That's the one thing I've never liked about Whirlpool washers, my mother had them when I was a kid, they have the slowest spin speed, I think of all washers!! I think the speed is only 300 rpms. Which makes them boring to me. Nice video though.

That chrome cap and chrome in general alone is enough to make this washing machine a Palace machine. But that's what 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, and to some extent 1980's American washing machines are. Washing machines made for Palaces, and I am desperate, SERIOUSLY desperate, to own the finest American washing machines. And oh golly that lit control panel in the dark, and the light in the drum?! It all makes it look like it is a VE day party accessory or something like that. It belongs in a night-club of that time, as do all the decades of American washing machines in which I described. They were made with architecture and beauty in mind.

I cannot understand how any of this is ever remotely possible. Obviously we all know Robert Seger spent 13 YEARS finding one, then RevvinKevin somehow found one, then Sweztoyz(I noticed one in his first test run video of his Bendix Gyromatic), but out of all the washing machine videos I could ever expect to appear on YOUR channel, NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IDEA DID I EVER HAVE that one of said upcoming washing machine videos would be one of a freaking Apex. Just how the hell is it even remotely possible to find one? NEW IN THE FREAKING BOX TOO?! Just HOW IN THE NAME OF POSSIBILITY IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE?! And what's rarer? Automatic Apexes or the 1947-1948 Frigidaire Unimatic model with the white drum? That's the american machine I desire most of all along with a Pulsamatic and a 1950's Bendix, duomatic or gyromatic or whatever. All the 1950s Bendixes are stunning. These sudden recent Apex appearances are beginning to make me decide to add one to my list of washers to acquire. The 1947 Unimatic and all Pulsamatics(and all Unimatics, plus the 1959 Multimatic) were put on the list years ago.

@@DrummerboysWashersAndMoremine makes the same sound when it’s spinning, just how these older Whirlpools are. They changed the design around 1964/1965 to quiet them down significantly, though the later control magnet assemblies had a tendency of burning out and failing compared to the 1947 to 1964 control magnet assemblies aka wig wags.

As a reference of comparison, our 1962 Whirlpool had many repairs in 15 years of use. Pump. Wigwag. Belt. The mounting bracket for the mercury capsule lid switch rusted off the lid hinge, fell down and bumped against the tub when it oscillated during spin, causing the wigwag to rapidly shift in/out of spin mode. The centerpost bearings and basket drive were replaced, aka an "overhaul" job (then needed to be done again at which point the machine was replaced). The chrome agitator cap was replaced by a pyramid stack of washers and a bolt for some reason I didn't understand. I recall the service guy said that only way to fix that would require pulling and opening the transmission to replace the agitator drive shaft. The black bakelite Surgilator later cracked and had to be replaced. The centrifugal start switch in the motor went to sticking and sometimes wouldn't release for a couple/few minutes to re-engage the start winding after the motor stopped from low speed, so the motor sometimes didn't immediately start for rinse agitation in the Gentle cycle.
