Isn't that the most beautiful washer you've ever seen???? I wonder if it still has the original two-ring pulsator in it?Somebody save that Unimatic from the crusher.

Actually, according to my Frigidaire parts literature, the WV-65, which is what this model is, *was* introduced in 1954! Surprised the hell out of me!
Frigidaire, as with many appliance companies, introduced their new product lines in the fall of the preceding year (1955 line intro'd in 1954) just like automobile companies intro'd their new models.
Wow, if he writes im on my way =)
Looks like i picked a good morning to come visit my friends in Applianceville. I've been away a few months, not good things have been happening. I'm going to be posting the distrubring news shortly (and since I've been a member since the yahoo days I'm posting it to vintage).
Hope all is well, and hope this guy emails back =)
Love you all!
Steven

I got it =-)
Well I'm going to Oregon next weekend! If it was a classic applianceville member who decided to let that machine go, all I can say is THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
I will respond to my "other" posting a little later, but thank you so much for everyones kind words, but right now I want to think that post was written about someone else. I woke up today thinking something good was going to happen, I didn't realize it would be a frigidaire and I didn't think I would have the strength to even come onto the site and tell everyone where I've been.

Steven,
Congratulations... I am very happy that you got it. This looks to be a wonderful machine in very good condition. I would love to see the machine and if you want to stop for awhile before your trip back that would be great. I'll send you an email.

Hi Steven, I'm am so thrilled you are going to get that washer! Is this your first Unimatic?
Many of the components of the 1955 Unimatic are the same in the 1958 Unimatic, the main differences are the water valve, wash tub and agitator are very different. If you look at the thread called "Show Us The Inside Of Your Frigidaire" you can see some of the differences. The Unimatic mechansim itself is extactly the same.
I would love to see a picture of your pink 1958 Filtrator Dryer!

Congrats, Steven, and have a safe trip! You and I will most likely be the only owners of this model Frigidaire washer in Southern California. I have the instruction manual and will be happy to make a copy for you if you like.
