I have this machine in Coppertone. She's sturdy all right. One of my "daily drivers". A great machine! |

That's the washer my parents had when I was in high school. You are right, one of the most beautiful Frigidaires ever made. That lighted control panel will really light up the entire laundry room. You don't see many of these specific models available anymore, do you? |

I like the "Time-Line" type timer and "piano-key" type buttons. It certainly does a good overflow-rinse----must be five minutes long! |

"What's the difference between w'n'w Man Made & Delicate--just a slow agitation on delicate but normal on the other, but both with a warm wash? I imagine the other w''n'w is hot wash." I'll have to leave this question to Steve since both of the water valves were sticking during the handful of washes I put through it 11 months ago, but I believe you nailed it. |

God, so beautiful. Isn't it amazing how much they actually tried to put effort into making these machines look like something you'd gladly have in your living room, and even brag about to company? Nowadays, most machines end up hiding in the dark corner of the basement and are styled such that they look like they belong there. Blecch. |

That's a beautiful washer. Brings back memories of my mother's 1963 Custom Deluxe washer that was used for over 30 years until the outer tub rusted out. Someone on Craigslist- SF in San Mateo had a 1963 Custom Imperial for sale two years ago. |
