The farm is gone. If you want to find vintage appliances, look on Craigslist. |

That auction in November was indeed a liquidation of the vintage items they had - however, there were still a few machines (a couple of Maytag washers and dryers, IIRC plus some early GE refrigerators) left. The website may not reflect the actual inventory anymore, though.
Keep an eye on this forum for members who are looking to sell or trade machines also. If anything bad befalls me, Hubby has been mandated to announce items from my collection here first... |

I would prefer any 60s model Frigidaire besides the 1-18., but any solid tub machine would be awesome. My great grandma had one when I was a kid with the glass window on the lid. I used to love watching that thing wash. It would be awesome if I could find one like it. |

If any of you guys ever decide to sell or trade one, please let me know. I would really love to have one, it would bring back some great memories. |

Rollermatic (Pete) mentioned recently that he may be selling some of his Frigidaire Rollermatic washers in the future. I don't know if he visits this site much anymore, but you may want to try contacting him. I don't see him often, but may stop in where he works in the next few days. |
