Hey Brother Eddie! Congrats on the most fun Frigi around
I'm sure you'll have it mint in no time. The help from Ben on the cord is fantastic.
Ungrounded, mine should be replaced soon, and now thanks to you guys, I know how to do it.
To inspire you to forge onward, here's a pic of your baby's twin. Your washtub is in WAY better condition than mine. Yours looks brand new!!! Do you have a theory about that or some info.

Hi Mike.
So far before we see if there is anything wrong, I'm thinking about Coldspot66's theory. John said he had heard that alot of women who bought these machines were afraid of them. Used them briefly and then moved on.
I didn't do anything to the tub except wipe it down with mild detergent and warm water. I put nothing on the Pulsator rubber either. The outer cabinet was sprayed down with Greased Lightening, Rinsed and Dried. I then used a series of Rubbing Compounds and Mother's Carnuba Wax.
I'm off to Lowes to get some New Hoses, Clamps etc. So... If I gain anything today mechanically, I'll post it or start a New Thread.
Thanks for writing. Eddie

This is too much fun!
I am having a blast watching this... I am so happy to see him out of the corner of the garage and getting beautiful! It's like waiting for Christmas morning as a kid, this waiting to see how he will run. The anticipation is just too much ;O)
fingers and toes still crossed...

John's theory
seems a perfect explanation and I'm envious that I didn't think of it myself. Imagine watching a WO-65-2 with the lid almost all the way open, lid switch not yet activated, witnessing the water all but disappear from the tub, listening to the roar of the hurling water, then watching in disbelief as the tub spins faster and faster till it "relaxes" at 1140 rpm's. It's 1952 (?), --still don't know the exact year of our babies-- the startled woman is 60 years old and she's used a wringer washer all her life; and now for her sixtieth birthday, her husband has bought her this machine from the future. Yes, I can see how a Unimatic could scare an old woman out of using it. And we washer folk wish we could dive right in and have to hold ourselves back from doing so.
Here's my inferior tub interior. Wish I could get it to look like yours.
So how did you make out today?

Well,
You could use the treatment I used on my KD2-P
I used a 3-M Green Scrubber Spnge with Soft Scrub. Ever so lightly with the soft scrub just to get the scum and mineral deposits off. Note the shine on that porcelain

Wow its just beautiful Eddy, congratulations 100 times over. Isn't that porcelain just amazing!!!
Did you get the cord changed?
To change the cord, undo all the old electrical tape and follow the black and white wires out of the cord. Those are where you need to connect the new cord's black and white wires. Connect the green wire of the new cord to a metal screw on the cabinet.
After that just be sure to pour hot water down the drain hose to prime the pump seal. Look for leaks.

Hi Everyone
Thanks Robert. Thanks Rick.
Well, It's almost 4 AM and I have to get back on the road to NJ for about 3-4 days. I don't want to hit much traffic today. So As soon as I get back, I'll resume the start up procedure.
Mike... use that 3M sponge/scrubby very wet and DO NOT use heavy pressure. I use it like wet sandpaper. Just the weight of your hand should do it.
Everyone have a Nice Thanksgiving. Eddie
This could be a dangerous trip. Me in new Jersey, Laptop, Craig's List, and an Empty truck.
