Jeff came down yesterday, we rescued the Supreme 80 from the long-closed Whirly dealer where I worked summers during high school. Perhaps someone may remember the machine from my mention of it in July of 2007. It'll camp-out in my garage until Jeff fetches it later. M/N LPA7804W2 (1966 model-year) S/N 01047J551 Anyone have a translation for the S/N? It's a different syntax than the current coding. |

It does work, we ran a several test cycles, washed two loads. The Wash 'n Wear cool down does not agitate. Runs repeated partial-drains and refills through two timer increments. It does the low-speed shift at 4 mins, with remainder of the cycle continuing at low speed. Interestingly, the spray rinses are only 3 seconds long |

Thanks, Leslie! Ted, the store owner's son who did most of the appliance work, refurbished the bearings and such some years ago. He seems to have replaced the original bakelite Surgilator with a poly Super Surgilator ... :-) This machine was used by his mother at their house in town next to the store. |

DADoES ...What a nice machine, that is one of my Favorite Surgulaters it can really roll the clothes in a nice flexible fashion with a slight delayed action, unlike other straight vanes. And what a cool stainless cap, Love it. Hope the best to you and the machine. There are a lot's of fun in a low level wash i love that sound very splashy and rhythmic. Enjoy ! Darren k

Glenn - Two things... First, I know someone in the club that would love those pumps, whom I owe more than one favor, so if you want to find a good home for all three pumps, I would LOVE to buy them. Second, about the serial number....during that time Whirpool and Kenmore serials began with the 5-digit unit number, then the plant code, followed by the year and month. So, your number 01047 is the unit number, and J551 is Saint Joseph, 51st week of 1965, just like Magic Clean told us. If this were translated into the later style, it would come out a J55101047. I like machines that came out of Saint Joe, they are nowhere near as common as Clyde products. Good luck with the machine and please let me know if the pumps are available. Thanks Gordon |

My mother had a Whirlpool just like that, which lasted for 6 years in the basement. If only common sense prevailed back then! NorfolkSouthern |
