Gansky1 was so kind to fax me a mini basket last week for the 1970 GE FF with the baby butt blue tub! His minibasket matches -HOLLA!

Now I can finally wash my FINE UNMENTIONABLES!

I think a fun video would be to load up a mini basket with ping pong balls or tennis balls and film the start of spin to watch them fly. I think a distance shot would be more spectacular than a close up. It would be most effective with one of the baskets with straight sides.

LOL "Faxed me."

Had hoped the new 3D fax machines would be put to better use than just gun making.

Jon, if you want more drama, skip the pause and let the basket spin while still full of water. You do have to watch, though when spinning with the filter pan off. So far nothing has flown out of mine, but, "Hey! Ya never know!" Once you go mini-bask, you can't go back. Have fun. It is especially great for sneaker washing; they get so clean.

Too much spinning, not enough washing... Any kind of turnover?

No Peter

I didn't see turnover but didn't expect too, the tub is very narrow. It seems to clean, there seems to be enough agitation. 

 

My fine unmentionables came out white!

Are you going to make a longer video showing the straight 8-vane in action? A nice full load 'wash-rinse and spin/final spin' video.

Wow, you finally popped your mini-basket cherry!
One more thing to check off your "bucket" list!
