Nice old classics in the natural "before" stage. Have any of these been brought to "after" phase yet,or are they still of life support?

The "tin worms" sure got to that poor Wizard! I think it would take Gandolph himself to breath life back into that one.... LOL!!

Thanks for posting Peter! Nice to see the Georgia finds again!

Even though the top is rusted through on the Wizard, the tub and agitator appear to be in good shape, IMHO. Keeping my fingers crossed on this one!

Interesting finds, Peter. Thanks for the pictures. That Wizard looks like it should be on a cooling board ;-)

That poor Wizard... Underneath the rusted out cabinet, the machine looks perfect.

Especially like the photos of the Philco Peter, think it will ever run again? They are just so rare..........

Hey

I'm in Rome GA. I would like to see your collection some day. Tim

HOLY FREAKING COW! What a haul! I hope your lower backs survived the strain. I don't believe I've ever seen a '61 clamshell Frigidaire before. Does the top of the console actually fold down? Once again, I'm amazed at how much the design changed every year on Frigidaire washers.

Although it made my teeth hurt to see that rusted-through Wizard, the agitator and tub were nearly identical to a Coronado washer some friends used to have. Funny how the tub/agitator are in such great shape by comparison. Hope you find uses for them.

Wow, guys. You are like hunters who came back from a big-game safari! Thanks for posting all the pics.

Everytime I see this journey, I can't help myself - I'm always starting back at the beginning! Good to see a few more photos posted. Keep your fingers crossed on that Wizard! And the Philco - wow, just amazing.

Great Haul

I LOVE the Norge Timeline. I would give anything to have a machine like that. Thats my dream machine and hope to find one.

Great treasures! Altough the other machines might be more rare I still have a weak spot for the 1955 Frigidaire. That model always reminds me of an oldfashioned radio.
