How Interesting

Queensbury is upstate New York. They have a few Frigidare "Jet Action" washers as well.

Thanks!!!

It's a couple of hours from me, not too far from Glens Falls, NY!
Great to know!

 

[kenmoreguy89]

You're welcome, glad to know that it's interesting for someone.......for some pieces they're a bit too expensive for my taste but for those frigidaires and wringers price is okay considering they're reconditioned, do not know if in the NY state there must be a guarantee provided for recondiotioned appliances, here they should have 24 months as for the news.....just curious also to know the dryers and stuff at price 0.00 how much really cost...... All the appliances they sell looks in good shape and no need of any works or restore tho.

Wringer Washing Machines

Many nearly new and or in excellent condition can be had all over the United States, many at give away prices because owner's just want them gone.

Sometimes sellers of vintage wringer washers *think* they have gold, which depending upon the model and condition they might. In which case asking >$200 USD isn't out of the question.

Simply search Craigslist or eBay and you'll find more wringers that you can beat with a stick.

@Laundres

Yeah I know this but often the wringers for "give away price" even if in good estetic shape are untested or sold "as is" wich translated would mean not working or having some issues....
often miss something or rollers are broken, seals leaking etc....
You can find the "big deal" but it comes difficult to be at right place at the right time....
Then this place give me the impression of a place where you can negotiate the price.....
Overpricing:
Yep!
Sometimes i cannot help but think to make a HUGE laugh at people stating a 60s 70s wringer as a 1920 model or thinking of having gold as you say, same thing is for all other vtg appliances they sell, I've seen rusty steam irons and percolators with auctions starting from 80$ and showed like rarities when actually many of them even in better shape are around and not that rare....

They also sell parts and possible matching dryers....

@Laundress You're right!!!! Didn't watched very wel

Oh well, I just looked better at the description of the wringers, you're right on ebay or craiglist you can find better, one is leaking and other not sure if working OMG!

Didn't read this and looking better at picture the lid is full of cracks....well, this remain good just for the frigidaires, the brown ones I love their controls!!!
In fact watching generally they say many of them needs a repair, do not understand why they claim to sell reconditioned appliances!
However:
Looks they've other that didn't linked in their website....would be nice to make a visist though![this post was last edited: 1/12/2012-17:56]

aplliance store

This store is almost 4 hours from where I live. I wish it was closer. If anyone would like to go I would be happy to go for the ride. Looks like a interesting place.

Did Not Browse Through Entire Listings

But it seems the shop aquires appliances, marks them up and sells them on. By the look of some of the stock barely a wipe with a damp rag is enough to call them "reconditioned". Suppose if one does not wish to spend time and petrol running here there and yonder the place might be of use. OTHO if one has use of a decent truck/van and proper equipment one can probably find better choices for less money.

@Laundress

It's probably so, but who knows that maybe they could have a someone's dream machine among that stuff...
Maybe if someone happend to be around there for work etc. could just make a visit....
Thought they were more serious....

 

[kenmoreguy89]

Listings with the three *** denotes are fully reconditioned, so not all!
Writing this a little bigger would be great!

@kenmoreguy89

Outside of the Amish community and perhaps a few others (including collectors of vintage appliances such as ourselves) wringer washing machines hold little value with the average USA public.

Women who remember using them and or perhaps their mother's or grandmother's machines usually have no love lost for wringer washers.

 

[kenmoreguy89]

@Laundress

Yes of course that's normal!

 

[supremewhirlpol]

Dream machines?

If that's the case, if these are true dream machines for someone, they'd be willing to shell out, part with, or do a number of other things just to get the machines. You see it here all the time. Really? >$2,000 for a old, crusty Charcoal Black W/D? I rest my case.

 

[bajaespuma]

This is Hans Hansen's warehouse. See <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Thread # 30162. This guy deserves our business; he's a collector of monitor top refrigerators but has extended his scope to lots of other vintage appliances and some parts. Looks like his son, Hans Jr. has helped him set up a website. Huge warehouse.

[kenmoreguy89]

They've a toll free number anyway, if one is looking for something specific and it's far or does not want to spend gas can ask them making a call W/out spending money.....if I had it near me I would organize a visit anyway...just to see....would be a lucky day how not, I would just start without too many expectations.....
And then when a dream machine you've looked for years comes, you would do everything to grab it as already said, (funds and conditions allowing).

 

[turquoisedude]

It's a pretty amazing place, alright! PhilR and I are planning a trip back there (Phil got a nifty 1-18 washer/dryer set and I got a Monkey Wards top-load impeller-wash dishwasher last year) - I need some GE range parts and the Hansens have thousands of NOS parts.
Definitely worth a trip if you can make it!!

 

[washerlover]

Thank you so much for sharing! Haven't seen this before and happy to know that there are a few "trayzhures" (as Ethel Mertz pronounces it) out there. Would LOVE to get a Frigidaire machine added to my collection but still playing the waiting game here out West...

 

[kenmoreguy89]

Wow what a paradise!

Well looks like it definitely has been revealed being a paradise!
Actually it is a warehouse kept how they can as it is HUGE!
So it is a familiar owned place and think it have a quite a nice and lovely story, they should adevertise better the treasures they've on their website!
At first just thought they were a shop specialized in repairs and reconditioning, then watching better a kind of scrapper who sell broken vtg and "still working" appliances, anyway would have been worth the trip if you were around just to take a look, personally just for those Jet action frigidaires with the window lid would have been worth it, they would never miss if have a collection.... let's hope someday!
But such a place, never thought!
They should explain more on their website about what they're and do.
They've really rare parts on sale also!
Who is that make reparations there? Guess for some models they just prefer let restorations and repairs to someone more technical and skilled about them.
That's a lovely place, if I come to NY next year I will have a visit for sure!
