Hey Lyle, you have a very nice E2LS there! Looks pristine. Also love that you have the conventional lint filter agitator for it with the fill line right along the top filter inlet hole. Too cool. Let us know what the serial number is that is stamped on the back side of the crown so we can tell what month and year it was made. Thanks for posting! Ben |

Wow, I thought Maytag canned that agitator in 1965 with the introduction of the powerfin for 66. She certainly is a beaut. Makes me want to find one now...........*searches craigslist* CLICK HERE TO GO TO qsd-dan's LINK on Los Angeles Craigslist |

WOW!! What a beauty you have there! The agitator that I have was an option in the machine when my parents bought it. I confirmed that with my mother. I love it because of the lint filter. It does do a great job in taking lint out. One thing that I notice with the Tide is that there is always a residue under the agitator when I drain the water out. Its like some of it doesn't disovle. I have been trying to find a new goose neck for the end of the drain hose. The orginial one coroded and I took it off. I love the bright new shiny tub you have. Seems like bleach and detergents always spot them and I have tried many different types of "polishes" to get it shiny again but to no avail. I would love to see pics of the other new machine you have. Do you use any of them? I have been trying to find either a Kenmore Lady Vista or a Whirpool with the Surgilator agitator and the big open wringer. |

I honestly don't think I would know how to run one of these things. Once the soapy water agaitation is done, then what do you do with the clothes? Do you wring them over the laundry tub or the machine? And what about rinsing? Back in the machine with fresh water and then re-wring them? |

When I was a kid my mom had a wringer washer before she got her Maytag automatic. This is the procedure she used. She had twin laundry tubs both filled filled with clean water. The washer was positioned in front of the left tub. She would put the washed clothes through the wringer and into the left laundry tub. Then she would swing the wringer 90 degrees clockwise and put the clothes in the left laundry tub through the wringer and into the laundry tub on the right. Then she moved the wringer 90 degrees clockwise again. Now the clothes in the right laundry tub were put through the wringer and into the laundry basket. While doing this the next load of clothes was being washed. Gary |

Put next load into wash, Then she would swing the wringer 90 degrees clockwise over the center of the 2-tubs and put the clothes in the left laundry tub through the wringer and into the laundry tub on the right. Then she moved the wringer 90 degrees clockwise. Now the clothes in the right laundry tub were put through the wringer and into the laundry basket. And then separeate and hang on the line to dry

Here's a 1965 Model J that I acquired this summer; I love to use it, even though it is a gravity-drain (non-pump) model. It was still in use when I got it. |

I have one of each of the turquoise-accent versions and all but one of the red-accent versions (still need the E from the late 1950's/early 1960's). Here's a "group shot" of my turqoise-accent ones. I also have a Model A from 1930; it still runs great. |

Beautiful machines, guys! I love the filter-agitator in the wringer. I saw a wringer with one at an estate sale a while back but they wanted $150 - too much for an agitator even if did come with a free washer. I use my 'Tag rarely, no pump so it makes it a bit tedious emptying it with a bucket. I don't have double tubs so I cheat and use an automatic for rinsing and spinning so I guess I'm not really getting the most from my conventional washing experience ;-) When we were out at Fred's in Chicago last June, we used his 'Tag for towels and linens - rinsing in the double tubs. After we finished all the washing & rinsing, we put the washing in his Neptune to spin to satisfy our curiosity. You can imagine how that turned out... |

The E2LS I found in the trash was missing its gooseneck like yours, but I lucked out immediately when i found that the gooseneck from my 95 Whirlpool fit perfectly. Here's a shot, and in the next roll, will show it separately and the easy attachment. Also a shot of the striations, looking so much like a a sheaf of granite or slate or some wonderful rock formation. You can order this neck easily or play around with what you have or can find. The model number is LSP9245BWO, Whirlpool, from you local large appliance parts store. Isn't Geoff's ulta-white, ultra clean laundry room exquisite. How I envy his visible backyard access. My basement is deep deep in a hellish pit. Geoff ;'D how are we going to find those amazing black 'tators with the stainless steel lint filters--what fun they'd be!!!! The pic shows the last of the 18 gallons, out and down the drain in just over a minute. One of us should show the gang the formidable size of the conventional Maytag pump. |

Here's a picture of the agitators I have that Maytag used in their conventional machines. There is one missing ... the one for the NX. It was a "post-less" agitator. Do you see the lint filter agitator? :-) |

Geoff, do you see any difference in the way the square tub washers wash compared to the round tubs? I saw an ad that said the square tubs are like an extra pair of hands squeezing your clothes while they wash. |
