Since I’m going around and taking a long overdue update to the photos of my collection, I thought it would be fun to create what I’m calling “Living Photos”. These are simply photos that let you explore the machines a little closer. See a washer you like and want to look inside? Well then take your mouse and just click on its lid. Want turn the controls, well then just click on it’s dial or other knobs. I’m going do the whole basement eventually in “Living Photos” but this is a good fun start. Here is the NW Corner of my basement, see if you can find all 26 clickable spots. CLICK HERE TO GO TO unimatic1140's LINK |

They are gorgoues close-ups. Ilove the little rinse "hanging chad" on the Whirli--what a huge tub; and the extended fins on the GE which insure kick-ass agitation. All your tubs look brand new!!! But I'm stumped..... that gorgeous red agitator with the cool ports on the plate and the wings. What machine boasted that gem. You kill me, you're so over the top. And Buford's killing himself. |

Robert, Are we gonna be able to click on the knobs and make them wash? That was fun. The Dryer tube looks like a "Whirlpool". Interesting dryer filter on the Philco. I have questions if you don't mind.. #1 On the 1958 Whirlpool combo...What happens when the water temp is set to OFF #2 Do you have the filter for the 1958 GE filter flow Jim |

Hi everyone and thanks, glad you enjoyed my silly “Living-Photos” LOL. I think this will be a new great feature to add to the site. Being creative with washers is easy because they are so much FUN Lot’s of great questions, if I miss anyone‘s question by mistake, just post it again Is there any way yet to click on the photo and morph the whole washer into my house? Hi Jerry, yes it’s called witchcraft, LOL But I'm stumped..... that gorgeous red agitator with the cool ports on the plate and the wings. Mike that came out of a 1956 AMC-Coronado (Beam style) machine that I found in 1997. I didn’t keep the machine in my permanent collection but I couldn’t let that beautiful agitator go You kill me, you're so over the top. Only my lint, dear. : I notice the Philco has a Water Saver button. Does it work like the one on the Wizard---you push it to stop the fill and start the agitation?Hi Eugene, yes exactly. If you look at the dial on the GE you will see the exact same button as well When will the program & button be ready so we can all have one? It’s on the ever growing to-do list Interesting dryer filter on the Philco.Jim in Minnesota when some says something is “interesting” that is code word for “bad”, such as “her shoes sure are interesting“.LOL And yes that Philco lint filter is very annoying to clean, having to pull that whole panel open, then pulling out that drum filter and trying to get the lint out of it. It works just fine, but not easy to clean #1 On the 1958 Whirlpool combo...What happens when the water temp is set to OFF? The Whirlpool combo wash time dial does not have a push/pull on/off feature. You set the water temperature dial to “Off” to stop the machine at any time. When I set the controls, I set it to Off, then I turn the timer to a 10 minute wash, then I select my water temperature. I must say that with Tide HE or vintage Dash this washer is an incredible cleaning machine. With a 29” diameter cylinder and with the water level not coming above the bottom of the wash cylinder (it washes with a heavy spray stream only) those clothes falling down the full length of the drum really SMACK those clothes clean. It’s a great machine for washing, just doesn’t spin (200rpm) or dry very well. At least they got one of the three parts of a combo working well #2 Do you have the filter for the 1958 GE filter flow? Why yes, of course, a Filter-Flo without a Filter Pan would leave me with just a “Flo” What application did you use to create it?Mike, I usually write most of my HTML by hand it's just quicker than dealing with any extra software, but since there is more math involved with this I popped that picture into Frontpage just to draw the outlines of the hotspots i agree we need to see that cool red agitator DO somethingIt’s on the to list David Does you nose twitch every time we click on this thing? Oh god I hope not, that would be like a gym workout for my nose and it would get even bigger. LOL |

Great stuff, Robert, you are indeed the "appliance master." I wanna be just like you when I grow up. You have help me show my S.O. that I'm not odd for my interests in this area. (But still plenty odd for everything else.) |

Thanks David for your help and I just found the other one as well. Rodrigo actually the best video of the my 1956 Thor branded but Bendix made Power-Surge washer is the one I made when I replaced the old hardened (due to age) rubber agitator disk with a brand new one. Everyone this video is 14mb so you might want to right click and select save target as... and download this to your hard drive, then watch it |
