From what I can tell of it it could be that Unimatic that Robert gave him for his B-day a year or so ago. I got a mind like a steel trap....or so I am told all the time. Mike | ||

And it was *my* knee. Two weeks therapy starts tomorrow.... (kidding!) Anyways ... had a grand time. Austin, Venus, Tom & Hayley, kitties, Aquastar, delivery of a pink pig, checking out the offerings @ Lowe's and dissing POSs, plugging a "hemorrhage," playtime with the GE combo, Penta Vane, Penta Swirl, Double-Duty Surgilator, straight-vane FilterFlo. Who could ask for fun on a Saturday? | ||

YAY! Here's the Frigidaire WO-65-2, connected and washing once again after a 3-month absence! I'll be monitoring it closely for leaks in the coming days.

Detergent for this load Breeze, made in Trinidad. One of the many detergents I picked up while on vacation in Grand Cayman, July 2005.

Breeze loaded in the circulator column. I thought it was going to make one hell of a suds cake, but...check out the next picture.

Start of wash. Not exactly sudsy, but then again, those rags were quite dirty.

Great Austin, wonderful job as always. By the way... I'm thinking the impact driver will be just the thing for getting the stuck pump screws out. Be very careful with that impact driver on that 60 year old pump. Please take a torch and GENTLY heat up the bottom of the motor housing where the screw threads go up into. Otherwise you might break those screws in half, making matters worse. | ||

fun weekend Now that's what I call a fun weekend. Austin, it seems that that WO-65 is very troublesome, when you are completely sick of it, send it out this way! I love the idea of the washing shed, or building. Great for those of us in the West with no basement, and/or garage. Martin | ||
