The text: Here is a Frigidaire Washer & Dryer from 1965. These two pieces are in mint condition. There is not even a scratch on them. They are in mint condition! The washer is model #Wi-65 and dryer is model #DI-65. They have just been gone over professionally and have had new belts, hoses, fans, piping, etc. installed and tweaked up to work perfectly. They are porcelain and ceramic coated outside and inside as well. They have working lights on top as well which you can see in the pictures. This is a rare find in every way including their vintage blue color. Whether you want to use them for clothes, making a bar with them or showcasing them, they will look and work great for anything. A beautiful and very rare pair! Made by Frigidaire in 1965 in U.S.A. My thought: What is it worth going over a set like this top to bottom? If you're not interested in wrenching, or are unable, and you found and paid a quality shop to do the work for you, with parts, what might that add up to? Let's assume these are fully restored with all rubber bits, bulbs, seals, grease, etc. properly replaced with quality new components. I would ask the same as i see here, if not more. That's days of work not counting the cost of the set to begin with, plus hauling it around, and storing it. Seems if you have the money, love the set, and can somehow know the work is up to scratch, this would be a good buy. | ||

Sometimes you eat the bear & sometimes the bear eats you...
Can't fault someone who knows what they have and tries to get a maximum price. Such is the nature of a free market economy.
A week or so ago posted a like to a vintage Frigidaire washer going for $50 and it was gone in seconds. Then you have things like this..... If the seller is way off base price wise, those units will still be for sale months or years from now. Lord knows we've all seen clapped out rusted shells of appliances going for large money. At least here there is decent curb appeal. | ||

I wonder who did the restoration and how they found all the needed parts? It's not like parts for these machines are readily available. | ||

Nice Frigidaire Pair We have about the same pair at our Museum, it would be interesting to know how much was really done to them, I like " all belts were replaced " only the dryer has a belt, and only one at that. The dryer cabinet is not porclean but baked enamel.
On a more positive note they do look great [ I don't see anything wrong with the washers tub ] and if I were to put the time into making ours look and run like new I would certainly think $2000 is not an unreasonable price to ask. | ||

At today's exchange rates
It works out to $1521.14 in USD, to there is a bit of a discount. You'd still have to get the units down south however. However if someone has means of transport and lives close enough to that part of Canada it could have worked... That is if someone truly wanted the set.
Moi personally would require a quick on site testing before handing over that much money. If the units weren't connected then that would have to change. *LOL* | ||

 When I first saw this pair for sale (they have been on Kijiji for a while), I was quite enthusiastic about getting it as I badly want a Turquoise set like that.
But I wanted a set of Canadian-made machines and these were not. I wasn't very surprised by that because the 1965 Canadian Imperial dryers were no-vent only according to my literature (in the US, the Imperial series was vented only).
And while the seller had made me an interesting counter-offer, it was still way above my budget! I couldn't afford driving there and paying about 1/4 of the asking price. I'm poor, I have to deal with that! | ||
