Over the past few weeks I have been hearing MANY people talk about never seeing a "winged" Surgilator or not hearing the sounds of a belt drive in years. I have had my 76 WP for quite a few years and finally a few weeks ago got around to making and taking videos of it in action to send to a member. I just attempted doing it through upload picture but they are far too big to add that way. If anyone can give me any ideas on how to get them onto the site, By all means, let me know. I would love to share them...

Geoff

File sizes

geoff's profile picture
Robert,

The file sizes for most of the videos range from 3MB up to 12MB with 2 being over 12MB. CamMURRAY, I will gladly send them to you, I just warn ahead that if you are on Dial-up, it's going to take a LOOOONG time to download them.

Regards,

Geoff :)

Email address-

Hi Geoff, I work for a cable company, and I'm kinda embarrassed to say how fast my cable connection is. I have a corporate account, around 8 Mb per second download. It would be interesting to see how long it would take to download some of these. But I think there is a limit on the email size. I forget what that limit is. You may have to compress some of these files. Let us know if you work something out with Robert. In the mean time, you are welcome to try to send me some vids. Thanks, Matt

Geoff, if you pick out one that is 3mb and send it to me I can post it. The larger ones will take too much bandwidth to post, so for those email would be the best bet.

My email address-

is mattstar@zoominternet.net. The larger files will need to be compressed using winzip or other such compression tool. My ISP has a 10Meg upper limit on file sizes. I'll bet most ISPs have max file sizes.

I never expected such an overwhelming resonse LOL. OK guys, I'm running at 10MBsec Download and 1000KBsec upload, so this will take some time to zip, (most already are) and send them out singly to everyone. I will try to have most of them out by Christmas (Merry Christmas to Applianceville, you've all been such good little boys and girls LOL ;). Robert, I will send one of the better 3 Meggers to you to post just let me know which address to send them to. Anyone else while I'm at it?? let me know so I can start the sending list. :)

Neighbors had an LFA-7800. They ran into trouble with it having excessive vibration sometimes during spin. The local appliance dealer where they bought the machine (and where I worked during high school, but was no longer working there by this time) couldn't find anything wrong. I checked the machine a couple times myself, being that they were neighbors, and it didn't exhibit the trouble. So they ended up calling a dealer in a nearby town, who replaced bearings and all sorts of parts that I didn't think could possibly be bad. An accessory balance kit was also installed, a weighted ring clamped to the top of the basket . . a service kit that had apparently been released to deal with this exact problem. They didn't have any more trouble with it after that.

I have a pretty fast download speed at home (though I drool over y'all's 8MB and T3 circuits!:-), so I don't mind downloading from the site.

However it would be really appreciated if videos on the site were also available in Quicktime format or something else that was cross-platform. Not all of us use WindowsMediaViewer; at least two of us here (me & someone else) use Macintosh with Quicktime.

My belted 1978 Whirlpool is an LFA 5800!

That is EXACTLY what my 1978 belt driven Whirlpool is, an LFA 5800,same agitator, tub ring, lint filter, control panel, all! A duplicate of the washer you all were talking about!

not a solid state (far as i know)

compwiz,

I think the solid state models are the digital ones like this:

The machine the pics above is the exact one my grandparents had in their rental house in palm desert! I so remember that control panel!

First vid sent.

Hi Everyone,

Ok, the first vid has been sent to all who requested and gave me an E-mail address. This was not without some problems though. Some were returned to me because of various reasons, mostly being that the file size was too big for some of your mailboxes, if you DID NOT receive it, please do let me know and we'll see what we can do to remedy it.

apologies,
Geoff

YAY!

Too cool! Agitates MUCH faster than my '82 Kenmore (also belt-driven...ironically enough)--now I want one! The turnover and water drama are impressive! It's also interesting to see the tub "rock" from side to side during wash--one of the reasons why I was always fascinated with BD Whirlpool & Kenmore washers.

Merry Christmas Geoff, and thanks!

Looking at the videos,i had forgotten just how wide those BD baskets were compared to the DD machines of today.Much more room for circulation in the older machines.Those were the days.

could I have a copy of this video too. I am the one that had one of the last of the BD's (at least in my own mind :-) ) A 1985/86 Imperial 70 with the winged Super Surgilator (as it was labled). To hear the sound of the drain portion as the tub was almost completely drained. I can only hear it in my minds ear. Never could duplicate that sound (not without some severe stomach upset at least) ;-)
happy new year,

I do apologize to all that HAVEN'T received. Some requested after the first batch was sent, so I will compile a new list of those who haven't received. Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy weekend. For those of you that have received it, Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I enjoy sharing these videos with you all and there are more to come. There are 6 or 7 in all plus I have a vid of a Roto-Swirl in action, plus a Dual-Action. I will send another round out in the beginning of the week. I'm so glad you are all enjoying them.

I got the Whirlpool videos on my e-mail, but the Real Player couldn't play them, it asked for updates, but none could be found.

Gotta love the sound when it starts agitating! I first heard this in the Kenmore; when the water level was reached I heard the motor start up, a loud "clunk-bang" as the agitator engaged, then of course the wild "woo-woo-woo-woo" sound!

EXCELLENT videos Geoff! Makes me really appreciate my Belt-Drive!!!
