Bob-The load mistakenly started off on low water level and I raised it to medium shortly after starting the wash. More vids will be forthcoming once I learn a bit more of what I'm doing. It will be my pleasure. ((--:: Dick-S. | ||

Dick,
Thanks, that was very enjoyable. I am impressed. What a neat machine. You asked for suggestions, so here a few: 1) I liked the way you basically kept the camera steady. Long, steady shots are easiest on the eye. 2) Cutting is better than panning unless you are very experienced. 3) Sound is tough, but I would suggest a separate mic. instead of the camera mounted one. 4) Video compression was ok. A two-pass compression after editing would probably have reduced the block-y-ness as would have stronger lighting. But hey - that is just cause you asked. I like this machine. She has attitude. | ||

Hi Dick, that was a great video, thanks! Your 1956 Kenmore is just beautiful, it looks like its in mint condition and runs perfectly! I look forward to seeing more. Video compression was ok. A two-pass compression after editing would probably have reduced the block-y-ness as would have stronger lighting. Kevin, Google video does the video compression so that is not something we have a control over. | ||

Great video Dick! You have a fab machine too! I know how much of a Kenmore fan you are. You have definitely done this beautiful washer justice! She sounds great and looks terrific! What was the rpm on the spin? | ||

Thanks Dick for your neat video - I'd never seen a '58 Kenmore in action with all it's bells'n'whistles. Definately one nice machine, well done on the restoration. It looks like it can wash too! Thanks again, sheerlookhomes. | ||

Dick thanks again. Truely a spectacular, momentuous occassion. I thnk it's quite uncanny just how strong the resemblence is to Robers 1957 ??? LK, the first LK on the market. I guess Sears had the continuous looking control panels even then--the frog-eyed ones and this panel for the most TOL section.

Remember. Thank You for this video, this was the same washer we had when I was young. I can remember getting a stool to climb up and watch it wash. The only thing missing was my mother's vioce ( leave that machine alone before you get hurt) Thank's Again. | ||

Thanks for the video. O love kenmores from the mid 50's to early 60's. The two 15 second spray rinses are great. Does the 56 have a spray rinse during the final spin? Les | ||
