I can't believe that someone hasn't jumped on this machine!

Someone should definitely grab this. The exterior looks good just wonder what's "under the hood" so to speak?

I second that - these machines don't turn up every day...  However the original pulsator may be in poor condition, hence why there's no 'money shot'.

Reading thorugh 1950's Consumer Reports Magazines

Was struck by how much CR *really* disliked that Frigidaire washing machine. *LOL*

They did through the unit a bone saying cleaning performance was rather good but that couldn't make up for the tangled mess it made of laundry.

So thats the culprit in an ad in a 1950's B&G magazine that called the tangled wash pile "Whipped Wash!"I used a Frigidaire machine breifly-at my brothers house -if you LOADED it according to the directions on the lid-no problems.Guess CU didn't read and follow the directions on the lid?I also replaced the timer in his machine.

I don't think under lid instructions (with the visual quadrants) was featured on Frigidaire washers until at least 1957, if not 1958. I know through the 1955 year for sure.
