What's the only thing better than brining home a 50's Frigidaire washer?

[tuthill]

Why bringing home 2 of course! Look at that beautiful '59 Multi-Matic!

 

[tuthill]

Made only by General Motors...

... who else?

 

[tuthill]

Such a cool looking timer, another cool thing is that it advances

New for 1959!

Frigidaire's Custom Imperial 2-speed Automatic Washer

Ugh the story behind this machine.... Well it lights up, the timer works, it spins, and the motor reverses. Gonna enjoy tearing it apart and putting it back together if i ever have time

 

[tuthill]

Consumer Reports could benefit from this

 

[tuthill]

But wait there's another!

Let's go back 4 years to the wonderful world of one speed one cycle

Who wants to play..

.. shiniest washer??

Plumbing hooked up, level, grounded and power. Let's wash!!

 

[tuthill]

Just look at that chrome! I'm still amazed at how good of shape this thing is in. The scary thing is, the matching dryer is even better.

Kennth O. Sisson would be proud. Altough rumor has it, he prefers the "sheer look."

Money shot

Whoops! How did that get in there?

**AHEM**

Jed, I believe I see enough room there for TWO vintage washers? And aren't those pesky modern machines stackable?

The Pulsator stops moving up and down, and the tub starts to spin- round and round, faster and faster, at a breathtaking 1140 times a minute. This is Rapidry Spinning!

 

[tuthill]

I love the color in this one

[tuthill]

Yay for stuff like this, don't you just love the 50's???

 

[tuthill]

And for all you Bob-loaders out there, here ya go

Beautiful washers, Jed.

You can always store plastic grocery bags in the 59, until you find a rollermatic mechanism to put in it ;-)

 

[tuthill]

Once again, a huge thanks to Robert! I couldn't have done this with out you, and you know how much I appreciate everything you do for me!

Enjoy the pictures guys and gals!

Rollermatic mechanisms

feh LOL

 

[saltysam]

AWESOME Just AWESOME!!!

Both of those machine are fantastic!~ I love my '60 Multi-Matic and use it every week for laundry along with the 1-18 and the Roller-Matic....But I do have to admit that the Multi-Matic outwashes the 1--18 AND the Roller-Matic.....Just wish mine was a more deluxe model with more features....Maybe one day i'll find one.....

Congratulations Jed........!! Both of those machines are awesome!

Really nice Frigidaire's guys! They are so much fun and it is nice to collect some from every generation for varied fun!
The '55 Uni is one of my absolute favorites.

Mark----I'm so glad that rare "diaper-washer" has found a good home. They were all over the place in the deep south back in the day---but very few have survived. That one did have two other siblings though.

Congrats Jed

Congrats Jed for the acquisition!

My 1963 Multimatic Frigidaire finally arrived home here in Oz last week. Need to spend a bit of time cleaning it and posting some pics.

Cheers
