My 1967 landlord's Frigi wasn't on concrete, it was on the flimsy wooden underhouse of a hillside Hawaii home. And it didn't cause anyone palpitations or earthquakes. I lived UNDER it and I couldn't tell when it stopped without walking upstairs to see. When I wasn't standing there watching it.
But it wasn't the magnificent 'control tower' machine. Those are dramatically understated, or understatedly dramatic. A pinnacle among good-old Merikun laundry design. What beauties.
Look grand on their new plinths, looking forward to seeing them in action!!!, I feel I should know this but where is the lint filter for the dryer?? or does the lint all collect in the condenser??
WOW They look great Jon, I hope you are also going to have a cement base installed for the LKM gas combo so we can finally get it spinning smoothly.
Someone asked if this was a vented dryer or condenser dryer, All Frigidare TOL dryers from 1950-1960 were electric and no vent air-cooled condenser machines. And about the stability of these machines, Frigidare washers had less vibration problems after 1961 as they reduced the max spin speed and went to a wider 27" cabinet that year. But all the original Uni-Matics were just 25" wide and needed a good solid floor for best vibration free spin performance.
NOW I want MORE concrete and its going to happen.
Thank you Laundress, after get over being "stunned" you'll have to come out to see them when I do the open house this spring!
These just take my breath away. To be 54/55 years old they look more up-to-date than any of todays TL or FL's. And i am sure they wash and dry better than anything today.
