If you'd like them sure LOL I'll take pictures and post them before I head to my brothers house for the night. All of the vids are on my laptop so I'll bring that with me, that'll give me something to do since I have the house to myself.

Regards,

My belted 1978 Whirlpool is an LFA 5800!

That is EXACTLY what my 1978 belt driven Whirlpool is, an LFA 5800,same agitator, tub ring, lint filter, control panel, all! A duplicate of the washer you all were talking about!

not a solid state (far as i know)

compwiz,

I think the solid state models are the digital ones like this:

The machine the pics above is the exact one my grandparents had in their rental house in palm desert! I so remember that control panel!

First vid sent.

Hi Everyone,

Ok, the first vid has been sent to all who requested and gave me an E-mail address. This was not without some problems though. Some were returned to me because of various reasons, mostly being that the file size was too big for some of your mailboxes, if you DID NOT receive it, please do let me know and we'll see what we can do to remedy it.

apologies,
Geoff

 

[geoff]

As promised, first vid out by Christmas, and here are the control panel shots as requested

YAY!

Too cool! Agitates MUCH faster than my '82 Kenmore (also belt-driven...ironically enough)--now I want one! The turnover and water drama are impressive! It's also interesting to see the tub "rock" from side to side during wash--one of the reasons why I was always fascinated with BD Whirlpool & Kenmore washers.

Merry Christmas Geoff, and thanks!

low water

Geoff thank you again,.....love to hear the rythmic sloshing sounds of the old BD machines.I can actually hear that famous woo,woo,woo sound of the transmission.They were such good machines in their day

wide basket

Looking at the videos,i had forgotten just how wide those BD baskets were compared to the DD machines of today.Much more room for circulation in the older machines.Those were the days.

I forwarded both videos to ya !

 

[imperial70]

could I have a copy of this video too. I am the one that had one of the last of the BD's (at least in my own mind ) A 1985/86 Imperial 70 with the winged Super Surgilator (as it was labled). To hear the sound of the drain portion as the tub was almost completely drained. I can only hear it in my minds ear. Never could duplicate that sound (not without some severe stomach upset at least) ;-)
happy new year,
p

To all that haven't received

I do apologize to all that HAVEN'T received. Some requested after the first batch was sent, so I will compile a new list of those who haven't received. Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy weekend. For those of you that have received it, Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I enjoy sharing these videos with you all and there are more to come. There are 6 or 7 in all plus I have a vid of a Roto-Swirl in action, plus a Dual-Action. I will send another round out in the beginning of the week. I'm so glad you are all enjoying them.
