You'll be hard pressed to find anything that will beat your A606 (besides an A806). Frigidaire's are great machines, but they are kinda like old foreign sports car. Highly complicated, somewhat unreliable because of their complex design and application, a pain in the ass to work on, expensive to service, had to find parts, special tools that are near impossible to locate, and technicians who know how to service them are next to impossible to find. But when these machines work and function correctly, they pretty much blow the competition out of the water as far as performance goes. To have the best of both worlds, use the A606 for a daily driver and the future Frigidaire for fun. In my humble opinion, with dwindling supply of parts and their availability, all Frigidaire washers should never be used as daily drivers. | ||

If you could choose, which would be a better base unit for computer control, a 1-18 or a rollermatic? Assuming one can redesign the pulleys to boost the speed of a 1-18, would that work, or is the overflowing rinse of the the rollermatic the way to go for really good wash/rinse? | ||

Yeah, stop by anytime. I'm usually around only on the weekends, it's a part time gig for me. I shop SVDP, and Salvation Army, haven't seen much worth picking up. Speaking of Radio Furniture Mart, I had 2 uncles that worked there as deliverymen, up to the end. Also, my father in law, brother in law, and wife's grandfather all retired from Bendix, along with my grandfather. If I get any early Frigidaires in, I have a waiting list for them! I haven't seen one in years, and my contacts are looking for them, too. You might try a place called Berts appliance, out on McKinley, almost to Osceola. He has the contract with Sears for sure, and has a big dumpster out back. He only sells later model stuff, he may get an early Frigidaire in, and throw it away. Now if you needed a BD Whirlpool, or an unusual Norge..... | ||

Thanks for the link about Berts, I'll have to drop by there, if I can negotiate the chuck holes on McKinley. | ||

Mark's machines Your machines look great Mark. I like the panel for the 1-18. The '65 rollermatic looks nice. Is it really a daily driver? | ||
