Again?
How many of you wear pumps to dry?
Be honest.
Oh I'm going to have to pester every old Frigidaire dealer I know to find one of those lint testers.
Sun-rotting?
Despite all the stupid comments I'm making, I am impressed with how thorough this document is. I wonder if any appliance manufacturers today do anything like this for the salespeople in the big stores.
I'd really like to find a pair of these in turquoise! I think the first Frigidaire I ever saw was in that color.
that's all she wrote!
Oh, if I must:

as a frigidaire rollermatic collector
i have enjoyed both the washer and dryer threads you have posted! i love these old 65 models and have 2 washers and one dryer from 1965.
i also remember well that display shown in the washer sales brochure. the one with an actual rollermatic transmission you could crank to see how it operates. the appliance store where i lived had that display and i was fascinated by it!
i did not know the dryer could be sold with an optional condensor for ventless drying. and what a unique option for draining it by having the matching washer siphon it into it's drain hose!
i really think frigidaire had it goin on back in the 50's and 60's! very innovative!
thanks again for a lot of great reading material and happy memories!

Sorry
My dad got us a new '65 Imperial gas dryer when I was 10. Cool(cold?) looking machine. I was doing the wash then. First dry with the new Frig,I thought maybe it was quicker(HA!)than the '60 Norge it replaced. I opened the door after it had been running towels about 30 minutes. Still damp. Shut the door and a burst of FLAMES shot out around the top edges of the dryer & scared(scarred?) crap out of me. I NEVER opened the door during a cycle again & never 'warmed-up' to that dryer.

Frigidaire Dryers!
In my openion these were very well made dryers. I actually think they were made a lot better than the 1/18 dryers.
I am also impressed with the filtrator process. I remember Hotpoint and Maytag also made non vented dryers. Does anyone else know if other companies made the non-vented units, and was Frigidaire the last to make them? It would be interesting to start a thread on non-vented dryers from all other companies and compare. To bad nothing like that is made today. Hard to believe that technology has went backwards.
Thanks for posting,
