1952 Frigidaire WO-65-2 Unimatic

1952 Frigidaire automatic washer, model WO-65-2, equipped with the Unimatic mechanism. Part of the most popular line of Unimatics, this is the second version produced from 1952-54. It used an overflow rinse (and added an overflow wash) in place of the two deep rinses on the earlier WO-65. This reduced water usage by one gallon, from 29 gallons to only 28 gallons per load! Besides the unique "up and down" agitation (330 pulsations per minute with a 3/4" stroke length), there is also no reduction gearing for the spin mechanism so the tub spins at motor speed--1,140 RPM! A very unique burnt oil smell fills the air as it stays in the start winding for about 25 seconds ramping up to speed. Before the introduction of the WV-65 in 1955, Frigidaires did not have a separate collector tub, instead using the sealed cabinet to catch the water from the spin tub. It makes a wonderful sound and if you put your hand on the front of this machine when it's spinning the water out, you can actually feel the water slamming against the walls of the cabinet. It is by far my favorite washer. I will never part with it and it is easily the best cleaning washer I have ever used. It has been relatively trouble free (only repairs have been a new spin trip shaft seal and inner "oil" bellows) and I use it very lightly. Here it is washing a load of colors, the building I keep it in isn't built on a slab so there's some slight vibration on spin. It's also developed a bit of cooling fan rattle which is more annoying than anything, I'll take care of that once I finish the many other projects I have, which is not anytime soon unfortunately!
