For Christina and other Bob-load Aficionados ~

(Hello Sarah, niece in from LA; more later) For now,

VIDEO: Loading bowls and Running Spin tube Without Racks.

ENJOY a trip inside the belly of the beast which sounds like a hurricane in a box.

First use of camera tri-pod, cut off some top screen shots while using the camera still attached to the tripod. Forgive and excuse. I couldn't see what I was "seeing." Still a novice.

Thank you!!!  Fascinating and fun.  My mom's friends who had these always commented to me that when I loaded their dishwashers, their glasses came out better looking and cleaner.  (I guess cuz I studied and understood the principle).

Thanks for the post. In the early 60's the folks built a new house, complete with a line of builder's grade Magic Chef appliances (including a spin-tube dishwasher with a red pilot light). The accompanying literature reminded the user to give the tube a spin before beginning each new cycle, so as to make sure that it was free. My father said it sounded as loud as a thrashing machine, my mother hated it and...he was correct, it was very loud, indeed. While at the same time, our across the street neighbors had an "upscale" Frigidaire spin-tube, complete with that elegant chrome "swoopy" door handle (elegantly embossed with the word "FRIGIDAIRE"). The Magic Chef did not last long and was eventually replaced by the next generation Frigidaire with a lower wash arm and spray tower. Enjoyed your pics/vids, cheers!
