"618? Wow. I think that's even slower than our Raytheon Amana was."
A sign of the times. A GE Filter Flow spun at 610, belt drive WP/KM standard capacity spun at a paltry 525 and the larger capacity machines barely maintained 500. Not sure what Norge was spinning at but the 1970's washer I played with seemed to be somewhere in the 600's. A Frigidaire 1-18 topped out at 660!
