Decision 2004

hmmmmmm My mom had a 60's model ABC, I guess before they became kelvinator?......my grandmother had a Philco with the high frequency agitation, that one is not listed. My other grandmother had a lady kenmore, but she did not allow me around her washer, I do remember sneaking a peek inside, it wasn't running though :( I have to vote for the 57 Lady Kenmore...from the first time I saw the restoration pictures I was in love with her. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. Come on guys vote for the glowing beauty !! #11 57 Lady Kenmore ( I guess campaiging is ok ?)

Hi Robert!
Sorry but I didn't see the update! My vote is for #24....the DISHWASHER video!
Thanks,
Mark (lightedcontrols)
 
I'd love to see #23 Dishwasher DVD (Apex DW, James DW, ’56 Frigidaire and ’64 KitchenAid all in one DVD) and hopefully the vintage KitchenAid dishwasher on eBay you bid on!! Wish I had the space for that one.

Thanks.
 
Since the number has changed ...

My choice remains the same -- #19 the ’58 Frigidaire Unimatic, please.

Mike
 
How oh How Could I Have Forgotten the Automagic

Anthony, are you so right. How could I have possible left out the '59 Philco Automagic.

Lets make #25 the Philco Top Loader.
 
For those who asked about the Wizard DVD, yes I have a few copies left and I can also burn a few more if necessary so if you would like one follow the instructions under See-It-Wash DVD on our home page.

Once we decide on a machine we then can talk about what types of washloads for the two complete cycles and how to film it (top removed, small load, etc).

Here is how the votes stand so far...

51 GE-----------5
66 Kelvinator---5
Diswasher Set---4
57 Ld Kenmore---3
49 Maytag AMP---2
59 Duomatic-----2
56 Norge TimeL--2
52 Whirlpool----2
55 Unimatic-----1
58 Unimatic-----1
55 Westinghouse-1
 
vote

Damn, what great choices. Normally I would vote for the Kelvy since it has that trippy agitator action even more unusual than a Frigidaire, BUT, I'm going to vote for the 3-for-one "value" of the dishwasher video.
 
Hold Your Horses

The Pink DW is not part of the mix at this point, it could take months to get it working, installed and get a clear door made.
 
Five-Way Tie

The voting is officially closed now!!

Isn't this funny, here are the final vote totals and we have a five way tie!

5 - 1951 GE
5 - Maytag AMP
5 - 1966 Kelvinator
5 - Dishwasher DVD
5 - Lady Kenmore
3 - Westinghouse Laundromat
2 - Bendix Duomatic
2 - Norge TL
2 - Whirlpool
1 - 1955 Frigidaire Unimatic
1 - 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic
1 - Bolt-Down Bendix

Looks like we have a five way tie, between the Kelvinator, GE, Kenmore, Maytag and Dishwasher DVD.

I guess just like in the presidential election its going to have to be thrown in the "House of Representatives" or more closley the "Basement of Representatives" and they (meaning me) have to make one final vote.

And my vote is
 
Well I've Never

Ummm, both of you have already voted thank you very much, hmmmmmph. Trying to slip one by eh? It's not nice to fool the webmaster :)

Decisions, Decisions.
 
Just kidding you guys. I think my 5 way tie-breaking vote is:

THE '51 GENERAL ELECTRIC.

Its a wonderful machine and so very, very vintage, actually its an antique now. I will do all those other DVDs too at some point. And if I wait on the Dishwasher DVD, I should be able to get the pink KD-12 KitchenAid on it too.

Now as for the '51 GE, what types of wash loads should be filmed (2 cycles) and how. I can certainly film it with the top off, it will give a much better view of the action across the entire tub, as well as some shots of the water being thrown out of the tub into the outer tub. Awaiting suggestions...
 
Can you do one load with the top on and one with it off? That way we can get the full effect of the tub illumination from the tub light and still have one load with it off for those who want to see more of the behind the tub mechanics.
