There is a mechanism for that machine out in the shed that Peter and I brought back from the SD farm trip two years ago...never played with it though, I guess you could install it in a rapidry cabinet and rig up a switch for it. I might be the closest anyone ever gets to having one again.
Never seen the cabinet washer but Don S. and I saw a cabinet dryer while out hunting last year. It was in a shop and being used as a storage cabinet and TV stand.

gas frigidaire dryers!
Hi Cadman
I really love your new machines. They are beautiful. Hope you got your problem fixed. I'm not much of an appliance mechanic, but I enjoy the talk and history our knowledgable members have. Will tell you tthat your dryer is a rarity in my book. I've seen many WP, KM, Maytag, Norge dryers that were gas in people's homes, but most frigidaires were electric. Does it have a pilot or were any dryers made then using electric ignition? Supposedly my neighbor's 64 westy had electric ignition after she ashed the gas man to light it after a move across town and he discoved it was pilotless. Well, anyway congrats again. Enjoy!

I had a WXL model in Baltimore at my cousin's house in Dundalk.The main problem was the cluth kept going bad.It also had a built in liquid detergent and liquid fabric softner dispenser on the left side of the control panel.The speed for agitation could be "tuned in" from soak or 0 PPM to about 330 PPM.The speed for spin could be "tuned in"from a slow 75 RPM to a whopping 1,010 RPM BKA Rapidry.The washer had a see through window lid and automatic electronic dispensers for liquid detergent and fabric softner located on the left side of the illuminated control panel.There was also a WXP model (HIGH FASSION) that had the same features but added a cabinet above the washer and matching dryer(DXP)I had the dryer for a few yrars and loved the design.The FRIGIDAIRE emblem on the agitator of these models was silver (aluminium).Chuck
