You can install these almost anywhere when you get the No Vent Filtrator Dryer.

 

I just finished hooking up these machines that I have had for many years, The washer was rebuilt about 25 years ago then sidelined after about 10 years use. The dryer  has been used durning cold weather on and off for the last 25 years.

 

I have taken the old office in my basement and am converting it to an ancillary appliance space, it will have three pairs of vintage appliances all hooked up and ready to use.

 

In addition to the 62 CIs I am installing a pair of 52 Unimatics and a restored pair of 52 Whirlpools Gas dryer and Sudsmiser washer all hooked up with a Sudsaver sink.

 

This room will also have about 12 electric ranges hooked up and ready to use or demonstrate.

Very very nice all that you mentioned John. I'd love to see all the ranges too when you get everything situated.

I remember seeing this set for the first time at your house, IRL as had only seen them in ads.  They are breathtakingly beautiful.  The angled panels, lights and of course, all those buttons.   John's basement held lots of treasures when we were there in '01 for the convention.   Now I can't wait to see your new basement appliance display, are you keeping the 60's Frigidaire refrigerator with the tap-to-open door?  That was a wonder to see for the first time too.

Beautiful set! Glad to see you still have a passion for these restorations! I need to come for a visit again. It’s been too long.

BEAUTIFUL MACHINES

John:

Can't wait to see the "New" basement. I'm overdue for a visit - Hope I can make it in the Spring.

These are lovely John,

I remember seeing these in 2016 and if i remember correctly, asked if i could buy them off you to transport back to Australia.

I can certainly understand why you politely declined!

Cheers
Leon

Both sets are beautiful.

John, both sets are equally nice but the '62 set certainly is stunning. Hoping to see the museum and collection some day.

By chance is this an early build '62 with the four speed setup, or the mid-year revised using the 63/64 two speed motor and transmission?
