WOOHOO!!! Way to go Jason...you did an AWESOME job on the videos!

I, of course, had fun, but the most important thing was that all of ya'll who traveled a long distance to get here did!!! And it shows it on here!

Well, time to put on the Aquarius record and fire up the 1-18 and Eureka 664A...

Thanks.

I'm using Pinnacle Studio 9 plus and there's a video effect called "Old film" which does what you saw on the second video. Also there's a "Grungelizer" setting which makes your audio sound like a phonograph. The Convention 2005 video was done in Adobe Premiere so if I can't make that work, I'll redo it in Pinnacle.

Pinnacle isn't without its faults. It likes to crash more than I'd like it to so I save often and be careful. Do something weird to the timeline or do too many things at once and it's the "Send Error Report" box for you.

How frustrating! I don't know what was worse...the "Send Error Report" box in XP or the old "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" box in 95/98!

My favorite scene of the whole movie.

Was Hayley and Clayton watching the Kenmore and the WW frontloader. That's how I got hooked when I was a child.

The "Woodstock" video looks much better (or worse) in person. You can't see the "flicker" or the static in the .wmv version. I'm gonna tweak the audio a little so it's not so annoying to hear, but still very scratchy just like an old record. Or better yet, try to find an old phono and CSNY album and record it direct :-) the real thing is always better than a simulation.

Classic Rock rules!

Great video footage, Jason! It's the next best thing to being there. Many kudos for your time, effort and talents.

I can't help but wonder what unsuspecting people who stumble across these videos at Putfile.com must think of them; "OK, there are washing machines and then a guy who vacuums near the washing machines and there's this trippy music playing..."

Yeah Frigilux, people must think we're followers of Timothy Leary! "Tune out and turn on", I always say! LOL

Jason, mon ami, what a wonderful job (as always)! Loved the crinkled super 8 effects! You brought me back in time to last week! This was so much fun! Steve's agitator dance was the highlight of the videos, but you didn't catch his other dance....the one he did when Hayley put the rubber snake on the laundry shed porch! LOL

Carol: Girl, if you don't make it to the next Texas mini, I'm personally going to trek to Pasadena and whoop ya! LOL Seriously, I'll have Corona waiting for ya!

Thank you to everyone who made the trip, filmed, and joined us in the merriment on the farm! :-)

Looks like this was truly a wonderful event, and I'm glad everyone had a grand time. Ironically, I was in (a much different part of) Texas over the same weekend, attending a holiday party. We had a wonderful time too, but I'm sorry the two events conflicted, particularly since I so need to get to Texas to visit my friends, who have flown all over to see us at conventions and things.

Maybe I'll still work that in sometime this winter, then too perhaps I will see some of you in Arizona this spring as well. That situation seems to be growing by leaps and bounds, with every passing day.

TGIS! (Thank God it's Sunday) & TMI (Too Much Informatio

Hey, I'm tired, and when I'm tired, I tend to blabber..Body is shot, but the mind races 90 MPH...(Dang Mercury Rising)
2 jobs down, start a new one tommorrow...But just wanted to pop in and respond:
Bob, Thank you so much for keeping me in spirit there! Big hugs! So nice to be thought of fondly by you. (Wait til you meet me, you may change those nice thoughts, lol)errr....think, Ms. Toggle Suthern Style.
I SWEAR I think I am a female form of that guy! (I just restrain myself from posting, lol)
*Psst...love ya Togglefishy* *wink*
Yes I am hard on myself, other people have told me that too recently...I'm working on that :)
Venus...hon, change that Corona to Tecate; 12 oz cans, 6 pack with some buttery-nipples *LMAO* and I'm there. Certain people who know me well, know, that I associate Corona with a certain black and white marsupial animal's body fluids. It must be an acquired taste, as I have never been able to drink it. Dos Equis is pretty good Mexican ale too.
In all seriousness, I would of been there, had I not been working 2 jobs, 7 days a week. Having to put a beloved kitty to sleep THAT day, and the funds to do it all. (I wouldn't of come empty handed, that's just me, whether it be food, little home-made gifts for all, or both.)
Now, finally, the 2 jobs have both ended, one Friday, and one tonight, a new 3 yr Oil and Gas Project starts on Monday, Kitty is waiting for me at the Rainbow, and her ashes sit up on the mantle, next to my mother's, the Christmas tree finally got put up late last night, life is getting better, believe it or not. TMI? Probably, but this isn't even HALF of the drama, I have had to deal with the last few weeks.
I WILL be at the next wash in!! I PROMISE you that! I changed the email addie, as I think Spam filters prevented Austin's email from getting to me...
I'll bring the buttery-nipples (Toggle, hush, it's a shot drink, I'm not puttin' no oleo on my (*)(*)'s.
LMAO
Happy Washin to All, and to All a Goodnight!

Jason is FAB!

