Or should I say, come to papa the king of all outdoor fire pits!

Looks like the pics loaded in reverse order, the ‘Memento’ of posts.


I know Turquoise Dude wanted some parts cause all his projects are finished, up and running, and sold... so he has nothing really to do right now and lots of empty space...emiright?

Anyone else? Especially near San Diego and can swing by and pick them up?

Part two soon as the sun moves into a cooler position...

Projects finished

More like they'll finish me... LOL   However, I am pleased to say last year's work on my 57 Filtrator is holding!  It's the only dryer that has now been in continuous service for more than a year in the Ogden laundry (due to me swapping stuff around, honest...)

 

But seriously, there is someone on the board who was in search of a Frigidaire dryer motor...  I just can't recall who it was...

Motor ....

was me. I found one!

Could use that spoked pulley and its shaft plate off the back though! Also the door latch and pedal assembly.

Those Filtrator dryers must be HEAVY, even more heavy than my 1963 Whirlpool Imperial dryer and 1973 Maytag DG306.

Has anyone claimed the heating element? If not, I'd be interested in it if you didn't mind shipping the assembly.

That drum would make a great fire-pit if no-one needs it, Eugene at Lorian Furniture & Appliance  has been making and selling fire pits fro old washer baskets for years.

Sorry it has taken so long.
Anyone need parts off this?
I saved all the smaller stuff. A couple of people contacted me some time ago about some parts, but i don’t know if they are still interested.
Let me know if you are, i only have about 4 weeks left here then i am gone.

The last of this machine remaining went out in the mail yesterday.
The hardest part to let go of was the perforated drum. Makes a fantastic fire pit and i sold it for that purpose to someone the day before memorial day.
I wanted it for that use but felt i had to get rid of most everything i can to pull this move off in the time i have left.
Some of the metal will become art work, and other bits a box for the back of a motorcycle apparently.
