Thanks to GregM and my father. The 1962 EASY automatic is fully restored and up and running. I have had this washer for a while now but finally got around to fixing the coupler and patching a pin-hole leak in the outer tub. I am so excited that I was able to get this amazing machine up and running. This has been my dream machine for MANY years. Enjoy AW.org

Wow, it looks awesome!

That machine sure whips up some great turnover.

A great restoration, geoff! Great video, too. That agitator really moves the clothes. The background hum is kind of Kenmoresque. Beautiful.

Hmmmm...

Reminds me quite a bit of a GE Activator agitator. But, it does have some good roll over to it.

nice to see that machine go to a loving home! I rescued that machine 10 years ago from CT and had fun playing with it and passed it on to GregM.

Enjoy, I see you are already.

Was that a filter-pan you are removing in the video? Does that agitator do the Hotpoint-style "Fountain Filter" deal? So glad that machine was saved, that backsplash is just so "Elroy Jetson" I wish someone could dig up a brochure for that model line--the TOL must have been off the hook.

Very cool! Is that a burp-up style lint filter? With so much action going on, I can't tell!

Congrats Jeff..... On the restoration of the 1962 Easy Washer that you have. Checked out the video, and I like the way this machine agitates its load.

I must say that this is ONE multi-faced machine though. And what I mean is that it has an agitator like a Norge, has an agitator top like a GE, and that thing sounds like a Kenmore.

Talking about having the best of all worlds......

Thank You ALL!!

Thanks for all your wonderful comments everyone.. Yes, the filter pan is a burp-up type. It's not totally effective but it is better than nothing. The vanes of the Spiralator force water up through the holes underneath and into the pan. The wash sounds are very Kenmore-esque. It has a rythmic hum to it. The REALLY interesting part was when I heard it go into spin for the first time. It sounds like a loud Maytag, it's really quite interesting.. When I get the chance I'll have to make a video of the spin drain. It can only be understood by being heard !!!

I do believe this machine has a few "spray rinses" during spin as well ??

I love that agitation, it's almost hypnotic. I can stare at that wash action forever. Thanks so much for sharing.
