So, can I really cram one more vintage washer into the Ogden Laundry?

Good to see you "made room for it" Paul, but you'll have to put an air mattress in front of it for Phil, he likely won't stay in the house ever again.

This machine has really made the rounds, Jon found it at the Chatham, MA transfer station *the dump gift shop* some 20 years ago and it's made it all the way to your capable hands to continue the AW tradition of sharing. I didn't have to do much to it, a timer motor once (luckily it petered out during spin so no flood,) I cleaned the plate and replaced the snubber cup and I believe I worked on the pump in the early days of it's foster-stay.

It's a wonderfully fun washer, enjoy!

The first Automatic

We had, and the one I fondly remember as a child, My Grandmother replaced her Apex wringer with one of these from W.E.Shaw Furniture in my hometown of Lenoir, it lasted until I was 4 in 1969, I can remember it tangling the heck out of clothes and my Grandmother saying that proved it washed well!

Paul - I'm so glad the Frigidaire made it safely to your basement! Enjoy - I always felt this washer did an amazing job, especially with towels.

Congrats!

Paul,

Your laundry room is fantastic. Thanks for posting a video of your WV-35. I've never tried mine out. With no basements in the south, I have my collection in bedroom #4 and a storage unit.

As soon as I find a WCIR-60 and a WEG/DEEG set, I'll be selling off 20 washers & dryers.

Fun watching

Paul - I like that the knobs face up, you turn to select the wash cycle choice, press down and it starts to load. There's something I like about that vertical knob arrangement. Anyways, it's a neat machine; definitely more of a pulse with great turnover. It's funny...the interior tub color reminds me of my grandmother's roaster she gave us years ago (and still have). It would be nice if they painted the interior tub color something like a solid blue, turquoise(for you), or something else. That's just me - fussy about tub color.

Congratulations! Nice video!
