How cool is that!
Yeah, what does the dirty deed? Hard not to think of a pulsator in there when you see Unimatic. So big and powerful looking. Be great to see its magic.
From another forgotten thread--sorry! Yes, Mike I remember the "Wash Dogs" at Tom's Hoover 100 Party. He had the yellow, green, and brown, aka, Harvest, Avocado, & Copper. The green looked so rich and nice in Hoover's rendition, really caught my eye.
MIKE, Whatever happened to the Turquoise Visimatic that was for sale in the UK?
I think about it a lot. It was so rare and minty. Thank you, and, of course CHEERS !

Having a better look at the picture I see this is not the first fully autoatic H-axis toploader. That is the one on the right in your picture. The one in the middle is similar (also H-axis) but semi-automatic. You needed to set the controls for every action you wanted.
Only the machine on the left has an agitator.
I have to disappoint you Jon, the two biggies need 380V!
I will have to search for some more pictures, I have them somewhere. Unfortunately my Webshots album has gone.

Later version but think this puts things into perspective.
Yeah, they would need 380v of heating power to get cold to near freezing northern european water to boil wash temps quickly.

Thank you Launderess! That machine for sale is the same as the one in the first picture.
The album I made on Webshots isn't there anymore, but I found the pictures I took at the museum on my computer, so here goes.
The first picture shows the early days of the Verzinkerei Zug.
