Vintage Whirlpool Appliances and Frigidaire Dishwasher

[jacz219]

Just wanted to drop this here. This is a hot stainless set

I’m also including pics for those of you who do not use Facebook. I am curious to how that dishwasher would be.

That's just like the 1960/1961 Spin Tube deluxe dishwasher that was in the house next door (the one with the LK Combos). A house down the street had Whirlpool (same age) gas cooking--this oven. Similar cooktop, but knobs were on the top next to the burners. This cooktop was my first encounter with pioloetless gas cootop.

Beautiful condition

This almost looks like a two kitchen house where most of the cooking and living was done downstairs and this kitchen was mostly for show. Even signs of normal use are missing.

It's so easy to imagine a grocery delivery boy walking in through that back door.

Damn, the ad's down already but not surprising... it's been a loooong time since I've seen a Frigidaire Spin-Tube with the brushed-chrome front!!   The sad reality of the Frigidaire dishwasher is that they leak...  there's a shaft seal in the pump that is prone to failure and the part is very, very difficult to find.  Poor Phil here in Québec has now cannibalized 4 Spin-Tubes to keep his 63 Custom Imperial dishwasher running (including the rebuilt yellow one I got from Pete the dishwasher collector here....)  I hate to think what might happen to my 58 if I ever installed it and started using it regularly!
