well its my turn to get rid of 2 of my kids too. when one comes in one must leave. and i made a promise to myself that once i cant get the car in the garage its time to sell some off. so i have listed my 65 frigidaire set on ebay the item number is 3878947630 and if i wernt so blond i could figure out how to add a link to that page. so forgive me, but the kids really are in great shape and look forward to having a good home. i know someone here will take good care of them.

the washer doed kick into a high speed its fun to listen to i always liked that part.. the acid wash on the enamel takes the surface off so that the paint will stick and stay on.. i wasnt sure how to do it until one of the body shops we use at work told me what to do and it works. the both are white i dont know why they look pink must be the dim might in the garage

ahhh....you painted the dryer. I was wondering where you got the turquoise door-opening button. Looks like you did an outstanding job. That is a beautiful set. I had a similar model washer from 65 in coppertone for many years. The only difference I think is that mine had the wash/rinse temp combined on one dial, so there were three knobs instead of four. Mine was not a rapid dry model. After starting to spin on low speed, it would kick in to a high speed of, what was it? 710? Did a great job and as with all GM Frigidaires was great fun to watch. |

I wonder who the buyer is? Hopefully he's in the club and the set won't be "lost forever". Sorry that you didn't win 'em Steve. Same goes to Mark. Maybe next time... |

The machines are,like anything else, worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them. Right now the 1950's and 1960's items are very hot. This club,along with the on line auctions have contributed to the great increase in prices. However that is not really a bad thing. Good buys are still out there for everyone. You just have to get out there and find them,and do the hard work of the restorations. Or pay the price for the ones that are restored. That is not unreasonable! People have been doing this with classic cars for decades. I bought this 1965 Kenmore set at a church sale three years ago for $10.00 each.And they were only worth $10.00 in the condition they were in. They have been fully restored.What would they be worth today?? Rick |

One of my friends painted this set. He works for a new car dealer body shop,and does paint work on my cars also. It cost $50.00 to paint both of these. I had stripped the appliances down to pieces. Only the "shells" were taken to the body shop.My friend Tim did all the prep and paint work. The Kenmore dryer is electric. Rick |

My mind has been blown away! I can't imagine. I actually thought about bidding on this set. Thinking St Louis is only 8 hrs away. I could start a collection. Think I will have to stick with collecting the DVD's and dreaming. WOW! |
