Good job!

The song sounds familiar but I cannot seem to know what it is.

Whats so cool is that every time I see a washer, the music is in sync with the agitation!

Very good job!

The song

"Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling

supposedly the sequel to "Space Oddity" by David Bowie.

I was originally going to use "Promised Land" by Elvis Presley but going through my music I found Major Tom would really work here, even if it is an 80s song.

Baby Kenmo'

Amazing how SMALL the 24" Kenmore looks compared to the other "full size" machines. She has alot of work to be done to her but she worked fine for me and didn't leak at the wash-in. The only functional problem was the spin between the wash and rinse on PP and Delicate didn't work. Both spins on Normal worked, and the final spin on cycles worked. Could be a timer issue?

That was just fabulous Jason, you are such a talented videographer!! Was that little baby Kenmore the same machine that was at the 2003 DC convention?

Yes, it was. The air gap for the water level control had broken, and the lint filter was totally cracked open on the bottom. We removed the lint filter and used a connector to link the 2 hoses together, which caused the machine to suck air though the drain hose and give us quite a bit of foam in the tub. Steve R was able to sweet talk a salty old used appliance dealer out of a used air gap, which then had to be sealed onto the machine with some liquid gasket.

Thanks, Jason. I always look forward to your videos. Hope Helen is adjusting to being surrounded by people who want to watch washing machines in action, LOL!

Thanks

One of the best scenes (besides the Kenmore) was when Helen was stepping out of the house. This is her seeing a GM Frigidaire for the first time. There's always a look of awe when one sees an up and down agitator for the first time.

Thanks for posting the video Jason. How nice is that.

Also, many thanks to your for the 2005 convention DVD and the Texas wash-in video. Jason gave all AW.ORG members a copy that he made.

Steve

DVDs!

I finally found my coy of the 2002 convention that I lost in the hurricane. Thanks Glenn! DVD's of Conventions 2002,2005, Texas washin, and soon Pensacola Washin will soon be available.

Jason, your talent at editing and mixing is amazing. I guess you will be at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals in short order and we will have laundry videos that were made by a very famous person. I love the way the first countdown ended with the shot of the Highlander spinning. You have a beautiful bride. Best wishes always to both of you.
Tom

Countdown

Thanks for the comments

Besides being part of the song, the "countdowns" were actually an homage to classic Sesame Street episodes where they flash numbers on the screen.

Jason, awesome video! Looks like y'all had fun at the Pensacola wash-in; wish I could have been there!

Glad to see you were reunited with the 24" Kenmo' again! Bet that brings back memories...

Austin, Oh yeah, I remember playing with her from 2002. That's a NEAT little washer. The ONLY problem with her mechanincally is she doesn't spin between wash and rinse on the PP and delicate cycle. All final spins work and the spin between wash and rinse on Normal works. Must be a 'spin on gentle' problem.

FANTASTIC

Jason your video is awesome - I had tears of joy watching it! You must put SO much effort into it. That song was perfect, and at points the lyrics were really apt, and we even had a sort of spin cycle noise on the song while watching a spin. That's no fluke, right ??!!

Sheerlookholmes - WELCOME ! I'm just up the A12 in Chelmsford. A 1988 Indesit washer dryer - please show us a pic of that!! The number of UK members is ever increasing, just two days ago another Londonder `Stratus' came on board.
Have fun here, it's a fantastic site and the vast majority on it are caring, respectful, superb people with good hearts.

NickUK

Jason-----

Glad you were able to enjoy that 'Kenmo while in Pensacola. Seems the timer problem has had serious consequences. Steve told me the whole console had burned up! He pitched it out pretty fast if for no other reason than to get rid of the odor! Thats how it goes with our old toys!

ACK! Well, at least I got to enjoy it for a little while. Now where is he going to get another panel for that machine? That's a rare machine.
