Hi everyone, first I wanted to just check to make sure everyone who placed an order for the DVD has now received their DVD. If for some reason you havent please email me. I might do another DVD in a month or so but I thought it might be fun to have a vote for the next machine to be filmed. My current choices are listed below, please just vote for ONE CHOICE ONLY in this thread. No second or runner up choices as of yet. #01 56 Norge Timeline #02 52 Whirlpool #03 49 Maytag AMP #04 49 ABC-O-Matic #05 51 General Electric #06 58 General Electric Filter-Flo #07 59 Philco Duomatic Combo #08 59 Whirlpool Combo #09 55 Westinghouse Laundromat #10 66 Kelvinator #11 57 Lady Kenmore #12 58 Speed Queen #13 62 Hotpoint #14 47 Bendix #15 47 Frigidaire Unimatic #16 52 Frigidaire Unimatic #17 55 Frigidaire Unimatic #18 57 Frigidaire Unimatic #19 58 Frigidaire Unimatic #19 55 Frigidaire Pulsamatic #20 57 Frigidaire Pulsamatic #21 95 Asko #22 03 GE Harmony #23 Dishwasher DVD (Apex DW, James DW, 56 Frigidaire and 64 KitchenAid all in one DVD) Did I forget something?

Since the first DVD was the Wizard from the 60's I'd like to suggest the next one be an older machine from 40's or 50's just for variety. I'll vote for the 51 GE since it has a white tub and is such a rare machine. Les |

Malcolm I've mailed out 34 Wizard-Pig DVD's so far. Looks like the '51 GE is the front runner. With 4 votes so far, but things can change quickly. Lets keep the voting open for a few days. Oooooh what happens if we have a tie? A runoff maybe? I messed up the original list, I listed #19 twice, so here is an update, please include the selection # with your vote. Thanks everyone. #01 56 Norge Timeline #02 52 Whirlpool #03 49 Maytag AMP #04 49 ABC-O-Matic #05 51 General Electric #06 58 General Electric Filter-Flo #07 59 Philco Duomatic Combo #08 59 Whirlpool Combo #09 55 Westinghouse Laundromat #10 66 Kelvinator #11 57 Lady Kenmore #12 58 Speed Queen #13 62 Hotpoint #14 47 Bendix #15 47 Frigidaire Unimatic #16 52 Frigidaire Unimatic #17 55 Frigidaire Unimatic #18 57 Frigidaire Unimatic #19 58 Frigidaire Unimatic #20 55 Frigidaire Pulsamatic #21 57 Frigidaire Pulsamatic #22 95 Asko #23 03 GE Harmony #24 Dishwasher DVD (Apex DW, James DW, 56 Frigidaire and 64 KitchenAid all in one DVD) |

#05--1951 GE! Love the design with the removeable (not hinged) lid! If I might make a suggestion, can you please leave the top on? IMHO it would be a much more interesting perspective. --Austin |

For those who asked about the Wizard DVD, yes I have a few copies left and I can also burn a few more if necessary so if you would like one follow the instructions under See-It-Wash DVD on our home page. Once we decide on a machine we then can talk about what types of washloads for the two complete cycles and how to film it (top removed, small load, etc). Here is how the votes stand so far... 51 GE-----------5 66 Kelvinator---5 Diswasher Set---4 57 Ld Kenmore---3 49 Maytag AMP---2 59 Duomatic-----2 56 Norge TimeL--2 52 Whirlpool----2 55 Unimatic-----1 58 Unimatic-----1 55 Westinghouse-1 |

The voting is officially closed now!! Isn't this funny, here are the final vote totals and we have a five way tie! 5 - 1951 GE 5 - Maytag AMP 5 - 1966 Kelvinator 5 - Dishwasher DVD 5 - Lady Kenmore 3 - Westinghouse Laundromat 2 - Bendix Duomatic 2 - Norge TL 2 - Whirlpool 1 - 1955 Frigidaire Unimatic 1 - 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic 1 - Bolt-Down Bendix Looks like we have a five way tie, between the Kelvinator, GE, Kenmore, Maytag and Dishwasher DVD. I guess just like in the presidential election its going to have to be thrown in the "House of Representatives" or more closley the "Basement of Representatives" and they (meaning me) have to make one final vote. And my vote is |

Just kidding you guys. I think my 5 way tie-breaking vote is: THE '51 GENERAL ELECTRIC. Its a wonderful machine and so very, very vintage, actually its an antique now. I will do all those other DVDs too at some point. And if I wait on the Dishwasher DVD, I should be able to get the pink KD-12 KitchenAid on it too. Now as for the '51 GE, what types of wash loads should be filmed (2 cycles) and how. I can certainly film it with the top off, it will give a much better view of the action across the entire tub, as well as some shots of the water being thrown out of the tub into the outer tub. Awaiting suggestions... |

Can you do one load with the top on and one with it off? That way we can get the full effect of the tub illumination from the tub light and still have one load with it off for those who want to see more of the behind the tub mechanics. Les |

So is this washer like the one on today's (11/9) POD? If so, I can certainly go along with a DVD on that and certainly willing to wait for DW DVD is more machines would be included on it. |

I always wondered if there's software that will do "picture in picture" so you have the timer in a small window in the corner of the screen while you have the action in the main screen. |

I can film it however you guys like, but I don't think you all realize how little the opening is in the early GE. It was one of the smallest openings of any machines ever made. I can film it this way, but you wont see very much, it would probably be better to film two wash loads with the top off looking down into the tub and then have a short third program filmed of a few minutes with the top on. The light is only a 25watt bulb and probably won't be bright enough to be seen on camera properly, I will experiment though.

In my opinion, it makes perfect sense to just leave the top off. Make it easy on yourself, and let all the action inside the machine show! |
