I've always loved the way Jason (JasonL) has put his washer videos to music, so I always wanted to try doing something like this myself. Here is my music video I named "The Washers We Love and More". I think you guys and gals will enjoy some of the new washer action shots... CLICK HERE TO GO TO unimatic1140's LINK |

Robert - what a beautiful movie. I just loved the way you set up the timers - brilliant! What a way to put everything together: the washers, the smalls, the vintage tvs (color and b/w), and the vintage films. I was expecting just another 10 hour day at the office - thanks for making it much brighter. Ben |

Wow I didn't expect quite this response. I was on vacation last week so I entertained myself with the video camera. I think I managed to name most but the one at 2.00 mins in, Black Agi with wings, green clothes guard and indexing tub, the one before the AMP?? That's the Pig Washer Mike, its the 1966 Franklin transmission Wizard. Eugene this is your Frigidaire washer in it's earlier life. Did Lucy have an Apex bounce-o-matic?? Hi Ross, no that was a Launderall clone called the Horton. Did Jason teach you?????? You got that right Steve, I learned from the best. what was the front loader machine that wasn't the westinghouse or the bendix. Silver frame? cbosch that was a 1959 Bendix Duomatic Combo W/D. |

It's so perfect. Loved the way the swish of stroke in the Norge 18 matches perfectly with the instrumentation in the song. Like Mike, I 've never seen that green webbed machine--is it a Gibson? And thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing my beloved grandmother's Fridgidaire Pulsamatic which I've seen in your basement but never working. Here's to you Robert, the Angel in our midst. |

YAY!!! Thanks for putting a Franklin-driven machine (your Wizard, I presume) in the awesome video. I once was a Franklin-hater, but I've been reformed. They aren't as jazzy as an old Kelvinator/ABC and not as unique as a GM-era Frigidaire, but they are cool in their own right. I'm so glad I bought one. It was cool to see so many different machines in action. Great job, Robert! |

Well thanks again everyone, I'm sure glad you liked my little video. Did I see a certain 1957 Speed Queen timer advance? Inquiring minds want to know! ;-) You sure did Austin. I 've never seen that green webbed machine--is it a Gibson? Mike, that’s a Wizard from 1966. Will you marry me? That’s sounds great Bleacho, I’ll just forget to mention it to Neal that night when he asks me how my day was, LOL. will this be a one hit wonder, or the first of many great music videos to come?

Robert that video made my evening! Lately I had a bad day at work and found to other videos with washers that helped cheer me up. Maybe, becuase they cheer us up, is why we like washers so much. Nep CLICK HERE TO GO TO neptunebob's LINK |

I held it together pretty well through the video until I saw the pink Whirlpool, my mother's machine, may she sleep with the angels, and then enough tears to fill the 1-18. Great job capturing the slice of life that washing machines mean to us! Phil/TuroP |

how about an extended-length disco version? When I've had a drink (or two) in a video bar I sometimes imagine what would happen if a video like this came on the screens! It would be simply fabulous As for the 1952 Lucy episode "Never Do Business With Friends", we had a good thread about it back a couple of years ago, I'll post the link back to it for those who might not have seen it...