I am still amazed by the vids! Every time we view them, we feel like we're back at the wash-in (and I feel like I've been transported back to my school and hippie days)! They continue to make us smile! :-)

The next wash-in will be even bigger and better!

Venus is GROOVY

There's NOTHING like a wash-in at the Wilders, fun machines, groovy video games and lots of good food. And even clean-up is fun with all those FAB vacuums.

Hopefully one day, there will be an Opelousas wash-in. But I need to buy a house first before getting the first vintage machine.

???

I have some questions:

Is that right of Fishel & Payal? Is the F & P spin by 1000 rmp?

In frontload washer of the Westinghouse....which is the direction (one or two)?

Post# 99988 , Reply# 43   12/26/2005 at 22:22 (6,666 days old) by westytoploader ()        

Hi Peter,

Glenn's Fisher & Paykel spins at 1010 RPM on high speed according to the technical specifications he found, although it is advertised at 1000.

My 1993 White-Westinghouse FL does reverse-tumble (drum turns in both directions); this machine was also made under the Kenmore name and was called the "Dual-Tumble" washer. It has a single belt/pulley for the drum, control board, an AEG servo-motor and a separate electric pump; a radical departure from the previous 3-belt Potato-Pulley version. If I remember correctly, the Dual-Tumble was produced from 1989-1994 and shares a lot of characteristics of the Frigidaire/Electrolux that followed. I personally like one-direction tumbling as it provides for more suds/water drama and would love to find a Potato-Pulley machine in the future, but this machine is still very fun to watch, especially on a small load with a good amount of detergent and the water level control set to "Large"!

Fisher & Paykel

Hi again --

Which is the Fisher & Paykel dryer (top load) the direction (one or two).
Before I went to Lowe's to see Fisher & Paykel...I looked nice about:
Washer - small holes, stain drum with circle lines (thick metal)
without belt, pullery, DC motor, etc.

Dryer (top load) -- how do make start first? is that close automatic sliding door?

-- Peter


Post# 100077 , Reply# 45   12/27/2005 at 11:47 (6,665 days old) by westytoploader ()        

The Fisher & Paykel TL dryer is a two-direction machine as well. To start it, you close the main lid and select the appropriate cycle. The sliding door closes automatically when the drum starts turning. In the picture with the lid open and the drum turning, Glenn defeated the lidswitch/lock.

Peter, the video shows the dryer with the outside lid open and the lock bypassed to show how the drum rotates. Normally it cannot be seen running. The lid locks for safety. Running it open is very dangerous, could get fingers caught in the rotating drum, and even chopped off.

The dryer drum turns in both directions. It runs for 4.5 mins, slows to a stop, restarts in the reverse direction for 40 seconds, then pauses and resumes again in the normal direction. The forward/reverse continues for the entire length of the cycle, including during the cooldown. 4.5 minutes forward, 40 seconds reverse. The dryer is belt-drive. The belt is wrapped around the far right side of the drum outside the loading area, cannot be seen in the video.

Here are a couple more videos you might like, showing how the inner drum lid opens and closes. I raised up the entire top deck for a better view. If you look VERY closely, you can see the narrow black strip at the far right, which is the belt.

Peter, as I said:

Forward Tumble - 4.5 Minutes (which is 270 seconds)
Pause - I don't know how long the pause takes, I've never timed it
Reverse Tumble - 40 seconds
Pause -
Forward Tumble - 4.5 minutes
Pause -
Reverse Tumble - 40 seconds
Pause -

Repeating the process over and over for however long the drying cycle lasts.

During the pauses, the motor simply coasts to a stop, remains completely stopped for maybe two seconds, then starts up in the other direction.

One of the nights I went to bed as the last load was drying (the bedroom I got to stay in was butted up against the laundry room so I heard the dryer), it was in cool down mode and had finished the 40 sec reverse and had begun the 4.5 tumble direction. but, 10 seconds into the longer tumble, the dryer finsihed the cool down cycle lol. I went to sleep chuckling.

So glad you had a good time. ;-)

Methinks there's a subroutine that handles the reversing, loops outside the main cycle.

"Are you using WMP? Try the latest version. I have 10 and the videos play fine."

WMP stopped running on my computer. Says "Internal applicationn error" This is under Win2000. Originally, version 9 worked just fine, then it just stopped. When i try to download and install it again, the installation process doesn't give me a choise of where to install it. It puts a shortcut on my desktop, but whenI look for it in the directory where it's supposed to be, it's not there.

Thats looks like it was a lot of fun, I wish I was there. My favorite parts were the vacuuming. lol Maybe someday I can get to one of these. I just think its interesting how many washing machine collectors also collect vacuums, and the same for vacuum collectors. We had some very interesting washer conversations at the last VCCC convention. And talking about the convention, I am already so excited to go again, but thats for another thread.

Those are some fun videos, you all looked like you had a great time down there with all the vintage appliances! Nice job in putting those flicks together!

What would be really neat to add to the "film" looking video is a little bit of "projector clatter" to the beginning and end of the footage!
