The coin-op Frigidaire looks like the ones on the Andy Griffith Show, when Andy bought a laundry. |

Very, very tempted right now to board a plane and fly out there to see all this for myself. Probably like everybody else here who missed Aberdeen I've been praying that another graveyard would show up in my lifetime. Just like a lot of members complain that all the "good stuff" shows up on the Least Coast, I'm going to whine about this being on the West Coast. Oh well...
Have fun! I know I would.
If you find any blue, copper or blue with metal cap GE Filter Pans, please, PLEASE, grab them for me, if you don't want 'em yourself. |

In 1986 I had a temporary job in Newton Mass at a Laundromat called Auburndale Coin Cleaners and it had all wascomats like that.The owner told me before that it was a Bendix Sunshine Center with all Bendixes. |

Is it only laundry equipment? I'd give my favorite body part for some Westy corox units. |

Those pink and blue Frigi's looks so elegant/decadent sitting there in their majesty, like something at the mansion in "Grey Gardens." Amazing.
But that stainless steel beast in #17. So striking, what is it? Hope Eddy doesn't see the once beautiful Speed Queen #19, like his still is, in such dire straits. Too traumatizing.
EDIT: Was gonna call this coin-op Heaven, but Purgatory would be more apt, certainly not Hell--it's way too cool for that! This post was last edited 12/02/2011 at 13:04 |

Some great commercial finds there. Especially the SQs and the Whirlpool. |

The Frigidaire coin-op machine in the first photo is the same as the one in the 8-plex apartment building my sister and brother-in-law lived in from 1967-69. This was in Sioux Falls, SD. I was 8-11 years old. Used it many, many times, as I used to stay with them for weeks at a time during the summer. Two dimes bought a half-hour of viewing time, LOL!
I recall the agitator cap was gone, and I was always amazed that it went from pulsating straight into the spin cycle with no pause. Funny, the things we remember... |
