Wow what a beautiful set! Love them in coppertone! I know that you will enjoy them!

Step Down

I'm assuming this is the set that's a step below the Ladies? It's vintage 1966. (Funny you met in Auburn...I used to live there back in the late 70s) BTW since I took this photo, I've gotten the dryer light going again and replaced the floor tiles...murder on the floor when I keep moving "spotlight" machines in/out of the house every few months...

Thank you all for the kind words!

I've already started tear down on the Lady because I really want to see her strut her stuff. Have no fear, Michael! There WILL be video. As far as gathering experience with the RotoFlex, another reason for overhauling her is I really want to move my prized Neptunes aside for a Little while and make these daily drivers. I really am very grateful to Dan for finding them. Ever since I sent the green 900 set to Gordon, I had been wishing I could find another RotoFlexed set. WOW! Even the mechanism which stops the timer dial at the spot you selected with the button works. Copper tone is one of those colors where if it's not maintained, it looks crappy BUT if kept well it just SHINES! Just think how well they'll look when I can get Jacqui's 63 Alphabets up and running and set right next to them!

That will be wonderful, Andy. You've got an eager crew a

I'm sure you know this but just in case: You can get this machine to agitate at any water level, as low as you want by filling to, say a few inches or whatever, and then move the dial to the empty space for SUDS, and she's off. That way you can treat us to the wonders of this agitator at various low levels. I'm dying to see this and am very grateful that you're going to do vids. (My main devotion to suds-savers is the multiple fascinating views they offer of water chaos as the levels change. The Rotoflex would have to be a chart topper in this regard.)

 

Just had a funny post dinner joke, entitled "Button People" If Jacqui sews, she probaly has a stash of button. If so, you could throw a whole bag o' buttons into the machine and see what horrors the rotoflex visits upon them. I bet the people with scraped bottoms were harsh overloaders.
