Well, you're kind of close but then you're not lol. If that makes any sense lol. Take a closer look inside of the washer and you may be able to figure it out lol.
LOL sorry Kevin!!! If it were up to me I'd have made plans to meet up with you and possibly check out your collection. However, since we weren't in my car, not to mention pressed for time, I wasn't able to but the next time I'm down there I promise to contact you first!
Gilligan's Island had a washer with a similar design, but with no motor. It had the front part of a bicycle mounted to it and Gilligan sat on it and peddled to power it.
Seemed like all of the "appliances" on Gilligans Island used Gilligan as the "motor"-remember on one episode they had a Gilligan powered 35MM projector!Now what did they use for a light in the lamphouse?The camera was also Gilligan powered-by a hand crank.He peddled the projector.
