I am not sure of the speed of the spinner, but it is pretty fast. I want to guess somewhere between 650 and 700rpm. The "bells" are chrome plated brass. It is so cool to watch and it really pushes the clothes around suprisingly with alot of splashulation. << "thats a jetcone term". AND yes, frontaloadotmy, the spin cover is weighted and locks down, its the only way you can spin is the cover must be down. The spin basket water can drain back into the other tub if you want. Just place the drain the hose in the wash tub. For those of you who provided your email above I am emailing the video now. I have "dial-up" so it takes 40 minutes roughly for me to upload a ten second video ......... uuuuuggghhhh ....... so I hope you all get it OK ......... best regards, gregm
Maybe you could upload the clip to a couple of members who have faster connections and they would send it out for you. I know I'd be more than happy to help out if I could...
thank you duetboy, Jeff, for your offer, another friend of mine offered too, so I think I am allset, but if not, I will let you know, thanks again ........
Thanks so much for taking the time to send the video out Greg. I know what that is like with Dial Up. Best money I have ever spend was to change to DSL. Greg I can't believe the wash action in that machine. Thanks again. Terry
Matt, I just asked my friend John, (coldspot) to forward it to you whereas he has a much faster connection than I ........ I thought I had sent it to you, my apologies .......
Thanks so much for sharing this video!! I've often wondered how those machines worked. I couldn't believe the power ... wow ... the precursor to Frigidaire! I would guess you pull the agitator bells off at the top so you could remove the clothes?
Thanks for sending the video. The wash action of this machine is awesome. I have seen the same model machine in a museum, but had no idea of the wash action. Fantastic!!!!! Isn't this the same Easy that Miss Daisy had in her kitchen, or was hers newer?
I got it, Greg, thanks. The wash action is too cool. If you ever have the time, I would love to see this washer running with a full load of clothes, water, and detergent. Thanks again!
Very cool machine, Greg! My grandmother had an EASY she kept even after she got automatics. She used it for rugs and rags and my grandfather's garden clothes. It was green enamel like yours and had the locking spinner lid, but it had a spiralator in it. I have seen ads for Easys of that period that offered both kids of agitation. They must have made both types when they were transitioning from vacuum cup to agitator. I'd love to see your video.
