I remember standing outside an appliance store in Cocoa, Florida and seeing a poster of this ad with a motorized teddy bear that was turning "somersaults" in front of the picture of the agitator and the scene around it. |

I was surprised to see the "clam shell" console on a '61. I thought that was exclusive to the '63. I would imagine the '62 console is similar...right?
I really love how drastically the designers changed the consoles every year or two. Their parts inventory must have been crazy-huge. By contrast, I bought my front-loading Frigidaire pair in 2002, upgraded to the TOL dryer in 2004, then bought the top-loading washer in 2006. I can interchange every knob/dial on any of the three machines. They're all identical. In fact, they didn't change anything cosmetically on the rear-control machines 'til a few months ago. |
