This is the machine as seen in old Simpsons-Sears catalogue/advertising (mine's is the 'B' one at the bottom of the page) The 'A' unit makes one think of a Hotpoint model variant of some sort CLICK HERE TO GO TO unclejohn's LINK |

Pretty cool, hope it still works which it sounds like it does. Would have been just the thing for people in apartments that wouldn't allow a washer hookup. It might have actually saved water even though nobody cared back then. |

Hey, Todd (barcoboy)! Nice to hear from you I did not find -yet- my grand-mother's Hitachi (1970s twin-tub) but this little Sanyo/Kenmore is a little marvel in itself as it ''fills the bill'' and is so fun to use. thx uj |
