Very nice washer--very effective action in the video clips-Parsons electric-Northampton,Mass was where my Grandmother lived-remember going to her house each summer many years ago.she had a KN washer with the pregnant black Roto-Swirl.loved wathing it.Now if I could find a Blackstone around here-That looks like a really good washer.

One thing I forgot to ask...

How does this machine spin? Is it a reversing motor or does it shift directly into spin via solenoid?

What A Beauty!

This was the exact model washer I remember years ago from the Carmel Lumber store. I tried to view the videos but they stated it was not yet available to view. I never knew anyone that had a Blackstone washer so this one really interests me.
Thanks for the postings.

On this machine, the motor reverses to spin. All of the machines arrived in working condition. I have never seen transmissions like the ones in these machines. ALL VERY DIFFERENT!!! And all are built like tanks. Mark

I recognize you in this picture, Mark, but is that Gary, Steve or Robert on the floor?

Did you get the set of towels and the gyro-balance top with the machine?

Absolutely love this washer - the vids aren't working right now for me either, I can't wait to see it in action!
