Detergent selected for this load...Lemon-scented Automat Fax! I forgot where this detergent originated from, or who brought this to Tucson (Steve toggle?)! It's very good, with a pleasant scent and low-sudsing.

* Super Super Roto-Swirl has always been a favorite of mine. It's neat to see the photo of it in un-used condition. Awesome. Thanks for sharing and congratulations! Bob | ||

Roto-Swirl vs. Super Roto-Swirl?
Not being as familiar with Kenmores as I would like, what is the difference between the Roto-Swirl and the Super Roto-Swirl? Also, what agitators were offered in the gold plastic that seems so familiar and when? I should be posting more often, but I have been having entirely too much fun playing with my only vintage machine, my Maytag A208. It's not just a fun machine, it's also the only washer in my house now! Enjoy the awesome agitator, Dave | ||

A208
I had posted pictures in another thread but it seems to have vanished off the bottom of the list. The A208 has a 2-speed motor with a gentile or regular wash speed, and perminant press. Its water selections are: Hot/Warm, Hot/Cold, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold. It is a regular capacity tub machine so the load selections are small, medium, and large. It also has the standard Maytag turquoise Powerfin agitator with a lint filter and a fabric softener dispenser (the former owners of my machine thought the cup on top of the agitator was for powdered detergent!). It also has a bleach dispensor which back-flushes and even overflows when the machine does its swirl-away drain. I love my A208, but it is addictive, I need MORE! I also need a bigger house in which to install and use them! Keep the info coming on the white Spuer-Roto-Swirl it is awesome, Dave | ||

Audio/Video Demos? I would like to hear what that Kenmore sounds like. True, for most people, they probably sound the same, but with the different agitator and motor variants, at least the audio shots would be much appreciated. Same holds true for the above mentioned Maytag model. Many thanks!--Laundry Shark | ||

Austin, what vintage Sears machine is that that you're using here? Something looks/seems unfamiliar about the tub ring/opening that I can't place. Very nice agitator! I think you can still get it at Repair Clinic, but for a King's ransom. | ||

Thanks! That would probably be one of the last of the belt driven 24" machines. I think they went direct drive a number of years prior to the regular ones. | ||
