I gather that it is a bolt - down but
Does anyone know if this machine is fully automatic or semi.?

Fully automatic
The Jacobs Launderall was a fully automatic machine. Though it loaded from the top, it is a tumble action washer that tumbles both directions. They had to be bolted to the floor like the old Bendix.
You used one lever on the front to lock the door shut. The door had a glass in it for viewing.
The lever on the left is for hot or warm water.
The lever on the right is the start lever. Simply flip the lever and the machine went into action, did its cycle, and shut off.
As I remembe, they had a wash, a spin, 2 rinses with a spin between each one and a final spin.
I'm old enough to have used one when I was very young.
What a fantastic way to start a collection!!!!

Great save and too bad about the FF, it looks like a TOL late 80's model

Yes, it's a very cool machine. I don't know the first thing about how it works... LOL. Here's with the lid open.

Looks like a fun one to bring back to life.
Oh Eddy what a great find! Congratulations, I wonder if they made them in Canada as well or if that is a US made machine?
