We have a set of Frigidaire appliances some of which are about to "retire". They are all 1963 vintage and pink color - which was wife's requirement when we set-up our original home. The immediate available item is the washer, which has been drooling oil from the transmission for some time. However, it has been getting very noisy and should be repaired or replaced. Our fixer says that he knows what parts are needed but also that he has thrown them out since there was no call for them in his business. All our units were made by Frigidaire/GM Canada and gave great service over the years to present. The washer is a model noted on the inside of the lid is "WDAC-63 WDARC63". Wiuld there be any collertor interest in this washer ? My parents have a 1939 Westinghouse refrigerator still stashed in their basement. Is it of any collector interest ? We live up north of Minneapolis in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. My contact details are: Address 43 Red Robin Place, Winnipeg, MB Canada R3J 3L9 I guess my e mail is available as a return to this message. Will be interested in any reply. Best regards,Harold McCort | ||

Washer Hostel Is there a Canadian member who can take them in until the computer work is caught up or the cat gets over it's hairball? Kelly | ||

Today's POD (24 May)
This beautiful picture is just adding insult to injury. If I had the money and the time, I would fly right over and pick up both of them right now! Kelly asks a pertinent question, isn't there anybody in Canada who could give these wonderful pink machines a friendly storage shed? Or better yet, a home? I cringe to think of them going to the crusher - but I am so many thousands of miles away, I confess my complaints must sound childish... | ||

Well, one can only hope that one of our Canada memebers gets it and holds it until someone else really wants it in their collection. | ||

I don't think there's anyone in Winnipeg and Robert appears to be the closest. It's at the least a 15 hr drive from here and we're trying to pack stuff up and downsize for a cross country move not bring more in.. I just got supreme shite this morning when my other half found my last Sundays flea market finds hidden in my car.. lol. The other awful thing is that the moving truck will be going right through Winnipeg in August.

And since Robert's turned his nose up to it, the machine will probably get crushed. What a shame. | ||

Huh? What's up with that?
And since Robert's turned his nose up to it That's not fair Jason, as much as I love Winnipeg and Pink Frigidaires, its still a 14 hour round-trip drive from here and we only have until Thursday. If it were a really rare, once in a lifetime washer, yes I would pay the $1200 international shipping charges, but I can't spend that kind of money for something I wouldn't even want to keep. I do enough around here without having to drop everything and drive 650 miles to get a washer that I'm not even interested in. If someone is really interested in that machine they will find a way, if not there will be other machines in time. | ||

Sorry Robert I guess I misread things. Again, I jumped too soon. Well, hopefully someone will get it. If not well, there will be another time. That machine's just out of reach for most people I guess. | ||

Austin,
I am one of those who would give his eye teeth for these beautiful machines - but I can not afford to book another flight out of Munich to Canada, pick them up, drive to Fort Collins, Colorado, surprise my parents... Then drive down to Denver and fly back to Munich in time for my student's next class. Wish I could. If I were independently wealthy I would. Guess these are just lost to us. Who took the great pictures? Was awful nice of them. I had been assuming it was Robert until he pointed out that it was 14 hour round-trip. | ||

Gosh
Doesn't it kill your soul when something so great is so far away? Robert, thank you for continuing to post these opportunities. I really appreciate the hard work you do, and the thoughtfulness you've shown. It is a shame that this machine may be an impossible case, but I know that it's happened to all of us in one way or another over the years. The comfort comes with knowing that something good is always on the horizon, and the excitement comes when you realize that you may not always know--or even anticipate in your wildest dreams--what that "something" might be. In the meantime, you do the best you can. :-) --Nate | ||

Oh come on, Bob, ain't nuthin with pank. It's a 50s color. Well I guess today is the sad day for that lovely 63 pair. The good news is Gregg's Unimatics are up on ebay. Someone who's Unimatic-less should get these. | ||

Well it appears that the machine hasn't been crushed yet, so if anyone really wants it now is your chance, maybe he can hold it for a bit... Robert - Thanks or the quick reply. Sorry to hit you with another picture, but that is the route for me to get out in my message process. We can stash the pink machine for a while, if there is a good chance someone could come and get it. Do your best to find a new owner; but give me an idea how soon that might happen, if at all possible. If it is really desirable, maybe some one could arrange for storage here until it could be taken away. I don't think getting an old washer across the border should be a problem - is that right ?
