WHITEKINGD,
thanks for the response, sorry I missed you in my thank you the other day!

polkanut,
Borax is good stuff, isn't it? I used to use it back when my kids were little to get their cloth diapers white.

Geoff,
I'm sure I lost a least 1/2 cup, it was all over the tarp that I put in my van and a bit had soaked through to the carpet.
~~~~~~
Wellllllll, I've cranked 'er up and it's a go. :}
Except for maybe the wringer itself, still gotta mess around with it. Maybe I was doing something wrong. We'll see. (Thank you, polkanut for the wringer instructions, I'm gonna print them out and take them downstairs to the washer tomorrow to see if I can get the wringer going.)
I filled it up for the first time on Friday.
As soon as it was full and I had added some towels...the agitator fllllllllooooooooooated up and sideways. I pushed it back down. It stayed and proceeded to swish back and forth and the towels did that rollover y'all talk about. It was kind of a strange experience having the water so full and rolling around, but all was well.
And .... I DO have a pump! (Even though my model number on the machine doesn't have a "P" in it...anyone know why that would be?) And it works quite well, except that when the tub is almost empty, water starts dripping all over the floor, so I gotta figure out what is going on. Maybe the clamp isn't tight enough anymore?
So, I used it on Friday night and then again today, and it agitated and agitated for several hours. I had to use my top loader for the rinse part after I wrung everything out by hand. I think it went well for the first time.
Can we still get new rollers? My top roller is black and when I was cleaning it, some came off on the rag, so I don't want that going on the clothes when I wring them out.

Geoff,
that "harem" shot is great!! Those are some sweet looking machines! Someday I would like to get one of the square tubs.
I love the turquoise and white together, it's so pretty.

LOL @ RCD about the Crazy Cat Lady title - wringers must be like Lay's potato chips, I guess!
