This machine came from the home of the original owner. It works perfectly. Let me know if you're interested. We had to pay $25 for this one, so if you're interested, let me know! Mark  |

here's the tub shot!
Here's the inside! It looks like rust in the bottom of the tub, but I think it's just dirty and not rusty. Mark  |

I think that was when GE was calling the agitator the Thriftivator. OTOH, maybe it was not GE, but someone used the term. |

GE called their agtitator the ACTIVATOR, Hotpoint used the term Thriftivator for theirs.......perhaps since the companies were closely associated, the same marketing men dreamed up these great names......! |

The fins extend beyond the plate the same way they do in the first GE Automatics which makes for very powerful turnover. |

Thank you, Jimmy. I knew I had heard the term, now I know where. I remembered Activator, but did not know if they used another term in the wringer machines. Tom |

I see a "garage door" Lady K in the background. Is that a washer? |
