Eddie has to take the credit for that! He has the '6' to shoot slo-mo !!!

Great video Jon!  Eddie, that slow-motion is pretty special and very impressive. 

 

Can't wait to see more and the maiden wash of this one.

Is that a demonstration of the gentle agitation and slow spin in a Speed Queen?

Oh! Ne touche pas a mon Speed Queen! I wish I could say that! :-)

Great video! I've said it before, that moving agitator looks very decisive to me, decisive to get things clean. It's my favourite vintage toploader wash action!

that slo motion reveals everything, I get mesmerized by it. I just hate the size of the "6" iblab!

 

Louis, I think  you are overdue for a visit to Chez Melrose ! This is the year. 

 

 

Robert you can scroll down the threads there is a thread all about the mechanicals of this machine already posted.

Ditto on the slo-mo feature...reminded me of the jet engine used in the first British jet plane.

Love the looks of this Speed Queen more so than any others I've seen so far.

The "ooooh's" and "ahhhh's" synched well, too. :-) ha.

That was a neat slow motion video! The sound of the water on slow motion kinda reminded me of being at the beach in California.
That was cool! GREAT JOB there guys!
And I like the warm glowing illumination of the lights
:o)

the similarities are amazing but one is definitely on steroids!! 

 

Isn't that cool HippieDoll? I love Eddie's camera tricks !

 

For everyone who might miss it I posted the new part numbers for the belts over in the old thread

"Something spotted ...across the plains of New Jersey" so that the information will stay with the machine restore thread .
