A friend showed an old house today and sent me these pics. What would be the age of the washer and range? I wouldn’t mind the range for myself but would pass the washer onto any interested parties here. I don’t even know if they work or what they’re worth.

Look again, Robert ~
That's the double rinsing WO- 65, pre-dating the WO-65-2. The pilot light and the dial are dead giveaways. I spent my infancy and toddlerhood in front of one.
Avid watchers see Unimatics for sale from time to time. Lucky enough to own two of them, one of which has a working bellows thanks to a poster in this thread who requested anonymity. | ||

Frigidaire Unimatics are still my favorite all-time washers. They only had a couple of minor deficiencies. The ones from the early 1950's tended to tangle clothes and often didn't do a good job with sandy clothes. Both of those issues would be remedied in subsequent models. Can anything match the experience of watching the spin that starts with a full tub of water? I always thought that these machines must have a very torque-y, powerful motor.
