Beautiful shots of a beautiful machine! I can't wait to see the clothes tumbling past the window/salad bowl!
What a beauty!
That is really a gorgeous machine, and a testament to your restoration skills! It's amazing how much detail and quality once went into control consoles. Contrast that with the ugly monochromatic touch pads that pass for control consoles on modern machines.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a flawless wash on the other side of that window!

There most certainly will not be any socs in the virgin load!
I finally got them delinted by shaving them!
And those Red Flannel sheets are still linting badly, the Neptune lint screen was blocked on one dry cycle and this is their third time through!

Every machine can be conquered! 
Jon, congratulations on finally getting the '55 back in service! What a beautiful machine, and what an accomplishment too on the mechanical work. Keep us posted on the maiden load (with the cabinet on, that is)!

Wonderful pictures Jon. I love those close-ups of the control panel. I see there is a heater section on the temperature control, what is that setting for? Does it heat the water to hotter temperature than hot? And is there a fourth setting hiding behind the dial itself? Enquiring minds want to know!
Good morning Louis
yes that dial when set to HOT in wash activates the magic heater which is a 220V heating element in the washer that "keeps the water hot through the wash cycle". So it doesn't heat it up any more than what enters the tub but maintains the heat of the water.
But this only works in the wash cycle not the soak or rinse.

Jon,
So there are three settings on the temperature dial? That heater section is great for the whitest whites!
BTW, have you moved to London?

Maybe he means the Restraunt Chain???
That question about the temperature dial still is unanswered...
Louis
I think what you are asking about is The "Magic Heater" which is the control in the center and it works like this.
It has two positions for wash water temperature. One is WARM the other is HOT. When set to HOT, hot water is filled into the machine.Then and only during wash cycle a 220V heater element buried in the tub is activated and keeps that water hot so it does not cool during the wash cycle. It isn't powerful enough to heat the water hotter than the temp it filled at but it won't let it cool down.
This heater is only activated during the wash cycle not the rinses.
Does that clarify its function for you?
