Wondering if it had any cycles for the robot's unmentionables.

Controls

According to the ad (you really do need to use the "mouse to Zoom") text it has a wash timer and temperature control - "Automatic Controls" and "Thermal Guide" I suspect the round control on the right is for the lamp as has been speculated above and one of the levers for a pump as there seems to be some sort of connection on the left rear.

Love the robotic legs in the first pic

and how funny that June's mind is so far away, day dreaming, whereas we'd be glued to the action in front of us.

 

The laundry basket is a real kicker ~ set designers couldn't futurize it, or didn't have the budget.

 

Still can't believe I missed this; thought I saw every episode.

 

Wonder if Robot snuggled up to Washer's nice legs in the middle of the night.

 

These are real treats, haunting, evocative, and satisfying. Thank you, Louis. Going to watch the link now.

The hair is hilarious

had a aunt that wore her hair that way back then. Every night she would stuff toilet paper under the bangs, then wrap the rest of the hairdo in toilet paper, then put this satin net turban thing on! Hair stayed that way for a week til she went and had it done again!

Wonder if Mrs Robinson had something better than toilet paper!

Why were there plastic wash baskets and why were they even bothering to wash clothes when they could have been naked???!!! Who would be there to either object or arrest them???!!! America is so bad in analisis of the different cultures.Everybody has to be labled.

That Thor H-Axis Washer

Would love to find one of those in good "nick". When one can find them the things are clapped and rusted out to the point even scrap is of suspect use.

The advert says it all, those Thor washers were domestic versions of the H-axis washer long in use by then in most commercial laundries. Those units did not spin either, but washing was moved after rinsing to extractors to get rid of water.

As you can see the dimensions give reason why such units weren't repeated again for domestic use. At 35" wide they were larger than that has become the defacto standard 24" to 27" for washing machines sold today. I mean if one doesn't care about such things it wouldn't be a problem with the the current trend towards laundries being built in near living areas it wouldn't work.
