I think....
those are probably taking up the most room in your garage right now and I understand you wanting to make more room since winter is coming. You probably want to get a car in that garage, right? Well I'll help you out and be right up to get these beautiful coppertone Frigidaires out of your way. Your car will thank you! (and I will too!) Patrick in close by Portland | ||

Very nice machines and in such wonderful shape. The avocado Kenmore is one of my favorite models of theirs, too. | ||

Wow! Lighted Controls too! These look like an easy restore job. Just a bit of rust scraping and a repaint I think. These were a wonderful find! Congratulations to ya! | ||

Congratulations on saving these Brett!! They look to be in very nice original condition. It so happens that this was my very first washer and dryer. (mine were white though) I had them until the late 1980's when the washer transmition bit the dust. Tried to get replacement parts but they were no longer available. I replaced the washer with a 1971 1-18, and used that machine with the 1963 dryer until about 2001. The control panels looked like they should light up, but mine never did. I think only the Imperials lit up, but not the Deluxe. Have fun with those! Rick | ||

Another Multi-tragic!
Very nice set! No lights on these, but still, what style for the laundry room! John in MD has a set of Custom Imperials (TOL) in his basement that are just breathtaking. By 1963, the 850 Rapidry feature was gone, too much trouble making the shifting fork and pulley system work for the high speed spin. 710 rpm was still impressive for any washer of it's time though... | ||

Congrats on the great set!!! You'll have fun with these! You mentioned about the 1-18 replacing the Neptune...what happened to the electronic Lady K's you had? Or was that not your laundry room? | ||

Yes I agree Bob, the best thing about these machines is the washing and rinsing, in 1963 and 1964 Frigidaire removed any Rapidry spin from their machines and brought it back in 1965. These models spin at 710rpm, which was still the fastest spin speed available during the '63-'64 years, just not fast enough for us here.
