Ok I think I got this to work.
I had been re-doing/cleaning spider cages and happened to notice my largest A. versicolor (I think he/she is 4") grooming - right up against the side of the cage in plain view.
Now I know that to many people this is nothing new. But to me it's like catching a molt for the first time.
I have seen plenty of spiders grooming - in a normal position. I have never seen what it looks like from underneath - which is what I was able to see here.
I also didn't realize I could zoom so well in video mode with the basic point and shoot digital I have.
After I did the first one I noticed the T was putting a leg in it's mouth then rubbing it's spinnerets... So I did a second video. I wondered if it was "washing" the spinnerets?
I managed to upload both video's to photo bucket, and am going to attempt to post them here.
I just wish the abdomen was in a better position... I'd love to know the gender.

ok doesn't look like the embed will work. and I don't know if your "youtube" flag will work if the video is not hosted by you tube. The link works though.
Here is the other video
