GE Agitation Speeds I liked the recent post of the 1976 GE. I'm curious about the agitation speed of the GE machines with this straight 4-vane agitator. The straight 3-vane machine that my neighbors had in the '70s (probably made in the mid-60s) had an agitator stroke similar to the early BD...

Jet Cone Agitator My grandparents had the machine shown in Robert's 9/13 post. Only the tub and agitator were visible in the post, so I don't know if it is the exact model. They had it in the '70s. I think this specific agitator was called a "Jet Cone". To say it ran at jackhammer speed is a...

Bosch Washers I was browsing through my local Best Buy on Friday. It usually starts with the CD section (I'm always in the market for music), then ends in the laundry section. I was stunned to find the ratio of front-loaders to top-loaders at around 50-50! I knew it would get there, but not so...

New Speed Queens Can someone please describe these to me? Thanks!

New Format Robert,<br I just logged in for the first time in two days. This will take some getting used to, but I think it will work. You've obviously put a lot of thought into this - thanks! I like the three different discussion areas. Though I'm an avid fan of vintage machines and have vivid...
