Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a long time but I thought I'd share this "almost" catch. I haven't found anything interesting in a very long time, and with work and personal stuff I really haven't been actively searching much. However, James' (114jwh) eagle eye spotted this set just after they were posted on the local craigslist. We went right to work sending an email to the seller offering the $300 asking price but no reply. Later that day the ad was taken down. Still nothing. So I thought I'd post pictures just so that you can see what's still out there waiting to be saved. I wouldn't be surprised to see this pair listed on Ebay sometime in the future.

1959 was such a good year. Maybe for you, Louis, but not for the redesigned Frigidaire washers. There was lots of in the field servicing and motor replacement. Once that was taken care of, they performed well. Hello Eddie! | ||

They were in the US. Is there anything I can do to prep these machines for storage? I live in an apartment so there's no way to use them. Going to save them for when I live in a house. I'll try to post more pictures soon if anybody is interested. | ||

1959 dryer Was there anything problematic about the 59' dryer. I have one that I haven't used yet, and would rather know in advance rather than be surprised if any problems arise. Les. | ||
