My experience with small items going over the tub in a Unimatic, in 30 years of using Unimatics on a weekly basis it only happened once to me and it was a small cleaning rag, it has never happened to me with socks. I wonder if that has to do with severely overloading the machine? I always...

Wow what a beautiful machine, I assume this is a top loading H-access washer? Love the little round window in the lid.

Thanks Jamie! I actually made a set of all turquoise cap and rings for my '57 Control Tower washer (they were originally all light gray as the colored rings didn't come out until 1958), I think a turquoise pulsator to match might be in order!

So one of my big projects for this year was to recreate the big 1955-1964 Frigidaire 3-Ring agitator Pulsator. Last year as some will remember I created the caps, lint chaser and circulator rings on the agitator so this year is the pulsator. I have one new old stock 5432199 Pulsator left in...

Hi Scott, this afternoon I let @Alan know which members to check to see if their upgrade was counted during the transition. You're name was on the list I sent Alan.

and if you're referring to the '61 Hotpoint here it is...

Sure Chet, not exactly sure if you're talking about the '58 but here it is...

The 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic & Filtrator set is also a contender as some have mentioned, I had these in my kitchen for several years until the '57 Control Tower set showed up one day...

Oh yes the '61 top of the line Hotpoint automatics should also be included in the running!

Wow the Picture of the Day works perfectly Alan, the Patent of the Day however the file is too small and corrupted or so it appears to me. Is there a way to show the entire file directly on that page without having to download it? Update never mind what I said about the Patent, it works just...

I had about 900 washing machine patents in .pdf files located in the PAT_OF_THE_DAY directory. Every day at midnight central time a new patent file was picked randomly and shown for the day to download.

The winner in my book is my 1957 Frigidaire Imperial Control Towers in charcoal gray

I'm finding this link works somewhat similar to our old "Latest Posts" button and it is what I've been using... https://automaticwasher.org/whats-new/ Although for some odd reason that link only works on desktop browsers, it doesn't work on my phone which re-directs me to forums page.

My three favorites are: #1 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic #2 1947 General Electric AW6 #3 1953 Apex Wash-a-Matic

Thank you Louis, what you said is exactly correct. Chet, I believe they are using XenForo Forum Software which takes a bit getting used to but I believe will work just fine in the long run once everyone gets used to it. The main thing to remember is this will ensure all of our nearly 1.25...

Hi Dave, I really have no idea about what they have in mind for upgrades or as they call it "Premium Members". As they are the operators/owners now they have the right to make any changes they wish.

Are you staying in Mpls or heading to sunny PS ? Hi Pete, no I've decided I like living in Minneapolis too much to make such a major move, especially to a place that doesn't have basements. What I've done for the past few years is to become a snow bird, Spring-Summer-Fall in Minneapolis and...

Thank you all so much for you're super kind comments. I still have mixed feelings about all this but I know deep in my heart I can't keep doing this forever and now that I'm retired from both my corporate day job and running the sites, I will be able to travel without having to schlep multiple...

Where do we refer these issues to now! Hey Peter, I just sent you an AW email regarding this.

Hi everyone, so about a year and a half ago I had mentioned in thread postings on both aw and Vacuumland that I was thinking about retiring from running the websites. I first launched Automaticwasher in 2001 (originally as classicappliances.com, renamed to automaticwasher.org in 2004)...
