SuperTease!

[roto204]

The Tucson wash-in will be graced by the addition of four new machines; three of which are from the fifties, one of which is from about 1980.

I wonder what they are?

Ross mentioned one...

Hmm. :-D

Nate, I have met your wonderful Mom and I am sure that she taught you that it isn't nice to tease!!!! Terry

 

[westytoploader]

I know what the 1980 machine is (I think) but I'm not saying anything!! ;-)

 

[Unimatic1140]

Hmmm let's see, does one of these machines have a Big B in it's name?

 

[roto204]

Mayyyyyyyybe...

Robert -- ;-)

Terry -- True, but I'm sure my mom would also indicate that a good girl leaves SOME things to the imagination ;-)

LOL, Austin--I'd love to hear your theory

--Nate

Never drop that seventh veil until the dowry has been negotiated.

Hey Nate,

Here we go!

Here come the pics.

First, what has a checkmark and a B?

 

[rogera608s]

Filling...

 

[rogera608s]

Washing...

 

[rogera608s]

The drain...the spin!

 

[rogera608s]

I think that's veil number five...

...and then the HIGH-VELOCITY stream of water flushes all that lint and scum away in the overflow rinse...

 

[rogera608s]

Who needs electrical timers, anyhow?

 

[rogera608s]

And then there's Nate's machine, destined to stand next to it's GM brother. (Frigidaire lovers, you may now take to your beds!)

 

[rogera608s]

...complete with patented Splash-a-lation agitation!

The agitator acts as a pump, and water is pulled down through the "cones" and pumped out by fins on the underside.

Does it work? Not really. But isn't it great?

 

[rogera608s]

Splashy!

Note the Westinghouse--not Franklin-ized--design. Metal tubs and porcelain top--WCI must have been asleep that day, because there was actual quality in this machine (to an extent )...

 

[rogera608s]

And now I know I've died and gone to Heaven, because...

(the sixth veil drops)

 

[rogera608s]

Ta-da!

 

[rogera608s]

By the way, if you ever simply remove the fins from your Frigidaire...

 

[rogera608s]

...you get a free Hotpoint Silhouette!

*chuckle* :-D
