Wow, this is one of the most unique videos I've ever seen!Haha it's just totally crazy! Also, you're a pretty smart dude to make it all computer controlled, that's wild man.
@peanuttherat He built it himself from discarded Frigidaire washer parts I believe. It wasn't one you could buy anywhere, it's a one of a kind custom job.
I wonder if this absolutely incredible custom mechanical marvel was improved further than it was in the video, the balance sensor was a very good idea for the spin. And btw Robert, you practically invented PowerWash before Miele did. 10 whole years before they did ;)
Actually that is not true, Hotpoint washers did that all the way until 1974 and early versions of the Apex, ABC-o-Matic, Kelvinator and Beam designed automatics did that as well.
Were the cycles changed at all or is this the original sequence of the machine, just set to computer? I LOVE the harp music... I also LOVED how much it sprayed onto the clothes during the spin cycle. My modern machine doesn't do that.
I worked in an appliance back in the '70s that sold Frigidare. They had this cool handcrank demonstrator of the "rollermatic" mechanisim on the counter (I wish I had it now!) When did Frigidare switch to this type of transmission? It seemed pretty simple but was it dependable? Very impressive spin speed, beats my front loading Samsung by just a little!
That harp that plays during the first water throw, reminds me of that song "The Rain, the park and other things" by the Cowsills. That's pretty cool.
0:21 that tune was timed perfectly with the water coming out
Amazing! I got sucked into Robert and Fred's World of Washers from the Obsessions TV show.

Are you alive?

Coolest Franken-washer ever.
makes me want to go and buy a front loading washer, look at all the wasted water...
Are you alive?
You ever hear of evaporation ?
Amazing Washing Machine❤
Robert; I love the Whirlpool like 7 second pulsed spray rinses.
Who knew Whirlpool Calypsos adopted the wash action from Frigidaires of this era?
Are the cycle intervals and functions the same as on the original timer?
whoa a washer with a window on the front!!! I'd pay good money for something like that. hey, u guys should go out on the market with this thing!
I'd like to know how the muti-matic worked
Ŵas it still based on the Unimatic or an early Roller-Matic design?
Only in Frigidaire washers is water actually extracted into the cabinet.

Ingenuity my friends, ingenuity. :)
Any recent vids on this
does this agitator clean better than a dual action agitator?
Gosh... if you could only make these for sale... the mind reels and staggers. I'd start saving my shekels this very instant to have one...
Computerized Unimatic :)
How did you get this? And how much did it cost?
+strongenough78 Look up "Dinah Shore 1953 Chevy commercial".
@mark40511 Ignorance is a mass in everyone..
wow,,
1100rpms was the best speed for a spin cycle.
Dididing
This is shear voyeurism
