This photo ranks right up there with the picture of Marilyn Monroe trying to hold down her skirt as she walks over the breezy grate. Gorgeous. The machine is a work horse. |

Those "Super Surgilator" agitators were used in the BD WP's with 18-lb. capacity (deeper tubs). |

I think the "last" belt drive was the Imperial Seventy model in 85, or maybe they offered this machine and the Imperial Seventy? |

IIRC, the winged Double-Duty Surgilator was introduced in 1978 on the LFA series 18-pound capacity models, and continued until end of the belt-drive era. It was never used on standard-capacity belt drives or on any direct-drives. This may be an LHA series, which is 1980-1981, based on the timer background being light-colored. The next series change went to a dark-colored background. See Imperial Thread # 20294 for an LHA-7800 (1981) washer paired with an LE7800XK (1982) dryer. Unless it's a photo artifact, lightening the picture reveals the console apparently is wood-grained with a silver area around the water level control and temperature pushbuttons. The LHA series largely had a dark console except around the timer. Possibly there were some promotional and select-vendor models styled differently. As always, the model and serial numbers tell the story on age. |

The last Whirlpool that I bought for my mother and I had an agitator just like this one, which was purchase in either 1983 or 1984. |

There were tons (no exaggeration) of trade-ins every month in the 60's and very early 70's at the huge store I worked at as a young person. Except for the very few that were resold, the scrap guy bought them all...refrigerators, stoves as well as laundry appliances. He was a regular visitor since the pile grew very fast. I doubt there are many vintage washers (and fridge's) shown on here I haven't seen. Armed with my heavy duty extension cord which I plugged into a hidden outlet at the base of a parking lot lamp, I got to play around with a lot of them. It helped that my dad was manager and that the owner was his personal friend. I had a very happy extended childhood.
