I've been doing some moving things around the last couple of weeks and today finished putting the North room back together. The sets are all together now and what a great look it is to have the blast of turquoise when you enter the room only to have your breath taken away by the 57 Control Towers at the end.

Ugly Brown Outlet I say celebrate it, and put a chrome plate around the black outlets. Very 50's and one can never be without enough outlets. | ||

That is a great set up! Are the WO's across from the Ultra-Clean? What do you suppose makes that '59 dryer so special-------is it "just because"? | ||

Thanks guys - it's surprising how much work it is to "move this over there and this over here..." it takes hours to move washers and dryers! Each one has to be un-hooked, moved, reconnected, levelled, on and on... No new floor, same painted mess that has always been in there. In fact, I was surprised at how nice it looked in the pics - in real-time it's scratched and scraped up pretty bad. Steve, I think the Frigidaire dryer is such a great dryer because of the lower air-flow. My 68 Frigidaire was the same design. Less amounts of air moving through the dryer tends to be not as harsh on the clothes, they may take a little bit longer to dry, but the softness is worth it. | ||

very cool! Every time I see those control towers I like them more. What a shame they were only made for a year, and so long ago too! Nothing today is so cool looking! Beautiful basement Greg, I am looking forward to seeing it in person! | ||

Showroom Style
Wow, thats a Showroom Sheen or what, looking FAB, please tell me the Maytags still exist?? Too all of you out there starting off with a corner in a basement, spare room or just just having found the "One" appliance you`ve always wanted and think you wont get another... Please set yourself the goal of equipping the room with power, water & decorations....its easier to add appliances to a georgous "ready to move into room" than ship it all out when you had 5 and now its 55.....ohh, how do I know that!!!!

Wonderful display Greg, hope to see it in person sometime. Doing my laudry room over as my winter project. How many of the washers and dryers can you run at once? I can run all my washers at once, but only one elect dryer and a gas dryer so far........the limits of electricity! | ||

Don't worry anyone, the Maytag 906's are safe and sound hibernating for the time being in the spare bedroom downstairs. I should start a B&L (Bed and Laundry), how many other places can you go and have a Maytag washer for a vanity?? Jimmy, the power situation is rather slim in that room, you can run one unimatic and another machine at the same time but unless you time the unimatics properly, you can't run them both together. Only one of the Filtrators can be plugged in at the same time, but why would anyone want to run more than one anyway? The other three machines behind the wall, 49 Westinghouse, 64 Hotpoint and 60 GE are still where they were in June but I've moved some things around in the other room and will take some pics in the next few days. | ||

outlets Between the choice of white, ivory, or brown outlets, and the INFINITE variety of cover plates available, I'm sure you can come up with a satisfactory aesthetic solution | ||

That's beautiful, gansky! I just can't believe how radically different the '56-59 machines were. The '59 control dial looks a bit like it could be on a Kenmore. I've never seen a '59 in person. Can you imagine one of today's manufacturers allowing for so many changes in design each year? It would never happen. Must have been an exciting time to work as a design engineer for Frigidaire...

I too like that 59 Frigidaire set. I think these and the 1960 TOL w/d designs were Frigidaire at their best. Beautiful machines Greg one and all. | ||

Oooohhhhh
Soooooo Nice! Louis is right you do have a Sheer Look arrangement! Matching sets "o" how I dream! I have to blast out under the deck to fit them in. Wonderful Greg, now all you need is a few Chrome Mimxasters on the shelves for Bling! And Angus I howled when I read :"If I wore pearls, I would be clutching them as we speak. Beautiful room!!!" How non Darth Vader!! Jet | ||
