Hi guys, iam a new member from scotland, until a few days age I thought I was the only washer freak in the world, all my friends and family think I'm quite mad!!! Am real interested in the front load washers, I know with energy star ratings in the USA they are becoming more common. I am interested in the older models though. The ones in Roberts collection with the rear control panels are very like the Bendix combo we had in the uk in the late 70's early 80's and would love to know more, wash capacity, spin speeds etc. Look forward to chatting.....PaulC | ||

washers
Welcome abord Paul!Growing up,I was fortunate enough to have a Sears Lady Kenmore gas washer dryer combination.My great aunt in New Jersey had the Bendix Duamatic electric model from 1959.I have always prefered the front loaders but also was quite fond of the old FRIGIDAIRE up and down agitation their washers had for decades.

Twintubs?
BTW, are you interested in twintubs too? If so, there is an interesting Yahoo group dedicated to the British twintubs.

Hi Paul The Keymatic used both pulsator (impeller) and drum drive. The gentle programmes used only the tumbling action, the vigorous programmes used both tumble and pulsator. The spin speed was 750 rpm. Best Wishes Chris. | ||

thank you again!!!
thanx steve will check those things out, and thanx for info on keymatic chris. For its day that was a pretty high spin!! My auntys had indesit an d candy machines that didnt spin over 400rpm but they were fantastic to watch!!! They outlasted higher spin machines of there day due to the lack of stress on the internal workings.
