Sacred Colors TELL NO ONE!!

It's little things like this that make vintage machines so damn cool.

I couldn't agree with you more Eugene, and all done without tiny electronic circuits like we have today. Vintage washers are just sooooo fun!

My '56 GE range also has color heat selector pushbuttons as well as my '56 Hotpoint washer that Greg gave me has colored wash and rinse temperature buttons.

Thanks Tom, that makes sense about the background wallpaper color. Maybe I need to have her change her dress, hhmmmmmmm. I'll experiment with that over the weekend when I have some time.

Tom Turbo, the fine fabrics cycle is the last 3 to 5 minutes of the wash cycle.

OOOOHHHHHH!!!! To say that they don't make them like this anymore would be an understatement. What an awesome design.
You're secret's safe with me!

Wowser - it's a Westy in living colour!

Jon:

That little model makes me wish I was a 1950's housewife! It is just "dreamy". Swooooooonnnnnnn......

Whoever the designer was that thought up the *lavender for fine fabrics* should be annointed! Very innovative indeed!

Do you think

jdinstl is already on his way to your house, jet? He didn't invite me on the theft mission this time, but I wonder if his foot isn't in the carbeuretor. You know, Robert's Westy, which he coveted oh so much, isn't even half as sexy as yours.

Thank you helicaldrive

It is a nice machine and quiet too, more quiet than the speed changer models. My L-8 is much noisier in wash than this 3 belt design.

I have a little pump tension problem to solve this weekend but it should be doing its first virgin load over the weekend and I will post pics!
Yes Tom Bob is right the last 3 minutes of wash are Violet/Lavendar so you can find the cycle easily. The lighted dial only comes on when you press the light switch over to the left and then the whole panel also glows with subdued florescence!!

Take a peek...

Enjoy everybody!

To say that this machine is GORGEOUS is an understatement!!! Jon, you've done a great job...she looks SHOWROOM MINTY FRESH! And I can just hear that quiet wash!! Can't wait to see the maiden load pics!

LOVE the multiple colors on the timer...that is something I haven't seen on any machine, modern or vintage!! Well, except for your '58 Duomatic with the "Jet Engine Controls"!
