Paul, should I get a turquoise sink for the disposer!?

I figured that if I didn't get these, they might eventually end being scrapped... And because of the neighborhood where these come from, I see an interesting connection between these and how I first talked to you a few years ago when I saw that "wanted" ad on Craigslist from someone searching Turquoise Frigidaire appliances from Beacon Hill! 

I don't have the exact text for your ad but here's my original reply!

"Hi, unfortunately, I can't help you but I'm also looking for old Frigidaire appliances, if you ever come across something that doesn't interest you... I'm looking for a frost-proof bottom freezer refrigerator from the late fifties to the mid-sixties I'd also like a set of Frigidaire washer/dryer from the early sixties (any color is fine!).

Thanks

Phil

Still haven't got a washer/dryer set from the early sixties... Maybe someday!

About the oven that I got today, all I did so far was replacing a light bulb for the clock dial that was burned and the knob for the Meat Tender that was broken...

Phil, 

Tappan also made nice-looking appliances. Some also had nice chrome ovens.

 If I ever see a washer/dryer set for sale locally in turquoise that isn't Frigidaire, I think I'll pass! I don't want to loose a friend because I get a pair of Turquoise Lady Kenmores before he does! But if they happen to be Frigidaires, I hope he'll forgive me!

Thanks for your comments everyone!

Roger, I remember you showed me your Hotpoint turquoise cooktop cover

Greg, I have seen the '65 Custom Deluxe set in Florida. I also wish it was a bit closer... In fact, I also wish it would be a WI-65/DI-65 set or a Custom Imperial set!

 Here in Canada, it would have to be an Imperial because the Custom Imperial wasn't available starting in 1965 (there were just 5 models offered here in 1965). Strangely, the Custom Deluxe models like the set in Florida (with the remote timer knob) was available with a suds saver here too (WCDRC-65) but not in the US (it was the WCDAR-65 without the remote timer knob).  

Beautiful!

That's right Tom, that's because each pair of burners was on a separate circuit. 

Look at this Canadian 30" Custom Imperial range, it also has 2 burner lights and no "speed heat" but it's otherwise identical (or almost) to the US models. After that, the Canadian free standing ranges were quite different-looking from the US models and they didn't look as nice... 

Now a US model.

Tom, is yours like that or a 40" model?

I didn't get a manual for it but I should figure how it works without it! I have two Flairs and I have both owner's manuals (in French!) for them. 

I think that in 1961 ovens they were still located at the left of the storage drawer like in my 1960 Deluxe range. Later models, which looked completely different from the US models had theirs under a removable panel on the lower part of the console. 

40" ranges like yours weren't available anymore from Frigidaire in the 1960's here. 

Canadian Compact 30 ranges had their fuses located behind a chrome strip visible below their oven door (I don't have a picture showing one but I've seen one). 

Built ins and Flairs had a remote fuse panel and Flairs with a base cabinet had their fuse panels located in their base cabinets. 

Here's another newer free standing Canadian Frigidaire 30" range, "K" model from 1966. 

A Canadian "L" model from 1967-70. 

Detail from the same range. The Canadian Imperial models still had no self cleaning ovens but kept the "Pull-N-Clean" ovens from the early sixties. 

Other than having a large glass in their doors, they looked a bit like the older, pre-1965 Frigidaire ranges with a full width door and similar top. 

Here's an ad from November 1967 showing Canadian appliances. They were the last generation ("L" ranges, "N" washers and "P" dishwashers) built here. The Canadian factory in Scarborough was fully converted to automotive production in 1970. Some appliances were also imported from the US since at least the mid-sixties since my 1965 top loading (D&M) Super dishwasher was sold new here but made in the US. I think that at about the same time, some of the fancier refrigerators started to be imported from the US too but I'd like to find out more about that...
