Picked this up in Chicago today after seeing it in Shopper's Square for $50. Works like it should and is very quiet. It creates a nice whirlpool. It drains, fills and agitates twice for rinses with no spin until the end. The tub brake is LOUD! Just like a Norge. It's a little dirty but is cleaning up well.

Well that little guy is just adorable. Like many (all?) Japanese portable automatics from the era, they never spun between wash/rinses. My Hitachi and Panasonic based units also do the same thing.

Thanks for posting this, it's really cool!

Very cool machine!  Thanks for posting the video.  What year do you suppose the machine is?

nice find!I'm guessing it is from around 1975-76 by the styling,but would have to poke around the machine for dated camponents for a more exact date-Sanyo used "Showa"calendar dates on parts back when that washer was made.Looks very similar to Hitachi GE washers of similar era.

Love it! I have the GE version of this machine. Wish I could find some repair documentation; mine needs a new tub bearing.
