I have the owners manual for both. I will try to post the pics of both control panels. These are awesome machines! I have the dryer but I am still looking for the washer! | ||

Side opening lids
The main reason for the side opening lid was to have a place to put the clothes during loading and unloading.Some could be pre treated with Wisk(Ring around the collar)or some other type of stain remover and if you wanted or needed to,you could take some of your stained items out while washing and use detergent or Octagon/Fells Naftha bar soap to rub and scrub the dirt out.Once thefinal spin stopped,you could seperate the clothes that you wanted to hang or line dry from those you wanted to dry in the dryer or go directly to your IronRite for flat pressing.

WCI SactoTeddyBear, I read it not as WCI (White Consolodated Industries) as much as (W)asher (C)ustom (I)mperial, as in WCI-59, etc. Regardless, what beautiful, well designed panels. Today's machines should look so attractive! Davey | ||

Hi Kelly, The transmition these came with was a Multimatic. (Mulitragic to many of us that have tried to repair them once they broke down) A Rollermatic can be used as a replacement for the Multimatic, so that will be the transmition that I will be installing in my 1960 C/I These machines have very nice styling, and that is why this one deserves a restoration. | ||

"Before" and "After" pics are not the sa No idea who owns or owned the "Before" set, but the "After" set is mine, taken just after I had picked them up and repaired them........They are now in my basement laundry room......and certainly one of the most stylish sets that I own........ | ||

Jimmy- Thanks for the background info on how you acquired the set and took such great care to protect them. I'm sure you come across some wonderful things in your line of work and I envy that. I am a Frigidaire fan first although I appreciate most all vintage brands. I look forward to seeing more of your finds as you come across them. Patrick | ||
