Yes Austin I know your birthday isn’t until the end of August but your birthday present is officially on its way to Texas. I want you to have this extra WO-65 that I restored last month. I already have a WO-65 and I certainly don’t need two of them so I want it to go to a home that I know will love and cherish it for years to come. You are a wonderful member of this club and we are very lucky to have young people such as yourself and Jamie and others so young interested in these fantastic old machines. Your parents were wonderful enough to arrange the shipping, so its on its way, it left here this morning. When I was 17 I would have passed out right there and then to be surprised with a working 1952 Frigidaire washer. Heck with a 17 year old getting a Unimatic that means there is a chance of a Unimatic washer still running in the 22nd century. How fabulous is that! Anyway enjoy and please post pictures when you bake your first Unimatic Suds Cake! Here is how it looked before it left for its journey this morning, hopefully it will arrive in the working condition that it left here, but if not I have no doubt you will having it up and running in no time flat. |

an idea for your birthday. (I think a lot of the wonderful club members would agree.) Don't open your new washer packaging until your actual day is here. Think you could do it? How wonderful to see such beautiful machine going to such a wonderful home! Congrats! Robert, what a guy, you are a very sweet person. Steve |

You are very welcome Austin, enjoy. You will not need HE or expensive low-suds detergent anymore, a Unimatic just laughs at suds that choke most other washers. No modern washer could ever handle suds so well or get the wash done so quickly. It is an amazing machine! But please do remember to be careful around that machine during spin, a Unimatic doesn't take "no" for an answer when it comes to spinning. |

Way to go, Austin. There's nothing like spending teenage years washing away in a Unimatic! Leave the lid open & throw some article of clothing in & watch it go! It's a real Woo-hoo Congrats again, Jerry |

Hi Venus, Not to worry, it really isn't that hard to do a convention, just takes some planning and the memories are well worth it. Let me know and I will be glad to come and help you all. Terry |

My Brother lives near Houtson (Angelton). So help is on the way. Austin, how are you feelin before the 27th? Have you decided to not open the packaging until then? I have Glenn going to check up on you and make sure it is held until then!!! LOL OK Steve |
