Gary, Can't wait to have you back again.
Ken, I would love to have you. Let me know if I can provide any other information.
Paul, No worry. I totally understand. Looking forward to seeing you on the 23rd in Montreal.
Pete, Darn! Well, one of these day, I do hope you can make the trip to Peoria.
Fred and Keith, I would love to have both of you come if you are able, Vacuum people or not. I am woefully lacking in the Vacuum department. I have a Eureka canister, and a Eureka upright, and an Electrolux canister (needs a new hose).
Mike

Well, be careful, it's contagious. You may no longer be woeful after a visit from the dreaded "vacuum collectors." **LOL** | ||

1930's ABC Spinner Washing Machine On Saturday, June 4, 2011, I ran a water test on the ABC Spinner. I recorded the event, and have edited together a video which talks about the machine and shows how it works. For the most part, it was a success. On the negative side, I experienced a motor failure early on in the wash demonstration - an audible sound about 1:20 into the video one can hear a brief change in the sound the motor is making. After washing and spinning the first time, I unplugged the motor. Then a few minutes later, I plugged the motor back in, and it would not turn. I went ahead and included part of the video footage after the motor would not start. Now for the good news - I do have a second ABC Spinner machine that was acquired back in August of 2008, which is in much worse cosmetic shape. I had never before even plugged that machine in, but I took a gamble. I removed the motor, cleaned it up some, and gave it a test. I was amazed to find that the motor ran quite nicely - it might even have been a replacement motor at one time. Both motors are made by Westinghouse, yet have differences, which might imply that the replacement motor is newer. This afternoon, June 12, I finished reinstalling the replacement motor, started the machine up, and it sounds very good. It was one of my goals to have this machine in operational condition for the Wash Party. Mike | ||

BTW
I have a local repairman to keep the 906s in shape. He had a 3 valve water inlet in stock for this specific machine if you can believe it. I keep him coming back to tune them up. Love it! We call him "Dan - the Man!" When he walked in the back door and saw the 906s he said "Wow!" Terry Lattz asked him to pose for this picture.
