Glad to see the Portable Kenmore! That str8 vane really moves things around, and that gold cap brings back so many memories. A video of this washer would be perfect.

Have a good one,
James

As Kevin said, I was a bit weirded-out using this machine in the mechanical state it was in. The timer was dangling there by the wires (my own doing) and the wig-wag wires were hanging loose, later capped-off by electrical tape, but I didn't trust it enough and was expecting a good shock eventually. I got that. I am not ashamed to admit that 110-volt electricity scares me a bit.

It was really fun though getting the machine to come back to life (it protested a bit at first). I am pretty sure it is the most "rigged" machine I've ever used. Someone in the past has even spliced in a GE power cord.

We are accumulating parts and I am considering a second trip to L.A. (could it be an encore visit to Phoenix too?) so hopefully the machine can make a more photogenic re-appearance on here soon.

Does the machine make any woo-woo noise?

Toggles: Your digi cam will do video, do you want to loan it to me? :-D
My digtal SLR camera does not do video. :-(

Jonathan: I believe it does make the "woo woo" sound, but I to was too excited about it working that I did not pay attention to it.

On a sad note: I discovered this morning that I need a new wash basket, this one is badly rusted!! Boo hoo! More later!
