A warm welcome to the club and resource, Oh love this washer and its Wonderwand action, as jetcone says its the "Spanuklator" effect lol..
Was it Nathan who has one with yellow tub, this looks very similar cabinet to an Acme twinny we had here years ago. Good luck with the repairs and look forward to seeing it wash and spin !! |

I've wondered what kind of cleaning results this washing action would give? But when you really think about it, it does the same thing a Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Speed Queen and the likes does while they agitate, they move the clothes around, back & forth in the water.
CONGRATULATIONS on getting this unique washing action, 1967 twin tub washer! :o) |

Glad to see an update on this Lightburn washer. I had never seen a wash wand design before this. Very cool! It looks solidly built. Sincerely, David

The best spinners for rinsing were Servis/SpeedQueen solid cans as you can fill them up and put your hand in to agitate the load before spinning the water out.
You can do this with perforated cans but it needs more water to fill the outer tub thus allowing a good swooshing with the hand so can be rather wasteful. Personally have always rinsed in the spinner saving all laundry done in a basket, Empty the wash tub refill with lukewarm water and your FS of choice along hint of blue bag if doing whites rewash/rinse in the wash tub ensures all suds are removed before drying. |
