The Five Different Full Size Frigidaire Washer Drive Systems
I have all but the mid 50s Pulse-a-matic and they all have their interesting characteristics, Roberts explanation in the old thread is a very good history of the different systems and time table of when they were built and used.
From a repair and use perspective I like my 1968 Rapid-Dry 1010 and the 1973 1-18 Custom Imperial best, But the 1952 WO-65 Unimatic with its double deep rinse and our 1962 CI with the 850 RPM rapid-dry final spin are also favorites.
The later designs without an oil filled transmission were much easier to work on especially in the home, all four major designs had problems especially in the early stages till GE-FD worked out a few bugs, but overall the most reliable ones in IMEO were the 1-18s.
