Oh Ross!

Congrads! What a perfect time to come up with some cool newbies for the wash-in. ( Hope it doesn't have a timer!!!) I'm taking the phone off the hook now. LOL!

I thought some very early and/or very BOL WP/KM machines had a float in the outer tub to turn off the water and start agitation...?

This is was Roberts when he refurbished a WP

my bolt down is a timed fill

That's cool, never saw one like it before. What do the controls do, and how are they labeled? Seems to me this would have had a lift-off lid like a wringer; is that so, or was it designed to be used with an open tub?

I'm thinking it might be possible to bolt it to a round 1" thick plywood platform to provide enough surface area contact with the ground, that it wouldn't scoot around the floor. Does that seem reasonable or have I just woefully underestimated the forces it generates?

Any updates?

hi design....there is a cover that goes with the machine but i did not get it when i bought the machine which is ok with me....it will get bolted into concrete garage floor as i already have two other bolt downs....one westinghouse and one bendix....

Ross, you could have used that lid, which you didn't buy witht he machine, (once cleaned up) as a tray or platter for snackies lol.

hi everyone....the mechanic came yesterday and took the machine to his shop for some work....but he promised to have it back by march 30 in time for the wash in...and with a rebuilt timer....
