When Mark (lightedcontrols) and Gary were here last weekend, they had the most beautiful machines in the trailer and although Mark took the incredible pink ABC-O-Matics home with him, he did leave a little something behind. While not pink, it will still be just as stunning next to my 1957 Frigidaire Control Tower washer. I've only quickly wiped it down, it will need a total teardown and restore job, but it's gorgeous already! Now I can re-create the television commercial with my 57 set... Thank you again Mark - I couldn't be more excited to have the set! I already have the perfect spot picked out!

But WAIT - There's more!!
Gary K. from Minneapolis was also in town last weekend and since he was driving his truck, Robert sent this along. This is the 1959 Frigidaire dryer (in turquoise!) that will be paired with my 59 multimatic-feh washer. It's in beautiful shape and drys clothes so fluffy and soft, Frigidaire had a great air-flow dryer all through the 60's and this is no exception...not even any static electricity problems, even with no softener. Thanks again Robert, another set completed! Be on the lookout for Santa trying to shove a 56 Hotpoint into your stocking in about a month!

Greg! You've already got the Control Tower looking great! If you want to trade the 59 vented turquoise for a 59 filtrator, let me know. I have the same set but am not that fond of the filtrator dryers..(ok I'm hiding as everyone growls)....Mark | ||

congrats Greg! Those Frigidaires are beautifully styled machines, and I think the control towers were years ahead of their time. Nobody could do anything so neat looking these days! | ||

Every Color of the Flag
Beautiful Control Tower Greg, the set is going to look great together. Enjoy the dryer, I loved that '59 Frigidaire dryer for many years, it always made for such nice soft clothes. Thanks for the trade! Greg and I traded the dryer and my white panels from my '56 Frigidaire for his pink panels. Now Neal and I have every color of the Applianceville Flag (pink, yellow, turquoise) in our kitchen...
