WOW!!! It isn't at all possible for me to show (or contain for that matter) my excitement in that fact that I'm getting a working, fully restored Unimatic!!!
Robert, I can't thank you enough for this wonderful and thoughtful gift.. It's great to have an awesome webmaster and a nice, friendly forum to share this hobby as well as many others!
My birthday is the 27th, and it will probably arrive here by that time...WOOHOO!!!!
Congratulations Austin on such a wonderful gift!! What a wonderful gesture Robert, and what great parents you have Austin. Supercool!! Ofcourse we want some pictures of it's when it's in it's new home!
You are very welcome Austin, enjoy. You will not need HE or expensive low-suds detergent anymore, a Unimatic just laughs at suds that choke most other washers. No modern washer could ever handle suds so well or get the wash done so quickly. It is an amazing machine!
But please do remember to be careful around that machine during spin, a Unimatic doesn't take "no" for an answer when it comes to spinning.
Happy Birthday Austin. I know you will really enjoy that gorgeous working machine. Robert, what a truly from the heart gift. It nice to see that people will still do truly caring things for others. All ya'll take care.
I cant imagine the joy you must be feeling Austin! You have wonderful parents! I am grinning from ear to ear at the anticipation you must be feeling right now!! If you have a wash-in let me know. I may be able to make it down that way. Would love to see YOUR FULLY RESTORED FRIGIDAIRE UNIMATIC !!! YAY !!!!! I Might be able to work out picking up Bob on the way. I have friends in Killeen and Temple. <p> Robert, Your kind and generous heart gives me renewed hope in the human race. I had really came to a point in my life when I did not think it was worth investing the time or energy into people anymore. I have my friends and family and that was that. This site and the great members I have met here are changing my mind quickly. Blessings to you!!
Way to go, Austin. There's nothing like spending teenage years washing away in a Unimatic!
Leave the lid open & throw some article of clothing in & watch it go! It's a real Woo-hoo
Congrats again, Jerry
Words cannot express how I feel! Your gift has left Austin at a loss for words (a rare occurence indeed)! It will be fantastic to see his face when he actually opens up the box! I know that this wonderful washer will be cherished by him forever (and hopefully by his children and grandchildren)!
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! You are the best!
You guys are very welcome Venus. Now that's an interesting thought, passing our favorite vintage machines onto our next generation, like the passing the family silver! Except with these be sure to include a handtruck!
Speaking of hand trucks Robert, what brand is the handtruck in the pic? Is it an Escalera? Would like to get me one of those! Hope you see this or you can email me. Thanks!
