Hi Brent, I saw your comment this morning. The video yesterday was uploaded directly from my phone to Youtube. The phone compresses the video so much that it doesn't look very good. This is a new version that I downloaded from my phone to my PC first, then I uploaded it to you tube from there. There is much less compression so it looks better.
I'll have to take some more videos, its easy with the phone! | ||

"this is witchcraft!"
...and it is! I have an iTouch now and couldn't imagine getting through a day without it. Car radio? What for?? I'm all about the pocasts, audiobooks and a maybe a little music now and then but that's another thread.
That has to be some of the best video I've ever seen from a phone! The iPhone apps, features and styling are just incredible, I can't wait! The pregnant Roto-Swirl is one of my favorites - I like it so much more than the later version. My phone doesn't even have a still camera, let alone video - I'm lucky there isn't a bag and a 5 pound battery! | ||

Exellent quality, The Lady Kenmore 57 was the first washer I used (the lovely white one, before it was sent...oh well!!) at the 2001 convention, the pinks do look fab together though!! just love the roto-swirl and the waterfall fountain, you`ll have to take a vid in the dark with the ozone lamp and see how the phonecam makes of it!!
Enjoy, Mike

Excellent quality, Robert! How many minutes of video can you take on an iPhone?
I notice your lint filter doesn't have the little knob in front to hold it securely in place (see Chestermikeuk's photo in Reply #12). Our 1960 Model 80 didn't have one at first, but at one of the fairly frequent visits by the repairman, he installed a new filter housing unit which had the securing device. Before the changeover, a thin stream of water would shoot straight up (sometimes as high as 6-8 inches) from the rubber seam, where the filter and the housing meet. This usually only happened when the filter was full of lint. It looked a bit like a whale shooting water from its blowhole. | ||

I'm surprised to hear that your 1960 Lady Kenmore didn't come with a Key Latch filter Eugene!!!
I was under the impression that the 1957 models did not come with a filter lock/latch key, but in 1958 after the filters started to leak they changed the design of the filter housing adding a key latch. I guess it must have been later than 1958. I've seen my '57 filter spray at the gasket like you described. On occasion it caused a stream of water to go over the tub ring and create a major leak of water on the floor! | ||

13, knock on wood
I knew you'd come, Stevie. The original sentence was even worse, but I fixed it. So much for the fixing. LOL
Robert, it's hard to stay friends with the Brits without ending up some day with a washer in your kitchen, ya know! Why did you pick the Westies for the kitchen? They look great. Is there a thread about the transfer? I noticed this about a week ago, maybe two, but didn't see anything. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Automatic Washer. | ||

More Vids? Robert, you say more vids? Can you do your 1962 Hotpoint? BTW, I really appreciate the enormous effort you make to maintain the site/club. I'm a new member and just getting to know everybody, but they seem to be a great bunch of folks. | ||

That Lady Kenmore 57 washer sure reminds me of my Grandmothers washer-was pretty much like the one in the film clip-loved watching it as a kid during the summer visits to Granddads and Grndmothers house.That BIG Roto Swirl was so cool to watch it work!! | ||

Robert - The Westy Slant-Front in HD......... Would really be nice to see some of the Westy Slant-Front Washer in HD - a little wash/rinse/spin. A few shorts like the LKM above would be great to satisfy the craving till the longer ones later on. Thanks! Randy | ||

Robert---Does your Lady K have a suds saver? If so, does the splashing water during the return pop the tub light bulb? Ours used to do that all the time. I've been told that later Kenmore models used a slow agitation speed during the return, which makes sense.
Again, on one of his trips to fix the washer, our repairman "jerry-rigged" a couple of things. He put a foil shield in front of the tub light (which changed the way the tub was lit, so I removed it). We had a problem with the off-balance kick-out at one point. Our Model 80 had a "Cycle Hold" toggle switch which had the same function as pushing in or pulling out the control knob on a machine with a dial (ours had those colored cycle buttons and the rapid-advance timer). Anyway, we couldn't get it to reset out of the kick-out mode, so he rigged it this way: When the off-balance buzzer sounded and the motor shut down, you'd open the lid and it would automatically reset everything. The motor would kick back in, you'd redistribute the load, close the lid, and the spin cycle would resume. If the unbalanced condition happened at the beginning of the final spin, you'd usually get your hands showered with the spray rinses while you were redistributing the load. | ||

Thanks Jed you are correct, Eugene I have never used the suds saver on the lady Kenmore, both hoses go into the drain stack pipe.
Randy, the Laundromat is going to be a bit more of a challenge to film with proper lighting. Later on next week I'll try filming with a load of white towels. We see how it comes out. | ||
