The '58 was my Frigidaire 'dream set' for years. Guess I liked the look of the console--especially the rectangular cycle dial. Plus the people two doors down from us had one. They hated it for the tangling issue you mentioned and I tried to get my parents to trade our '60 Kenmores for the Olsons' set. No dice. My extreme case of Frigidaire envy began at that moment, LOL.

This was another set that I once had and sold off to someone. The set I sold like these was pale yellow. |

That is my #1 dream set. Somehow, I found the dryer in white within driving distance from my home. It runs, but I haven't used it beyond a few seconds of testing because I want to take it apart, clean everything, inspect all the parts, and lubricate bearings before putting it into occasional service. I don't want to run a machine for which parts support does not exist without first getting an understanding of its condition and nipping any problems in the bud.
The washers are more elusive. I try and keep track, and I believe there are 5 TOL 1958 Frigidaire dryers, and 3 WCI-58 washers in the club. I think there are 2 white dryers, 1 turquoise, 1 charcoal, and 2 pink ones, but I could be mistaken. Regarding the surviving washers, I believe there are 1 each in white, charcoal, and turquoise. Not that I really really want a WCI-58 or anything... Dave |
