaning abilities, these machines were actually a lot of fun to use!

Rust
Pete,
That's the most rust I've ever see on one. I'd try some Iron Out. I used some sno-bol once and made a mess with it. One things for sure, if you want to remove the rust and protect the finish you'll have to work at it carefully.
I just reworked the pump on my '65 and it turned out great, if you need some tips let me know.

thanks
yea it's got some rust doesn't it but underneath it looks great, turns easily, bearing sounds good, motor looks good, rollers great! the guy said water had set in it a long time.
as for the pump, thanks but i don't use pumps on mine. i take them off and gravity drain em. that's what i am workin on now on my custom imperial, installing a second drain in the outer tub using a peice from a pool supply house. it's 1 and 1/2 inches in diam pvc, i have hole cut in outer tub already, gettin ready to prime paint it.
i did find a new pump seal from larry in parma for rollermatic pumps, if you need one he may have more. dave from dave's repair on the web is advertising them also.
glad you got your pump fixed.

Pete, Great shots of your growing Frigidaire collection and your Living Room! Looks like you've got a lot of work ahead, but it will be worth it when they are restored. Mike

You are amazing Pete, you can sniff out a rollermatic from a couple hundred miles! I have a dryer in coppertone that is a match or close to it.
