Anyone know of attempts to convert an older washing machine to  
bicycle power?  I spotted one in a local used appliance place- the  
kind with a built in wringer.  Seems very sturdy and I wonder if  
because it is older it may be much simpler and more easily converted  
than a newer model.  For sure the 'tub' is smaller than modern units,  
so loads would be more modest.  If its cheap I may just get it and  
have a go.
