Hey guys - I have a friend that called me and said his mother is selling her house in Brooklyn New York. He told me in the garage their is a very old washer that is labeled ABC O Matic. He didnt give me a price but I think it will go for not much. It doesnt have a window but that could be fixed. He explained the controls are on the front top side. He explained it has a little rust but not much. Anyone interested please contact me by email (Peteski50@Aol.Com) Thanks Peter | ||

HI everyone. I live 35 miles from where the ABC factory was,which was in East Peoria,Illinois. I sure wish this machine was closer than New York. I have 2 ABC wringers and use them all the time. Darn, wish I was closer. Gary | ||

To clear it up though.... The ABC wringers do NOT use x-centric action. Mark | ||

Actually
It does not rotate back and forth like an ordinary agitator so check out the link to the videos. Joe jamman_98 CLICK HERE TO GO TO jamman_98's LINK | ||

Mark, What then is X-centric agitation? Inquiring minds like mine want to know. Gary | ||

Jam The question was about the agitation in the wringer washer. The wringer washer's agitator oscillated back and forth. The Kelvinator/ABC automatics had the x-centric action as seen in the video that Glenn posted. Mark | ||

I am bound(oops, another story) lol and determined to get an ABC-O-Matic washer. I had a friend put an ad in the Bloomington Pantagraph to see if anyone who reads the paper would know of one. That part of the paper lets people put in "wanted" ads for free. I hope I hear back. I'll keep eveyone informed. Bye for now. Gary | ||

Yes the window in the ABC makes a nice warning, otherwise the unsuspecting housewife might get a face full of suds if she doesn't understand that her new washer has a "slight" tendency to splash  ! And.. if our poor dear unsuspecting housewife just came home from the beauty parlor, her new hair do would be RUINED! | ||
