Pulsamatic!! Robert, you really should put out a full video of that Control Tower! Meanwhile, I'll be on the lookout for any WS-58 or WD-58 I can find. NorfolkSouthern

I would opt for the Bendix, because it looks like it is built heavier and more solid. I look for large induction motors and commercial reliability in these machines. You want both a stainless steel inner and outer tub. Plastic is something to avoid if possible. Spin speed is not as important as...

I have a Durawash as well, and so far I like it. It has a mechanical timer and none of the electronic digital stuff. Although it doesn't have a food chopper, it still cleans very well so far and runs a very fast cycle. No bells, no whistles, and not everybody would like it. But it suits my...

favorit: Is it actually a Zerowatt, or is it something else? Which brands did that factory make? Are you saying that mine is actually a Bergamo, rather than a Zerowatt? Or could it be a Philco? aldspinboy: Thanks for your response. Do let me know what your friend thinks, as I would like to see...

Can you give me the dimensions of the top, Gary? It looks like it might fit my front loader. I especially need what ever fastened that lid to the chassis, if possible. My machine measures 23 1/2" wide, and 20 3/4" deep. You may need to convert that to centimetres. Thanks. NorfolkSouthern

I'm running 20 amps, foraloysius. NorfolkSouthern

A Norge can be entertaining, to say the least. The agitator has an action similar to that of a GE Filter Flo, except it only spits out water through the top and into the pan on the back stroke. That's why we call it the "burpilator". A Norge makes a sound all its own, sort of a moan with each...

The capacity is 6kg, or just a tad over 13 pounds. But I can cram it pretty good, within reason of course. I would like to see how well it does with my Nautilus winter parka. It has a few stains that have been set for at least the last couple years, maybe longer! NorfolkSouthern

One little shield... Comin' right up! NorfolkSouthern

Let me try to explain: When I'm saying it's "slow", I'm actually meaning it's not 1,200 RPM. It's probably more like 700 or 800, but I don't know because I don't have a tachometer. Do the cloths come out wet? Well, no, they don't. I would describe them as being about as damp as if they came out...

I haven't tried just running cold water from the start, ronhic. For now, I'm just making sure I have the boot on correctly and that it doesn't leak. It is really made for a standard washer hookup, with both cold and hot water so I'm assuming the temperature boost is to keep the water heated...

Ronhic: The slow spin speed gives Alice (my Frigidaire 1-18) an excuse to cop his jollies. In fact, he was playing "extractor" like my sisters would play "homemaker" while I was growing up (LOL). But one of these days, I may run across one to complement this machine perfectly. I want one of...

Supremewhirlpool: Your Primus would eat this little critter for lunch. I am NOT going to throw it in the ring, because that would be unfair :D! Also, yes I think it does have a heater because the window felt a little hot, and I started with warm water on the first test. Also it took longer...

First, I would like to thank askomiele, vivalalavatrice, soberleaf, supremewhirlpool, and ronhic for their help on the thread. Vivalalavatrice: Someone on the modern forum mentioned the same thing as you, that it could be a Zerowatt. So, we may be getting a little closer to an identity...

Note the water level During one of the flush rinses, I waited until the machine had paused before taking this shot. Note how much water these old Italian machines use during rinse. And this is the normal cycle, not bulky or specialty anything. This is where I'm beginning to understand WHY the...

So here's where the fun begins! After I got the boot back in place with a little clamping and spring stretching, I figured I'd go for a ride. Not me, mind you, the cloths! There is actually quite a bit of water in that barrel, and the sudsing was very low with the HE detergent I was using. It...

I got the boot back on Both the inner and outer tub are stainless steel, as far as I can tell. When I ran this load, there were no leaks and everything was functioning properly. Soberleaf: Alice had to do all the spin drying, because this machine just doesn't have the extraction. So, he's not...

When I ran this machine... I began to understand why these older front loaders are so desirable in Europe. I'm not sure if this is a matchbox, or something else. Maybe someone can fill me in. Anyway. When it washes, it fills to the bottom of the boot. But during rinse, it fills half way up the...

So I pulled the rest off and found that the rubber is in great shape. No cracks, no cuts. Soft, supple, and rubbery like it should be! There's also a wire and a spring that apparently holds it between the door and the outer tub. Yes, I am going to have to figure out how to take it apart now, I...

But there was a problem with the boot. The machine started leaking when I ran some rags through for a test. I opened the door and found the boot gasket loose! NorfolkSouthern
