Rob(Unimatic) The ABC O Matic with the window in the lid and two dials....Didn't Kelvinator make a machine similar to that one? I remember going to a neighbors house to watch her do laundry in that very same machine. Watched it thru the glass window...and the water shot out from the back through a jet to the fill flume inside the machine. Funny thing was that the machine went out of balance a lot an popped the dial when doing that. I was fascinated with the 'splashy' action of the wash and the wonderful overflow rinse. And I think the water temp. selections were only hot and warm(correct me if I am wrong). Ahhhhhh....those wonderful childhood memories. That neighbor even had a stool for me to watch the action of her machine. Guess she never knew then where I would be in 2006 at aw.org.....:-) |

My Grandma June had a General Electric washer just like the one in the second picture. That is a good memory. |

I really enjoyed these pictures. What beautiful machines these are. Was it because they were (relatively) so expensive; or because the technology was still expanding? Somehow, somewhere along the way the cachet got lost. My favorites are the 1958 Frigidaires. If I ever get to visit your collection, Robert, you'd better frisk me when I leave...I know exactly what I'd take with me. |

No no no, I used the self-timer and put it in the washer on top of the clothes. Good thing I didn't start it :-O |
