Wow - what a find! Amazing what is still out there, especially in this condition. Does it need transmission help?
Also - that 58-62 lint chaser ring is in really, really good shape. It would make a great canadate for Bud’s repo efforts. He has molds for the correct black cap and ring for your WO-65-2. Ben | ||

Congratulations Eugene!! This is such a fun machine, especially with no outer tub the sounds it makes going into spin are super cool. Is this your first Unimatic?
The pulsator looks nearly new, did the machine come with that Pulsator or did you change it? that is an interesting question! It may be an old reproduction one made by Customline that was a dark gray neoprene when new .... and has turned that dark tan patina like all the old neoprene parts do. Frigidaire made replacement pulsators in that exact light gray color (which have a tendency to turn beige over time). The Customline ones are a very dark gray. | ||

My first I’ve worked on one, but it was a much newer 1-18 with a perf tub. My friend bob has one and I helped get it going. I honestly don’t know much about it. The bellows that I got are the water seal and an oil seal, not the large diaphragm agitator bellow. | ||

Bud, would you be able to use that Customline pulsator to make a mold without ruining it? | ||

I’m probably going to do a few videos but after that I can send my pieces to whoever can reproduce them. All I ask is let me a buy a few! I also need that detergent cap so if anyone has one I’d love to buy it. Actually I’d like two so I can give one to my friend bob. | ||
