And Ensconced!

YEHAW!

FOR DAYS!

Lets WASH!

they work like "butter"!
Sublime!

And the Cement is what makes it all happen! Frigidaires HAVE to be on CEMENT! No question!

Just beautiful Jon, I've seen them in person and they are just as pretty close up!

Congrats on the new cement underneath them as well, that makes all the difference in the world.

WOW They  look great Jon, I hope you are also going to have a cement base installed for the LKM gas combo so we can finally get it spinning smoothly.

Someone asked if this was a vented dryer or condenser dryer, All Frigidare TOL dryers from 1950-1960 were electric and no vent air-cooled condenser machines. And about the stability of these machines, Frigidare washers had less vibration problems after 1961 as they reduced the max spin speed and went to a wider 27" cabinet that year. But all the original Uni-Matics were just 25" wide and needed a good solid floor for best vibration free spin performance.

NOW I want MORE concrete and its going to happen. 
Thank you Laundress, after get over being "stunned" you'll have to come  out to see them when I do the open house this spring!

Cheers

Ben- the Blackstone definitely gets cement and runs like a top now too!

Rich- good eye there, they do change 'color', if I may, in various light, never seen that kind of behavior in a major appliance before.

like that a lot, more magic from these jewels. But the vision of all that chrome trim in # 3 "Oh my Lord in heaven!"

Jon, how about a tub shot, or is that still under restoration?

The washers are okay, but how is that cute little boiler doing?

Who is the BIGGEST JETCONE IN THIS PICTURE !

Can you see we all think like washers and how where coming towards you like clothes for the rollover lol.

Jon There SIMPLY STUPENDOUS !!!

TRULY MARVELS !

V I D E O ?

Now if we can see that lighted EASY would be great lol.

Best to you and GOOD LUCK ON THE PAIR.

Darren thanks for posting it I had forgotten about it.

Todd thanks for the suggestion, but fortunately the drinks are both sitting on porcelain top machines so no damage should occur, but I do make them use coasters for Bloody Marries as the acid from the tomato juice can etch the porcelain finish LOL.

great picture THANKS DARREN!

Next time you're up here you gotta come see these!

Supersuds--you crack me up!!!

Roger, I don't want you to get your hopes up to high... that is where he's from.   He's actually outside of Boston.  

Sorry Jon (ducking to avoid flying objects..........)  

:-)

Enjoy, Rinse to Dry!

No daydreaming and straight 100's! This is FABULOUS!

A GOLDEN PULSATOR. OH MY GOD !!! Never-- ever-- seen or heard of one. Tell the story, please. And here I though you were hiding a blemish with no money shot yesterday.

You were saving the glory for another surprise, and I'm now eating a whole humble pie.

Wait till amycbs sees this; she'll have her segment in spades.

I liked how you either used the small load for the rinse or advanced the tower clock pointer for early agitation.

You get the Oscar, Mister. It was worth the wait. Many thanks, Jon. If only I had stayed in the crate--that wicked tempter Louis

I think the cement shows them off pretty well. The golden agitator was the last year before color came to "live water action". But I'll bet there were a few '57's that were assembled with '58 pulsators in color!! We need to keep looking!

I can't get over how stable the machines are in the cement, at the end of the video you can see how the machine is at top speed and the cabinet and tower are not even vibrating. Unbelievable when you think of the engineering.

Congratulations, I just love that Golden Agitator!

Great viedo Jon this may be your best yet, I am giving it a A+   LOL.

What makes the rubber parts of the agitator so orange to golden in color ? These parts were originally light grey and on mine they have all turned a dark grey color, but yours look great, is it the lighting or was it all the nicotine that they were exposed to?

nicotine for sure. Thats why the chrome is so pristine as well. Heavy smoking may be bad for people but its good for Frigidaires!

So there are no original golden agitators, unless we all start chain smoking ciggies again? How nuts is this: the most beautiful pulsator is a tobacco side effect!

EDIT: I forgot, Louis: your Hamburger made my belly wiggle.

You should have seen the rest of the house. Yes there was that much nicotine everywhere, she smoked to death. Her husband died in WWII and she never remarried or had children, that's why these are such low use machines. I'll put up a picture of just how much lint I cleaned out of the dryer, and BTW these dryers are famous for collecting lint. She did "undies in sundies" only!

She had a nephew and a niece who cared for her and inherited the estate. When I came on the scene it looked as if the investment guy had run off with the cash and the estate was strapped. So they took my offer gladly, what was nice was after I got there it turned out the investment guy did not run off with the cash so the nephew and niece got it and the house was sold just after I left. The house was a complete gut or better tear down. The white walls were the color of the agitator!! My friend Phyllis had to step outside for air frequently!

I'll have a spring open house so I'll give you advance notice. 

Jon

Citizen of Humanity jeans in them -like buttah! Now they are DAMP DRY For the IRONRITE!!!

No dryer needed for these babies!

thanks for backing up my theory, SOME people in  a remote area of the "Netherlands" think I'm crazy!!

you Mister G will be golded soon enough!!

after a few loads the "gold' is starting to wear off and give way to 1957 gray, you & Mike better get here soooner!!

you will be slapped,----- and for your cheekyness Mike shall be slapped too!

but for me, the gold pulsator has been the mystery and the prize of 2011. When, oh when, will we get the truth?

I'd go back to the crate in a second to get the REAL story.

Look closely at the pulsator. It is perfect. There is no patch, no smear, no line, but totally uniform gold. How is this possible, unless the lid were kept open, the washer never used, and smoke being blown constantly into the machine from all sides with the same force. Now how is that possible?

But Jon sounds sincere in his explanation. What if ciggie smoke is indeed so powerful that it can perfectly dye alien gray rubber into a flawless stunning gold? Why would he keep the truth from us? If in fact he manufactured or somehow procured a golden agitator, wouldn't he admit it so that he would then become more powerful than even Mother Superior, Sister John Combo, herself.

You guys are just to much, but this is just a secret that Mickeyd and I know about but when my 1957 control tower pair come back from Smittys shop in gleaming charcoal they will have turquoise rubber agitator parts. After all Mother Superior has a big reputation to uphold here and will NOT be outdone.

you've been waiting for. And don't listen to Mother Superior, turquoise was NOT  a '57 Color!! And she can have Smitty gussy up her machines with all the charcoal paint he can muster, still won't be PORCELAIN!!!

if you please

I misspelt DeMille!

It's 20 to 12 here and that's what I'm doing. The tub is spectacular, and yes Jon I see some gray peeking out of the gold. Amazing what nicotine (sp) can do.

I have a turquoise penis.

Clue to Hwhat???

-raising hand......

Jon gave the "clue" away when he posted the miracle shot in #87 which he has kept secret for so long because it shows the gray coming thru the nicotine stain. But I could be the Monkey's Uncle here--all wrong; it's happened before.

compare the nicotine to nicotine free agitator >> 1/12/12

 

you can see quite a difference, sorry Mikey they never did make gold agitators. Jet

You'd love doing laundry in charcoal! 
No Louis actually the opposite my water is very soft here. Its just slowly wearing or washing off the residue . 

The power of Rosalie's!!

Faye! I don't think I've ever gotten a 100 replies to a thread I started before this!
