*****Wonderful Friday Atlanta Gathering *****

Then we have the

1-18 that is the star of the show.

Steve said to me on Sunday, have you seen the 1-18 that I am holding for peterh770. Thought to myself, what more could I possibly see after all this wonderful collection. I said, well no, I did not, where is it. We proceeded to the barn to take a peek.

(In the meantime, I was told (by Gyrafoam) that it was the 1-18 with all the colored lights that show which cycle and indicated what the washer was doing at any particular moment.) Confused, YEA, to say the least. I was having to take blood pressure medication to stop this excitement, but was willing and wanting to take the plunge at a peek.

He unveils this machine that has amber, red, blue, aqua, green and orange light signal's above all of the dials. Anyone dare to guess which 1-18 this could perhaps be. I was totaly amazed, and acknowleged, "Steve, I have never seen such a Frigidaire Washer before!" It was so exciting, wish you all could have been there.

Please tell me...

that you got a picture of this 1-18 and that you will post it. Other than a coin operated model I can't visualize what this might be. Can't wait to see it!!! Patrick

Said: Am not sure what the suggestions are about. My plain old computer just popped them up like no body's business.

Response: Your cam may be delivering a lower resolution that does not need *reducin*

So good to see all the familiar faces. Glad y'all had such a good time.

What's that joke about a woman being mugged by a gang of gay guys and they do her hair and makeup? Well, that is what happened to that 1-18. Against my wishes, that wonderful 1977-78 Custom Imperial was glamourized with LEDs. What's worse is that as far as I know, the matching dryer is MIA.

I'm sure Steve will post a pic if he took one...

Thanks for the invite.

 

[foraloysius]

Nice people, good food and great washers. Now that is a wash-in. Would have loved to be there!!

 

[westytoploader]

Did someone say '77-78 Custom Imperial 1-18 covered with LED's? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

 

[geoffdelp]

That looks like a great wash-in!! All that wonderful food and company and machines!! That NIB Maytag is to die for!!

 

[gyrafoam]

It was really nice to visit with everyone. We all stay in touch on a regular basis, but because of distance rarely get to visit in person. I wished it could have been a "wash-in", but we made do with the '64 Highlander. It was a great time.

Special thanks to Brent who was so kind to help me out with the many little "irons I had in the fire".

 

[mayken4now]

Austin: it was "colored" LED's not covered. Is that what you meant? Yes this machine is out of this world, Frigidaire Styling!

Steve

 

[mayken4now]

Brent, did you say GE?

I thought that was so funny about the imitation I did of what a GE looks like. So did you honey!

Steve

 

[Brent-Aucoin]

Steve,
You GE impression will always stick in my mind.
Not to mention all of the other things you did to make us laugh.
When do you think that Steve will notice the knob gone off of his WP dryer in the kitchen that you took? Or the coasters that I just had to have from his kitchen table?
Wink.
