I found this photo of me and my mom's Hotpoint while cleaning out my laundry room to paint. Thought I'd share my first exposure to a classic top loader. Here's where my obsession all began.

Geoff is right! That is a priceless photo! I remember those machines well. Don't you wish you had one like that now? I know I do! Thanks for sharing! | ||

Hi Greg. Yes, my mom had a Westinghouse dryer at that time. It was very similar to the one in Gary Weibel's collection with the half white/ half turquoise control panel. I'm guessing ours was circa 1960. | ||

Hi Tom. I've lived in Atlanta all my life except for when I was away at school. I cross over "MUNroe" everyday going to work and Dutch Valley is still there too. I sure wish I had that washer today. So glad Robert has one in his collection now. Les | ||

I'm standing on my little stool. BTW, the agitator was red but the black cap you see in the photo was a replacement. I recall the red cap wouldn't stay screwed on tightly so the serviceman replaced it with a black one since by that time Hotpoint had discontinued the red ones. | ||

Do you remember any of the cycles?
For instance, our unimatic had two rinses, no over flow, and when I was a little older, I noticed that the first two spins were really short, and a lot of water stayed in the outer tub. Then during the rinses, it would pump the rest of the water out. Everthing was fast and short on that machine, except the wash and final spin.
