nice set you got there.....
after surgery in 1995, my brother built me a base like that for my dryer, granted not as tall, and way before pedestals ever were thought of....as I wasn't able to twist and bend at the same time to unload..... probably the best invention ever for dryers.... dont know why this was never thought of earlier.... | ||

I do like that pedestal..... A LOT. Height works wonders. The bathroom sink needed to be replaced. Landlord let me pay separately to have the installer mount it higher. 42" Yee Ha!!! | ||

Frigidaire 1-18 W&D Hi Jeffery, Some time you should see and hear my 1-18 washer, Jason and I insulated it to the point it is almost silent.
It might be time to do the same with a FD 1-18 dryer, although I have never been that motivated, LOL unlike a lot of the appliance collector guys I don't have to have matched sets and WP built so many great dryers in your great state.
Jeff, I recently got a Westinghouse pre WW2 Westinghouse Empress Ironer that is in great shape including the owners Manuel , I bought it in a weak moment and it needs another home as I already have more Ironers than I need, are you possibility interested ?

 That's a close-enough match to the washer, most wouldn't ever notice. They'll be staring at the pink Westies anyway - wow!
I've never had a Frigidaire 1-18 dryer. Nice find for both, great price.
In the Maytag laundry design guide, about 67-ish, they elevated the H-O-H dryer on a pedestal. Never tried one until I bought the Duets around 2003 or so. Westinghouse made the "Taller"washer and dryer in the mid 60's?

Yogi, it was thought of before
One of the Westinghouse engineers in the neighborhood, his wife had the WH top loader and the "Higher Dryer", which is like today's front load pedestals. If this did not exist, then I must have a very vivid imagination.
There are some products I kind of remember but am not sure of. For example, was there a Beatles hairspray? Did it actually exist or just a figment of my imagination? | ||
