The Mini-Minneapolis Wash-In |
[Down to Last] |  |

This past weekend Ben and I had the pleasure of visiting Robert, Mr. Unimatic himself! To add to the fun, we met club member Geoff Delp and had a grand old time. I knew we had come to the right place when the host broke out the Blue Heaven glasses and fired up the '56 Liberator. Just about everything left a lasting impression- the intimidating RCA Whirlpool combo machine, witnessing Philco's High-Frequency agitation, the kitchen that proves multiple colors can work harmoniously together, or the restored Zenith Porthole! Enough yaking, the pictures start at the link below! -Cory

Hey Guys! I've included my addition to the fun ~ a .mov with some washing action! I had to cut this down quite a bit, as we had fun with almost all of Robert's wonderful machines. Hopefully I'll find some time go include a few more movies of this past weekend. I completely agree with Cory - everything I saw and witnessed on Saturday left a lasting impression. Thanks again Robert!! Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK | ||

LOVED the pics and vids! Looks like you guys really had fun with all the machines. Robert truly is an inspiration, I hope to make the pilgrimage to the AWO Mecca in Minnesota one day. | ||

Thanks for sharing .... It's always a special treat to see those awesome machines in action. I enjoyed the pics too. (My parents used to have a coffee pot like that! It made great coffee as I recall.) It looks like a great time was had by all. Mike | ||

Yes the box on the Speed Queen is now the detergent dispenser, originally it was a softener dispenser, but the original owner had removed and lost the special tray that holds the softener inside the box until the solenoid trips it in the rinse cycle. As for the Procter Sylex coffee pot if you want to start a thread about that in the Super Forum, I will provide full details. | ||

Ok - I must be doing something wrong. I tried to save the video by right clicking, save target as, etc...., but when I go to my desktop to open, I get the "file cannot be found" message... | ||

"It's like--Suds-lock THIS !! Quote from the video
Chorus:(to the tune of the old Sugar Crisp commercial) "Can't get enough of that suds-lock THIS, suds-lock THIS, suds-lock THIS. Love Gansky's Basilica better than my Holy of Holies About the Super Unimatic. Is it the first machine in the row with that mint convex rim? The whole upper frame and lid is an architectural wonder. How and why did GM start then stop with a perforated tub? Who knows the story? How I'd love to hear it. Does it work like the early Maytags? So stuck in fascination by that first machine. Anything in the old threads about it? Mikey | ||

Is it the first machine in the row with that mint convex rim? No that machine is the very first Frigidaire washer from 1947. Here are pictures to my custom built, computer controlled Super Unimatic... CLICK HERE TO GO TO unimatic1140's LINK | ||
