While not a fan of "potty mouth" talk, will forgive you this!
Congrats on such a wonderful set, and you are living proof to newbie collectors who bounce in here saying they "can't find anything". Anyone who will drive a pick-up almost half cross country with today's petrol prices, just to collect a vintage appliance set is AOK with moi!
Looking forward to snaps of the restoration (what little there seems to be),process and maiden wash/dry.
Again, congrats!

Besides being an "Absolutely Fabulous!" pair, your new dryer is "Energy-star approved" for recovering/saving heat in winter.
*LOL*
Much luck and success with these.

Congratulations on getting such a great set. Hope they are up and running for you without too much trouble. Really nice styling on those of course. One of the great finds of '08.
Hi Jed, yay, the set is just beautiful!!!!! Oh you are going to love washing and drying in these machines.
Don't forget to put really hot water into the pump before you give it a try. This will lubricate the carbon face seal, otherwise you might destroy this seal. This is the rule of thumb for all vintage washers.

Absolutely fabulous! I've always loved that black Frigidaire agitator with the coffee percolator center sitting inside that dark (is it black?) porcelain tub. I am again amazed at the craftsmanship and workmanship that once went into American made white goods.
My hat's off to you; I'm in Connecticut and I thought the drive to Rochester from here was long! I'm going to have to stop spending money on washing machines for a while and save up for a pick-up truck.

Nice set. Two snaps for making that long drive. Who cares about the price of gas anyway!
Wowies!
Those are just beautiful--and no, I wouldn't guess there would be any rust on them, since that's mile-thick, all-over porcelain.
Lovely, and congratulations!!
Now, I think we're due a quick lecture by someone about liquid detergents and such, aren't we? ;-)

Hey everyone, thanks for all the comments on my machines!! They really are beautiful, aren't they??
As far as liquid detergent goes, I have some, and I remember people commenting about it with my wringer. The reason I have it is because when I was at ACE picking up some stuff for the wringer, I wanted some TIDE and that's all they had. I will not put it in the Unimatic, it will have to settle for the boring, unscented, unsudsing powder that my mom uses in the Duet. I am open to all detergent suggestions!
p.s. sorry for the F-bomb, not planning on doing it again... just PLEASE understand the context

Congratulations Man!
On those beautiful machines! Welcome to the Frigidaire club!! There is NOTHING like a Frigidaire, at least in my opinion.
I also soon hope to have a Unimatic/Filtrator set.
I'm curious as to what the deal is about the liquid detergent in the Unimatic? Is it harmful in some way?

I'm using your second picture as wallpaper on my computer. It would nice to have a screen saver of vintage washers, complete with sounds, anyone good at this type of thing?

Excellent nab on the 55 set! You're going to love this washer (and dryer) so much...
