"Holy Saturday, Batman," they work!

Well, this really happened Thursday, but I got busy they way we all do. And I'm out of sinc with my buddy, G, because he reported a tragedy that day. So sorry. G!

I have a crippled pusator that is finally starting to tear after 3 years of trouble free use. Our friend Mark Michaels sent me two Energy Rings, aka the big bottom fins. As it turns out, what he sent are really the bottom stage of the jetcone rockets, which are smaller in circumference and taller in height. They've been sitting in the garage all winter, but just before I put the 62 to sleep I tired the new ring, and it did not seat properly and seemed to skip or miss a beat during the test. So i left it. Then when the weather became spectacular Thursday, I did it over. This time it seated and settled perfectly. It's neat to see the beatiful Frigidaire tub screws now partially exposed and the higher rise of the ring.

I tried a load--two 2X6 huge thick bath towels, a terry robe, a t-shirt, 2 pair socks, 3 face towels, 2 hand towels--and the turnover was terrific, but I got greedy and added a thinner cotton robe, and she slowed a bit. The clothes on top wait for a second before they plunge, exactly the way I remember our 66 rollermatic working the load.

A good friend told me they may not work. I told him he could have the extra one if they did. They are very heavy and stiff and seem indestructible, much thicker, harder rubber than the older version. What a nice big Easter egg for that guy who gave me a bellows one day.

I only have the pic of the alien. Please wait for my new camera. I just opened the door at the end of the kitchen to the garage and heard that heavenly "NOT-KERPLUNK" sound the Multi makes after the minute of rest after the DRY phase. It's the clutch going back to the low speed spin position--or so i think;-> Perfect timing; it's going to be a good night. A Big Happy Easter and Passover to all the wonderful people of our club.

Checkrate/Likes *Nice to see you up and about* Hope your back is all better. Relieving to know that Rollermatic agitators will fit the Unimatics & Multimatics, but you probably already knew that. I didn't. Imagine there are more of the newer version around. Yes?

Checkrate/Likes *crazy about the 62 again* The flush of the rinse on top of the spin at full speed--no pause The subtle chug of the pump, faster & louder than the Uni's DARREN, here's the pic of the brass 4 tap with leevers;-> real easy to switch off &on with their little brass toes. They cost about 20 bucks apiece and have a wide hand twist main valve coupler with two wings. Very easy to install, no pliers necessary.

Checkrate/Likes *Hi Darren* You don't have to look, old pal. I talked to our friend John and he told me how to shut off the 60 LK. When you push the desired cycle button up or down to start the machine, it pops back to the original position. So if you push the button up during the cycle, the machine shuts down and the hidden timer clicks, buzzes, and whirs to off. How cool is that! Night time mechanicals for you: The Blackstone trap looks like the one from the Bendix the other day, eh?

Checkrate/Likes *How fun -* My WO-65 had a bite missing from the pulsator, it didn't cure the tangling but would have been funny if it did!

Checkrate/Likes *Can't wait Darren, Thanks~~Here she is Jed, in her majes* Love how they doubled the size of the inlet of the narrower Uni flume. Don't know when though. Did all Unis have the narrow flume, and the big one arrived only with the Multis?

Checkrate/Likes *Thanks, Arthur, and you're welcome* Yeah, and it makes a really cool sound like a muted Niagara Falls. I'll try to catch it with good volume control and no talking :) in the next flick. If you like water noises, the Multi makes a good one.
