The F Word.........FRIGIDAIRE! Arrived home to find an unexpected package from Rich Trainguy. A WONDERFUL Frigidaire 1-18 accessory........Thank you Rich for your thoughtfulness and generosity. You are a "Crown" prince and a gem of a friend...... Meowzer is giving the box a kiss here.......He likes washers a lot too!

Box graphics..........This is a late model dispenser. I believe the 1-18's had 3 different designs of fabric softener dispensers.....

 

[filterflo]

Brand new, never used! You just cant get any better than this..........

 

[filterflo]

Many parts to this model, but its easy to clean and easy to use........

 

[filterflo]

Installed on my 1-18.........

It went right on the display shelf with the rest of my factory authorized genuine Frigidaire Accessories.......

Filter Flo,
NEAT STUFF!! I love it. I assumed by your name you were a GE buff. I love anything old Maytag, but the Frigidaire oldies are golden.

Cool looking dispenser, Jimmy. I've not seen that style before.

 

[filterflo]

Yes Bobby, I love GE's. My Mom bought a GE FilterFlo in 1956, with sudsaver, which is what started my facination with washers. But I love all brands, some more so than others. Philcos and Kelvinators are great as are my Frigidaire Pulsators.......but GE's are closest to my heart! BTW, I still have my Mom's washer! being one of the few washer collectors that still own their original family washing machine........

Your little tiger's awesome and how cool that the dispen

How fitting for the 5 stage rocket jet it rests on. Wonderful.

Please tell us how the Suds-saver works on the solid tub GE's, I have horrible suds-saver sickness.

Jimmy, the carpet is just too cool! Never seen a pattern like that - love the lighting bolts! Also the accessory display looks great - what a cute tabby cat next to the new Frigidaire box. Enjoy ~

Filter

Kind of a nice addition to that obese agitator. The 1-18 agitators don't really do it for me, however with that filter attached, I must say I looked at it with greater appreciation. Accessorizing is good, and boy it does the job. I'm not a big Frigidaire person, but as far as they go, I prefer the 3 Ring, and the Jet Cone agitators. I almost become hypnotized watching the WCI-58 video in See It Wash. It is growing on me.

Good Luck,
James

Isn't it great to have a family machine from ages ago? Our 1960 Maytag is still with us, used almost every day!

Maybe I can see these in August at the convention. Trying to work out details for a trip back East.

How did I not notice this?

I was just looking at this thread again, and read my post above, and realized I kept referring to the 1-18 dispenser as a filter. My mind must have been in one of its moments.

Have a good one,
James

Jimmy,

I'm glad that you liked the surprise. And I just loved the gifts you sent me for my birthday, too. I thought lots of 1-18 users would be asking for one as they are so very hard to come by. That Maytag carpet is really unique. I hope to be back in Pittsburgh soon so that we can hit a few appliance places. The weather should be getting perfect for a road trip.

Rich

 

[filterflo]

Hi Rich, glad you got the package safe and sound. Im ready for another appliance road trip......How about a trip to Mr. S's place again?

 

[trainguy]

I have quite a few letters at home here that are from some of you wanting more parts and 1-18 fabric softener dispensers. I'll fill your orders as soon as I get back home and have time.

Jimmy, I'll be leaving later today for a few out of town trips and won't return until the 22nd. Let's try for a day after that.

James, your dispenser and bed of nails lint filter are in the mail - enjoy!

Dave, I'm still trying to dig up a new tub nut for your '67 rollermatic. The one in the pic was for a unimatic, sorry.

Leon, I soaked a pulsator for 3 weeks and got it as pliable as I can. I'll ship it out today.

Hector, if you want that white Lady Kenmore, I'll tag it today and put it aside for you - no charge.

Thanks,
Rich
