I want a vintage washing machine. The ones from the 50's were built so much better than today's cheap models! The Kenmore we have is 8 years old and rumbles like a 8.3 earthquake! How effecient were the ones from the 50's? Just curious! Is this one you have fully restored?
@56Mercgal I don't care how effecient vintage appliances are, they seem to last longer than the newer ones and they look alot cooler too! I love the chrome and different colors washers, stoves and fridges had in the 50's. And they weren't made in China either!!
My grandmother had an early 50's Frigidiare washer that she would brag how it would spin her clothes nearly dry. "It doesn't take any time at all for them to finish drying out on the line."
What great quality these machines were! No wonder it still works.

What's the flapping sound at 16 seconds? It stops at 17 seconds.

That thing spin drains faster than the Norges from the 70's. very interesting.

There is no clutch in these machines. Full torque is applied directly to the motor, so they get up to speed pretty fast.
