OoOoOh!!
PRETTY. Very nice, with the very effective (but hellish-to-clean) Magic Mix brush. What a lovely machine, and a suds-saver no less! Congratulations on such a pretty find. I loved this "offset-eight-track-player" Whirly control-panel configuration. That Surgilator is so pretty, and kicks butt, too. You'll love it! | ||

This was the exact model of the first washer I totally rebuilt at the age of 14 in the 80's! (I even re-painted it...the orignally owners painted it forest green, replaced the wig-wags, spin tube, snubber pad, agitator, pressure switch, multi-stage pump, motor, water mixing valve and belt). Fantastic running machine!!!! Bob | ||

Could it be a 1967 model? I used the partial model number list from a previous thread and came up with that year. As far as the 1961 date on the the trans, it must have been replaced at some time with an older unit then. | ||

Yes, it is a SudsMiser model. I still am having trouble with the DOM on this beast, can anyone help? From what I have been told, '62 is too far back and '67 too far ahead. Does anyone have any pics of a '65? | ||

Beautiful! It will clean up nicely. You just can't beat the Belt Drive mechanism. | ||

My aunt had that washer, but more BOL with a red moving timer on the timer and stationary markings. Hi-lo water levels and Hot, warm, cold. The first two temperature selections had a warm rinse! The dryer was more TOL with infinte temperatures, a glass door and a UV lamp. (oh heck what do we affecionatel and teasingly call it here? It also had a chatterbox spark ignitor. Hers also had an Auto-dry (mechanical time/temp). Ah memory lane. The maternal unit had Maytags and auntie had these. How hugely different in engineering! | ||

This is the one I had for a while - a couple of steps up in the line. They made a similar panel style to this for a few years. There was the full, slanted control panel on the higher end line and then several models like this for a mid-line and the more economy line was a much smaller control box with the timer on top of the selector dials. I think I have all the sales info for 66 & 67 models around here somewhere...
