Apex Wash-a-Matic re-Restoration and Full Cycle Video

<blockquote>QSD-Dan: The "See It Wash" videos haven't worked for many years and there's currently no YouTube video of one in operation.</blockquote> Several bits I tried in See It Wash work for me.  The linked files may need to be saved and played with whatever is the choice of players on the computer if they don't run directly in the browser.  I've used VLC Media Player for years.  I can't say whether they'll play directly with a phone, I rarely access the web with such.

You are right, they have to saved and opened with a player. Back in the day, they automatically fired up without saving. Still wouldn't mind a modern video in higher def that doesn't look nearly 20 years old.

I completely agree with you Dan, I've been thinking about making a full cycle video of the 1947 GE AW-6 for years now. I'll be sure to try to make that one next on the list of videos to be done. Those little videos I did back in the 2000-2004 years were super cool back then but they are so very vintage now lol, high-resolution and full cycle video on YouTube would be much better and modern!

I didn't intend to fill your plate with anymore projects, but I'm glad you agree. It's such a rare machine and deserves some limelight in high definition.

Impressive

The amount of work this takes, not only the restoration but the documentation and video is enormous.
Thanks for sharing this Robert, we all benefit from your generous post here.
