Ah! Congratulations! That's a sweet little machine. I've seen photos of these in a German laundromat. Are you going to take in laundry now?

Sweet!! That’s a good durable machine. I’m glad it’s up and running again. I remember seeing quite a few of these in laundrymats or washeterias as a kid. The impression they gave me was no nonsense, down-to-business cleaning....and done before you knew it. Congratulations!!!

Hope to see a good size load being washed.

Barry

It might be easier, cheaper, and quieter to simply install a dedicated pump.

Very cool!

I'm not really a fan of front load washing myself, but I LOVE this little washer❣ Thank you for adding the videos of this washer, especially the one showing the tumbling action with the drum filled with water. I was wondering how much water the drum filled up with?

That is very cool. The videos made me smile
😊

CONGRATULATIONS!
on getting this washer up & running.
Doing the HAPPY DANCE for you on this side of the computer.
WOOOOO HOOOOOO!
DANCE
😃-🕺

Hi Mark!

They are cool machines, you'' have to come down and see it run when I get to going again. !!!

How is the GyraMatic Bendix doing? Miss that machine! We will see how well this cleans, I found out it has 2 deep rinses on the timer!

Hey Jon!!

I would love to come see the westy!Thank you again for the gyromatic Bendix.It needs a transmission that is what that loud noise is. I may be able to rob one from one of my parts bendixes but then it wouldnt spin as fast. The E-Z Sudsit Laundromat at my future home The Hotel Costa Plente is all finished I just need to get my eight pinball machines out of there into the other room.

I love that name Hotel Costa Plente !!

Wow I thought that was a slight bearing noise, the tranny. Ill keep my eye out if I see one. I had an older Gyro I should have parted out! Hindsight is 20-20.

The Streamliner has a BTMD and Bad water valve and horrible pump so all three are going to the lab bench and staying at the Hotel Costa Plente for sure !

I always find great joy bringing an older piece of equipment back to life. Just be carful, it's addicting and can lead one to become quite the professional hoarder.
