Cool machine I've never seen one quite like it. Shame it's in a poor condition and you probably won't restore it but thanks for going to the trouble to get the pics for us Nick | ||

Thanks for the pictures. The impeller looks like the one in the Sanyo-made GE machines of the early 70s, I think. | ||

When I lived in Sydney, I rented a unit that had one of these only it was not as old and the impeller was beige. It was much bigger capacity also and a very good machine. I would love a machine like this. | ||

Very cool machine, it does remind me of the earlier GE Portables with the 5-vaned impeller! LOVE that offset timer control...wish they had them like that here! | ||

no motor action check the wiring to the motor. there's a lot of vibration under there..and I've seen that before...broken wiring... Good luck. | ||

lid switch ..it occurs to me that without a lid you cannot expect this thing to have motor action - it wants it's lid closed. It's a cool machine though. Save it. Another will pop up that'll be WAY less cool and have good parts you need. | ||

Good thinking 99 the lid switch was already bypassed when I found it. Wires joined then covered in teflon plumbing tape!!! EEK! But I'll check for voltage at the motor. Chris. | ||

Control Panel!!!
Hi Chris That control panel is deffo a keeper, it screams Phillips of old, looks similar to the AWT 119 range of top loaders from the 80`s.. I love the "See It Wash" controls, that looks like the old Bendix & Philco-Ford Italian made machines... What I would do is find a new plastic top to add to the console, ditch the innards and put in place your round Frigidaire, ( I know Robert will go ape but..!!!!) then you will have the Pulsing Frigi with that FAB panel giving you ALL those spray rinses...

Hey Gizmo... Have those Choice tests arrived yet? I hope so. The 1976 compact Westinghouse is to die for IMO :) | ||
