Earlier this year I posted some items for sale, and thankfully everything found a home.
www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T...
I have a few appliances left that I'd love to see go to new homes. Email me at bswestka@gmail.com if interested (not sure why my AW mail isn't available).
First up - 1964 Lady Kenmore washer, in turquoise. I've decided I don't need a half dozen belt drives in the collection, so this one is on the chopping block. It was missing the 3 speed motor when I got it, in fact it was missing a motor completely! I threw a two speed motor in it to test and everything sounds pretty good. I suspect someone could clean this up and use it as-is (bearings sound OK), but I'd personally do a full bearing and spin-tube job on it to be on the safe side, with new seals. All buttons have the corresponding letters, which seem to go missing. Original agitator is in pretty good shape, and the timer advances just fine. Cosmetically it is in really nice shape and the tub has a shine to it. I'm asking what I have in it - $300 OBO. |

Next up - a 1967 Imperial Frigidaire dryer. This is a gas dryer and is in wonderful condition. I pulled it out of the original owner's home. It was purchased new and paired with a Control Tower Unimatic! It was still in use, and in fact had dried a load of towels the morning before I pulled it from the house.
I only have two photos of the dryer, but I can snap some more if anyone is interested. $50 |

Next up - a 1955 Frigidaire Combination fridge. This was originally sunny yellow, but it was shot with avacado at some point in the 70's. The paint is actually in really nice shape, however I wouldn't blame the future owner if they wanted to paint it. It cooled great the last time I used it, which was actually several years ago.
I believe I have an NOS cold control for the fridge. I really need this one to go, so I've got it priced to sell for what I believe I paid for the cold control. $25. Light bulbs are not part of the sale. :) |

Lastly - it's time for the '63 Frigidaire to go. I have replaced the outer tub with a minty one that has been sealed with POR-15. Unfortunately it has begun to leak transmission fluid (quite a bit) and the start switch will need to be looked at. Lastly, there are some scrapes and damage to the porcelain on the side of the washer, but the rest of the porcelain finish is in really, really nice shape on the top and front.
I hate to let this one go, but I can't save everything and I don't have time to give it the attention it needs. I'll throw in a new brake package and clutch assembly, a new timer, a spare motor; however everything within the drive section of the transmission has worked flawlessly.
Being sold as-is. Please know that this will need some service work which will include servicing the transmission. $250 OBO.

It'd almost be more worthwhile my moving to Iowa. I'd happily take all your goodies….I wouldn't mind having that Frigidaire combination, either…
'63 Frigidaire is a bit of a fetish for me, as some people already know

Bob,
I'm interested in the WCI-63, but don't have enough time saved up to drive for it. If it is available and you drive to get your dryer and would have room for the washer and wouldn't mind bringing it back, I'd gladly pay for your gas at the very least. Please let me know and I'll arrange payment with you and Ben. Thanks, Rich |

I just wanted to be sure that you really want to pass on this beauty. 1963 and especially 1964 are really difficult years to find. I was interested because I have an original turquoise/gray agitator for the machines made late 1963 through mid 1964 with multimatic transmissions. I did have a WCI-64, but it came with the rollermatic transmission and the jet cone agitator.
Thanks, Rich |

Yes…it is killing me because I do know how scarce they are. But, for peace at home-life, I have to back out. I'm lucky that I've not been raked over the coals for the 3 vintage refrigerators I've snuck into home already….Once we do our next move to another state and a larger home conducive to collecting this big stuff, things will be different!

Hi Swestoyz / "Ben". If any of the offers on either the Frigidaire washer ('63) or dryer ('67) fall through, let me know. Don't know if you remember but I have the match to the washer (a filtrator dryer). Just let me know. |

Good news - everything has sold! Well, with the exception of the green Frigidaire fridge. I'll more than likely need to haul that one off to the scrap yard.
Thanks again to everyone for helping me find new homes for everything in this posting, as well as the first posting!
Ben

Ben, if you really end sending the 1955 fridge to the scrapyard, I might buy you some parts from it. I have a single door 1955 Imperial Cycla-Matic and it's missing a few door shelves, one of the hydrators is missing a sticker and the butter conditioner door is broken. It's also missing the egg storage...
