My trip to DC yielded this 1964 Frigidaire WCD-64 washer from John's friend Robert. It was in very rough shape, quite rusty, broken cabinet frame, but was certainly worth hauling home as a parts donor...........

Jetcone and pulsator. These are NOT the original to this washer, but replacements. This washer would have had an older style pulsator.........These parts here are in pretty good shape and acutally came out very easily........

Multi-Matic transmission. Wonderful and facinating design, this one will make a good rebuildable unit and has a good intact pump on it too..........along with those pesky belts which are often hard to adjust........

This is the empty case after removing the mechanism. The outer tub had a hole rusted thru it at the top of the support tower, and was quite rusty at the top.

Washer top. I will save some of the parts from this, but not all. Most are in pretty bad shape. The timer and knobs will be saved, unfortunately the lid hinge was sprung and very chipped in spots..........

Good yield of usable parts.......bellows, rings, clips, hoses, etc. Invaluable when you need just the right part to restore a washer..........As Ive mentioned before, parting out just one washer can keep many more working for years!

It has 3 opening doors. The two doors on the left are the refrigerator section, and the right hand door is the freezer section.

The 1955 models had a pink interior. It was changed to a white interior in 1956 thru 1960.

I still want one of those.
The design concept of those wall-refrigerators is just sooo good. I still could use one now. The whole idea of the wall-refrigerator just seemed to blow right past the population. If I ever find one nearby I'm picking it up. Congrat. Tell us about the sealed-system - or are you just gonna rebuild it?

Another room divider installation. Can you imagine how strong the supports would have to be to hold this thing up?

This shows the built in look. I LOVE this look, but it takes a very special house to have this installed flush in the wall.......

Hi Bob, GE called it Canary Yellow. Since it hangs on a wall, I call it "high yellow". Just a joke!...........

Roll out freezers Just wanted to add that in the picture of the aqua wall unit it is mounted over two roll out freezers. Those were WAY ahead of their time. Does anyone have one of these in their collection? I would really like to see some good pics if you do! | ||
