Location, Location, Location Jesse, I have contacts in Butler, Pottsville, and Buffalo. One is a salvage yard that has an adjacent 'appliance graveyard' to it. One is an appliance repair place that keeps vintage stuff. The third is a metal recycler. On a side note, none of them will have working appliances. You have to understand that these vintage items were still quite common up to 10 years ago. My friend in Pittsburgh used to get one in a week. Now he might only get one in every 3-4 months. But again, these are be non-working. One member close to you in State College is SHARPLES. Check him out under the members section. I know you want a 1-18. Once very common, these are really getting to be as scares as hens teeth. I realize that Bob's place might be a little bit of a drive for you, but he's offering a free 1-18. When I was lucky enough to get my WI-57 & DI-57 from the original owners, I had to drive 10 hours each way. Best of luck in your search. | ||

keep checking craigslist near you that's where mine popped up, a couple months after I started looking. Haven't seen another one on there since and that's been two year.

1957 Frigidaire science-57 I was wondering if there is anyone who has the 57 unimatics would want to sell them. I would really like to find a good matched set of the control tower Frigidaire machines. If anyone has them and would consider selling them I would pay a very fair amount for them. | ||

1970s 1-18 machines are hard enough to find...
while control towers are far harder, very few are left, and 1:18s are rapidly joining them as machines that are rare as hen's teeth, you are very smart to search for one now while some are still around.
My Avocado washer/dryer pair was free from a good friend here in NY, the washer has a stuck clutch and cosmetic challenges so I'm parting it out for my Harvest Gold machine that came from Appliance Unlimited, via my great friend PhilR who went to the auction that I was unable to attend. When I was at AU about 3-4 yrs ago they also had a Poppy Red washer/dryer pair that I should have snapped up, but didn't due to room in the truck on the day we were there. It ultimately went to another member here, which is great. Jesse you might want to call AU, they still had a bunch of stuff after the auction and may still have something, or may have gotten some more in the last several years as they take trade-ins regularly. The owner's name is Hans, and he can be a bit gruff depending on the day, but he does seem to like the fact that appliance collectors appreciate and are preserving these machines. It's well worth a try. | ||

Thanks Ben, I stand corrected. GM must have gotten a deal on flashing! I always thought it was too bad they did not spend the money to match up the console to the badge on the front. They saved the pot metal for the pump, nuts and bolts.😉 | ||
