Hope you’ll get lots of enjoyment out of this A50. I owned one from 1977 to 1985 that I bought brand new and used exclusively for my laundry from 77’ until mid 81’.
When I lived in an old duplex in 1978 ( built about 1915) I soon learned that I couldn’t do the wash after dark. The spinner draws a lot of current, and this old duplex had old fashioned screw in fuses, only two 30 amp circuits. And every time the spinner was used the fuse blew out.
The fuse box was outside, under the eaves, covered with Ivy and there was no outside lighting. I didn’t have a ladder and the only chairs I had were 3 legged chairs that went with a Danish Modern round dining table. I had to take one of those 3 leg chairs outside, in pitch black dark, trying to hold a flashlight and a new fuse, meanwhile unscrew the blown fuse without dropping the new fuse and the flashlight. I did this twice, and after that I washed the laundry before dark. The last time I did this precarious fuse change it had just rained, the Ivy was wet and I was scared that I was going to get electrocuted.
I later gave it to my sister. David and I hefted it into the trunk of my 67’ Buick Skylark and tied down the trunk lid, then had to carry it up a rickety flight of wooden stairs to my sisters apartment. It was pretty heavy for such a small machine. Built like a tank. And it sure washed clothes great, and fast. A weeks worth of laundry could be done in an hour. I loved that little machine.
