Well I'm here up north at Neal's parents house and the wallpaper comes across loud and clear. Maybe you two need to put your glasses on?

Careful there little mister (shaking my finger) the NSA is watching you. Is there a strange van in front of your house now?
Maybe his placard should say N R A (National Repubilican Auxiliary)

I forgot you had this machine! Is this one of those arm-manglers with no lid switch? It might be worth more than you think ;-)

Happy Holiday, People
that spanker looks fantastic, green and mean.
lid-switchless arm-manglers: is there any other kind, Gregory, or any kind better, YAY for no lid switch.
that little logo-man, Roto, I've seen him before in other incarnatons: Jimminy Cricket and Mr. Planters Peanut--Robert's classic humility!

Robert, you'd better sit down for this one.
In just a few short years, the WCI-based Frigidaire washers will have been produced longer than the GM-based machines.
Ergo, WCI: The real Frigidaire!
Nate, your logo alteration is prescient.
And now I shall run and hide for awhile.

WCI the real Frigidaire????
That just doesn't sit right at ALL!

Vive le uneven agitation stroke and the madly-indexing plastic tub!
Whooooo-HOOOOO!!
Whooooo-HOOOOO!!
Eww!
Oh, that IS unnerving. "WCI, the real Frigidaire??" So, you're saying that this machine was my one shot at owning a real Frigidaire?!?
Greg, I almost forgot I had that machine too until Roger and I reminisced about it the other day. I kind of wish I hadn't gotten rid of it, but it's propensity to store two gallons of soapy water in the recirculation system and then barf it all back into what was initially a pristine rinse really turned me off.

Real 1-18
Darn. I should have kept this, except that half the bolts sheared-off in the transmission when we tried to take it apart. It was so pretty inside and out...thank goodness I saved the control panel!
I'll have to find another and chuck this Jet-Action thing I have now...oh, why don't I ever learn to keep the really COOL machines??

Arm-mangler Kelvy
LOL Greg, no, this machine stopped running when you opened the lid. Yet another classic example, according to the news segment, of WCI's insanity, since the "original" design worked "better" than the more recent revision.
But the lid-switch was disabled on it, and I figure I'll work the angle that if they had made it run with the lid open, I'd never have had to disable the switch, which--in turn--led to the mangling of my arm. "If only I had been allowed to see the wash, then I'd never have done something that caused me to stumble into seeing the spin!...and then blacking out."
I figure I could play it into a different $3 million suit...you know, nonsensical and conflicting, but just what the American justice system loves.

See you have some hose manipulation going on ovet there with
Do you recycle water and play with the hoses. I do, all the time. Always astounded at how many brothers keep their hoses hidden in the back and never mess with the draining and such. Pumps, draining and hoses are very big for me, a tie right up there with agitation and agitators. What about you?

Oh, Nate; I can only imagine how many people recoiled in horrow when they lifted the lid on your 1-18 expecting a Jet-Action agitator. Was yours an '80? Actually, I think the very first WCI Frigidaires were kinda cool---at least in retrospect. I also remember the 'suds barf' from the recirulation system at the start of the rinse.
I had an '86 and by then they really sucked. Plastic tubs, weak, spineless transmissions, horrible agitators. The only redeeming features of my '86 Frigidaire were a spin-drain and the circle fill, a hold-over from the GM-era 1-18s.

Mike--I don't recycle water too much, unless I'm suds-saving in the Easy Spin-Drier, a practice that Scott instilled in me
. Most drain water goes out into the yard, unless it's here at the house, and then it goes into that boring standpipe.We just had the rigging affair put together that evening so we could play with the machine.
Eugene--I think mine was close to a 1980 machine. I know, can you imagine the difference? The WCI 1-18s were not bad machines, but they were not a 1-18, and any consumer trying to make the transition from a machine that held a megaton to a machine that was pretty average had to be completely torqued.
My "1-18" was a Westinghouse top-loader under the hood in every respect, with a straight-vane agitator that was kind of cool (the top vanes were removable, leaving a rather Hotpoint-longneckesque agitator). It didn't have so much of the suds barf-back issue as the Franklin Kelvinator pictured above, which decidedly could re-christen even the purest, clearest rinse with a gallon of concentrated suds and make it look just like the wash.
By 1986, didn't WCI use-up their Westy toploader parts and go to solely Franklin machines? I'm thinking your later machine was a closer kin to the Kelvy than my faux 1-18. However, *I* didn't get the Jet-Circle fill--travesty!! It all came out of that one little spot at the ten o'clock position--à la Westinghouse, all the way.
