Ken, how did you get inside my head????? I LIVE for an alien visitation. I know they're hovering over the lake watchingome and waiting. They are the E.T. version rather than those of "Mars Attacks." You had me laughing myself awake this morning. Thanks, Buddy!
Speaking of that godforsaken "Automatic " button, my little alien was released when I pushed the also forbidden "Push to Reset" button on the Frigidaire. These alien fin models also have secret transistors and homing devices embedded in the timer that are monitored from the air by what we THINK are FBI black helicopters.
OH Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby, of course it has a Wash n' Wear cycle! And to think , that load was for you, Man! Check the pix, and figure out the contents of the maiden "in his honor" Bob-load. Without even asking him, Robert generously scanned the operation for the whole Frigidaire 1962 line of models in his "Downy" Thread 2 months ago when he installed the dispenser on the Super Uni. How could you miss it?
Thanks, Darren, you really crack me up. I went out and fired up the machine in pitch dark--cool as an arriving alien space ship, And Darren, you really know how to hang out the wash. Now THAT is line drying!!!!!--quintessentially. How we'd all love to have your dazzling Frigidaire towels.
Hi Greg. The angled cuts on the slope of the fin and the lateral cut at the neck are are far too measured, perfect, and precise to be damage, even allowing for the smoothing and planing that would occur after years of laundry rubbing by. But you had me in and out of thought for quite a while, and I remembered a large nail making a jagged rip in the fin on our 58 Tower F. Of course, Geraldine just had a new one installed immediately. So I thought: the first owner suffered a similar rip in his fin, but instead of ordering a new energy ring, he surgically removed the damaged area.
Before Greg's post--and it's funny how Frigi lovers think alike--my theory was that GM was experimenting with randomly installed 4/5's fins to see if they would cut down on tangling. Another theory was that a quasi-Philco fin would reduce oversudsing that was also common till users switched from Tide to All and Dash. Quasi-Philco, Quasimodo, the deformed and damaged Hunchback of Notre Dame.
