I thought I was dreaming when I saw a pink Unimatic for the first time!
I had only recently gotten an internet connection so it must have been somewhere in 1997 or 1998. A couple resigned their 1956 pink Unimatic set and donated it to a Kansas museum. There were two small pictures with this news item of the machines. It looked like a very cool set! I liked that set immediately. Little did I know of the technique inside that washer, that knowledge came much later when I became a member of the Yahoo group.
if I get a big enough lab someday maybe I can build one. I have the plans in my head for 'babbling brook action"! The backsplash was like graph paper it had criss-cross embossed aluminum painted flat black with raised embossed "<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Coronado</span>" in silver on the left!
The window on the door was so huge you could look down into the tub and see the babbling brook action easily!
