Very Cool Video! So I take it that it is a dual tumble. That spin is so darn fast! Looks like your machine is in such great shape! Fun! Brent |

I had two versions of this washer; one was an '88 Frigidaire (I think it was only briefly produced under that name), but I don't recall that one being a dual-tumble. It was a solenoid unit, with the loud CLANK going into each spin. I sold it after owning it for only one year, when I moved to a small apt. with no washer hookup. A few years later (around 1990-91) I had a Gibson front-control machine which, like this one, tumbled two ways. I remember the light-colored plastic ring around the opening came loose and would fall into the washer, getting tangled in the load. They were cool machines with plenty of splashy drama. And they have a tub light, which is nice. The spin speeds were not too fast, however; it only looks that way in the video. When I bought the first Electrolux-made Frigidaire (in 1996), I was amazed by the 850-rpm final spin speed. It only ramped up that fast during the last 60 seconds, which I thought was odd. 850-rpm is, of course, considered no great feat, these days. Enjoy your WW and thanks for posting the videos! |

Wonderful videos, these machines are fun to watch, especially the dual tumble models. I hadn't seen this rear control type before, at the convention in 2002 we saw a dual tumble model with front controls. BTW, that machine had a white on white design. Great find, are you going to watch out for a matching dryer?
