First, the Phabulous Philco: Jimmy's machine is the Washerboy's equivalent of a Choir Monks' Wet Dream. After the wash pause which is GE-esque in length, it begins the wonderful drain-spin combo dance, but FLAPPER IS STILL GOING !!!!! So, the wash cycle, people, is still in session. Unbelievable. Now here's where the dream begins. The wash/spin/drain lasts for about a half minute, then it pauses briefly. Now it resumes the flapping spinning draining with a huge waterfall spray rinse. Next is where the dream gets wet: this flap, spin,. drain, spray REPEATS, then again, three or four times. Comatose by the, I can't really say. Start the circular and up&down water currents |

Now does this rotate one way or oscillate two ways? I never could tell! :-) |

We had to sneak this shot when Jimmy left the room, because the lid is not supposed to be open for this part of the cycle. Here's what happens in a Kelvi rinse. After the agitated overflow, the agitation stops for a long decadent full blown overflow, where the tub actually fills beyond what the upper tub slits can take away. Then the agitation starts, as as you can see, there is so much water rocketing about that the sheets are now invisible. How do you like that sea horse, Baby Dolls, with that frog trying to lap him up at about 1 & 2 o'clock. |

To hear the sugary drawl of Gyrafoam juxtaposed with the intoxicating lilt of Chestermike was phonemic heaven for old cracked English teacher like me. Gyra: Blackjack told me that Mickey said you'd need a mountain and a locomotive and a Swiss bank to conquer the likes of Jon, Robert, Mark, and me, and good luck cuz yud loooooze anywaaaay. Chester: Jimmy told me Mickey's a bit loose, his lift not goin' to the top. Me, I think 'is lif's thru the fokin' roof, meself. Cheers! |

Wild rumors are circulating that Steve and Mike are not gay There's three Mikes here and a Jack from England, Mike on the right, Mike on the left, Jack in the middle, and Mike behind the camera, And what a blast Jack was, a gifted videographer, can't wait to see his flix. These guys were great. We had so much fun;'D |

Hi Mickey, I was just wondering do you know if Jimmy would have any spares from the Philco? I have an Aussie made "Healing/Thor Goddess" which is a Philco made under licence. It needs a new agitator boot and disk...so far, my contacts here in Oz have not been able to help. Ive also sent an email to Robert, so will see if he can help, but thought as Jimmy has one, he may have some spares. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Leon |

Remember Poe's Raven with someone tap tap taping at my chamber door and the Tell-tale Heart with something pounding under the floorboards driving the both guys crazy? Well above the din of all the people talking and eating and moving in Jimmy's giant garage--you've heard of double garages?--well, Jimmy's is a quadruple or quintuple or more--it's enormous and wide open. Despite all of that noise and space, above it all was a pounding, a hammering, someone's fuggin' madly. Two submarine's are copulating. I exaggerate only slightly. You could hear this all over. I thought of sweet old Eleanor, a wonderful maiden colleague who left just as I began my career. She said that lottle men were banging inside her head. If you're listening, Dear, I now know what you meant. Here is the giant phallus causing all the ruckus |

When I won a raffle and had to pick a vacuum, I had to sit down, not knowing what to take. They waited patiently, and told me to go for the Hoover Concept. They gave me the best pick, and were so gracious, I'll never forget it. I made new friends, and learned something VERY BIG. Cyberspace limits us. Even though some people were just as I fun as you'd expect, a few others whom I didn't really care especially for turned out to be amazing and became my best friends. Therefore, the few you think you don't like will be the ones you love the most. |

Brent, I'm so glad I went. What they say is true: these events are non-stop elevations of heart. Leon, Steve or Jimmy told me that Mark Lightedcontrols knows someone who has the mold to make the boots. In time, you'll be in luck! Steve, meeting and chatting with you was wild and a highlight of the tour. Goblue, the enhanced Kevi shot is for you. |

Now for some spooky bedtime nonsense. The actual photo of this shot has a two-headed being at exactly 9 o'clock, but close to the center. The real photos are smaller than our posted versions, so I'm going to guess at the size since I don't know it. IT TOOK. CAN YOU SEE THE FACES BETWEEN THE RACKS? One is facing us, and hooked to it is another facing right. I knew I'd catch an alien and a spirit sooner or later. Halleluia!!!! Sweet dreams, Buddies!!!! ;'D XXOO Mike |

I only inferred undulation because small rays swim fast and a school of them looks like 20 or 30 of what I saw in your basement. Now seeing what the engineers actually call it confirms the inference. The huge Manta Rays swim slowly, but the curve of their wings is a dead ringer for the curves in the Philco, and their wings are BLACK, just like your Philco. If I had access to the video of small rays swimming, it would be hysterical and enlightening. Interesting, the other color rays come in is gray, just like fins under the black ones. Someone at Philco was a Manta lover. The large Mantas allow divers to grasp their cape to hitch a ride; I hope to do so before I die. I have love them all my life. Thank you so much for your spectacular wash-in. It was pure heaven for me. If ever there was a dream machine, it is the Philco Undulator. THREE OR FOUR slow spin full-flush sprays undulating with pauses between--ECSTASY. At first, I truly thought I was "seeing things." And to have this happen after the wash and the rinse--INSANE. One can only imagine what happens during the Wash 'n Wear cycle. Care to share? |

EDDIE, Thanks, I'd love to have them too. If the fabulous two happen to come through, I'll grab the Philco and send the Kelvi on to Maine. MIKE, the famous blond lady had a pair of soiled white summer slacks, and they came out spotless. She wanted me to use cold water, but I used warm with Gain. JOEL sooner or later we'll get a movie, and then everyone will be howling to get one. The washing and rinsing are as good as it gets. Mark has the "Jukebox Hero" model, and I can't wait to see that too. |

Great pics and commentary Mike! This was such a cool machine to see in operation - and fascinating to know that it agitates and spins at the same time, thanks for posting that, Jimmy. That is so unlike the earlier models of the "flappers". The colors of the tub and the sounds are just wonderful! We all had such a great time at Jimmy's last Saturday, so good to see everyone again and enjoy Jimmy's spectacular collection. I took a short video of the Philco and will try to edit and post it this weekend. |

in person and press the flesh. You guys were a riot! Mike , I'm so glad you got home safe and sound. Did Jack get vids of the spray spinning undulations? Thanks for snappin' me with hose in hand. Forgot my mug is never here, just limitless water shots and too much verbiage. Thank you so much;'D. What an international Dude you really are! Jimmy, I'm coming back--you're 3 hours away--and you're welcome here any time. Greg, I had no idea you were so cute. Mike and Jimmy--better "me eyes and me noggin than me nipples." |

Of course I'll come. What did the board suggest as possible venues for next year? I don't think I've ever seen a guy be so nice and warm and welcoming to so many people. And then Air-way Charlie, and then Morgan, and then Fred--you guys were amazing, the four chambers of the VCCC heart. That Hoover Concept One you guys gave me is like an elephant on a sea of peanuts, so powerful, and for the Washer Folk, the vacuum haas a "Quadraflex" Agitator--a washer-vac! What a riot. You're so like us with your cleaning contests and torquing up the machines. What a wonderful spectacle it was. Thanks again, Terri, for extending your welcome of all of us Aworgers. |
