The Pump is rated at 150F degrees continuous operation, again if it gets too hot and doesn't work well with the heater, I will find a different pump to use. This is the experimental phase.

For my Philco wringer washer I'm thinking about a small electric pump made by Gorman-Rupp Industries http://www.gripumps.com

What fun, Robert! I'm sure you'll have a light in the cabinet too.
**WOOHOO!!!!**
I can't wait!!!!!! THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!

That is fabulous, Robert, and so impressive that you can not only pack features in but make it look so crisp (no duct tape!).

More Surprises
I had planned all along to try and put the 12lb Rollermatic tub and use the 1963-1964 Three-Ring Agitator in the Super Unimatic and to my delight, the tub fits beautifully in the big open WO-65 Cabinet! I was worried that the extra gallons of the larger tub water would rise up and cause a drag on the bottom of the wash tub, but the WO-65 cabinet can handle it all! Check this out...

Look Ma!
It's a wash tub in there. Rich Golittlesport asked if a light is going to be installed in there, of course, its on the drawing board to be done later on.
I took the Chrome Ring off of the window (its held on by velcro, an easy solution) for more of view through the window...

One strange looking Unimatic, that's for sure! Look how nice and low the 12lb tub sits! It will leave lots of room for a nice spray nozzle for the recirculation system as well as detergent, bleach and fabric softener dispensers!
An action shot, its splashy to say the least.
Please say you'll make a DVD of this when you're finished with it. This is absolutely the coolest project, Robert.

WOW!!!! You're making quick progress on this great machine! I've never seen an action shot of the 12 lb. 3-ring before either, so now I know...it will be interesting how the Unimatic will handle that size load, and if spin performance will be even better since the tub is wider I assume. Is the machine overflow rinsing or recirculating in the last picture, and what are you going to use to cover where the timer is supposed to be?
Maybe you can find a way to adapt a Filter-Flo pan for use in the Frigidaire? All the lint balls would probably jump right out! ;-)

Wait...did I miss something?
You also mentioned about the 12 lb. Rollermatic tub. I thought the later Multimatics used 12 lb. tubs as well, am I wrong?

Hi Austin, the machine is recirculating in that picture. I have to go hardware/garden store shopping and find the perfect spray nozzle to fan spray out the water stream (any suggestions club as to what I might use?). Right now its just the hose and the hose is 10 feet long so it looses a bit of pressure, but its still a very strong stream of water. Once I cut the hose down to three or so feet, watch out, get your goggles! Yes, I absolutely will have to find a way to filter the water. One of the fun things about this machine is it will probably be a slow work in progress over the course of years. I'm just trying to get the base project started.
I haven't done a bit of electrical wiring yet, its totally being powered by test cords. I can't wait to get this thing connected to a Computer, but I have more mechanical and water system work to do first.

The awesomeness factor is off the chart!
Continued good luck.

Maybe there's some way you can adapt a KM/WP fill flume to make the water spray in

Robert an entire Maytag Fill line would do the trick. As long as the injector is set correctly. Thats my two pents.
