No episiotomy!
My water broke today and was a big splash all over the driveway. Greg was there I kept screaming obscenities at him, and telling him I would get even with him for doing this to me. He just kept taking movies of the birth with the dam camcorder. He said he was going to post. So Greg where are they ?
Also is there a owners manual that someone might have for this machine? [this post was last edited: 3/24/2012-22:37]

Well, there was water, but it was all controlled!
The 79 Frigidaire 1-18 Holy Grail Washer is beautiful!! We had no troubles at all, no leaks, runs or drips from the machine. Once cleaned up, it should be ready for some regular service. The washer is in beautiful condition, the tub sparkles and shines like new. A few of the buttons are a bit loose on the controls, but we may be able to patch those up. All the cycles, timer and options appear to work.
Draining went well:

Ohhh. Pretty lights!
Here are the lid instructions - it's a relatively simple machine to operate
A quick video tour:

Cold water: NO

Cold water: NO
Those who have had 1-18 Frigidaire washers will know this but Frigidaire recommended that for small loads, using the gentle speed for agitation. This machine does the thinking for you, any water level selected below "small" and it automatically switches agitation to low speed. Even more washday freedom from thinking - more time for Judge Judy!

Look at the wiring! You can see the two motors on the timer - one for rapid advance - cycle selection and the other for normal timer operation.
End of cycle signal - every time the timer passes the last increment, you get the buzzer if it's turned on.

More wiring - lots of wiring in that panel! You can see the speed control switch right above the water level pressure dome - love that feature.

Thanks Greg !
Can't wait to clean it up and move it from the garage up to my laundry room to use as my daily driver.

Would you look at the rats nest hiding in that thing - holy cow! There must be a mile of copper wire just in the control panel. Thanks for the shots and video Greg!
Congrats again on such a cool find. Now you will smile each time you go to do laundry. Makes each day that much better!

I'm so glad to see this come to a completion and see the machine placed in a home where someone will appreciate it. I was concerened it may go to the crusher. The 1-18 is such a powerful machine!
Just Beautiful!
Thank you Greg for taking and sharing the videos.
I loved seeing the rapid advance timer do its thing as well as the water level control.
That machine sounds very healthy too so you should be able to enjoy it for many years.
Congrats on getting it Bob and thanks for sharing your find with all of us.

Sounds like its in great condition! There's no slamming in wash with the Jetcone! Its quiet FOR a 1-18!!
You'll get many years of happy washing out of it --and then leave it to me.
