time to sell some of my kids too

[christfr]

well its my turn to get rid of 2 of my kids too. when one comes in one must leave. and i made a promise to myself that once i cant get the car in the garage its time to sell some off. so i have listed my 65 frigidaire set on ebay the item number is 3878947630 and if i wernt so blond i could figure out how to add a link to that page. so forgive me, but the kids really are in great shape and look forward to having a good home. i know someone here will take good care of them.

ooopps posted twice

dryer pic the dryer i got from greg m and it runs great too.. blows strong and hot. this one was repainted too..iot was orig turquoise but i wanted a match set so now its white.. i acid washed the top and the paint took just fine

 

[bfc_tatro]

Chris just a few questions trying to figure this out. the washer and dryer are white not pink correct? The dryer used to be turquoise, what does acid wash do? Is this a high speed spin frigidaire or is it the 600rpm standard speed spin? do you hapen to have a close up picture of the washer control panel dials <br
thanks!

This is just like the set my mother-in-law had when my wife and I got married in 1967. In 1979 when she found out that the frigidaire division had been sold went out and bought the custom imperials for that year trading in the old set. She never liked the 1-18's as well as that pair. My wife, her brother and sister left them with the house when she died in 1999. Sure would have liked either set. She also had a Flair range and frigidaire refrigerator and dishwasher. My wife said all she can remember was that they had Frigidaire appliances. Had 2 1950's washers then the last two sets. She always like dumping the water from the first dryer they had.

speed and acid

the washer doed kick into a high speed its fun to listen to i always liked that part.. the acid wash on the enamel takes the surface off so that the paint will stick and stay on.. i wasnt sure how to do it until one of the body shops we use at work told me what to do and it works. the both are white i dont know why they look pink must be the dim might in the garage

I wondered about the blue button

ahhh....you painted the dryer. I was wondering where you got the turquoise door-opening button. Looks like you did an outstanding job. That is a beautiful set.

I had a similar model washer from 65 in coppertone for many years. The only difference I think is that mine had the wash/rinse temp combined on one dial, so there were three knobs instead of four. Mine was not a rapid dry model. After starting to spin on low speed, it would kick in to a high speed of, what was it? 710? Did a great job and as with all GM Frigidaires was great fun to watch.

The Fate

Oh well I cast a bid, not enough, plus too far for me to go and pick up, way too expensive to ship.

I did not understand my high bid on ebay was changed, however, I will not be doing that thing again. I did not trust it to begin with. Good luck to the seller and great luck to the buyer

 

[westytoploader]

I wonder who the buyer is? Hopefully he's in the club and the set won't be "lost forever".

Sorry that you didn't win 'em Steve. Same goes to Mark. Maybe next time...
