WELCOME! Craigslist.org seems to be the best option in finding those treasures. The really old machines that have a definite vintage look to them occasionally pop up on Ebay, but that doesn't usually happen too often. Making friends with people who are in the scrapping business will churn out tons of vintage machines! As with both sites, you must check them (and this site) daily in order to swipe up a machine before others get to them. | ||

Yes, you didn't imagine it. My '58 Whirly Imperial has the chrome cap on a Surgilator. | ||

Our 64 Imperial was exactly like that, too. No hallucinations (on this subject) for you. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Robert now thats the real deal, there was also some that had white sides on the plastic cap, and the very top only was chrome. It kind of made one feel, like things are not as great as they used to be. Thats a minty Whirlpool. alr2903 | ||

I have seen that first Whirlpool photo in the Cyber Museum link. It is the 61 Whirlpool featured. Is the second photo also that of a 61? I always thought this was a very cool model. Have a good one, James | ||

Rex, In Surgilators, the black agitator was Bakelite. It differs from the plastic (polypropylene) blue and white agitators in that the bottom vanes protrude out from the skirt on the blue/white agitator, but not on the black bakelite. This was done to improve rollover and was touted in mid-60s house Whirlpool tech literature (thanks to a friend of mine here for the cool paperwork!) Kenmore had a black plastic Super Roto-Swirl for a couple years that many people mistake for shiny bakelite, before the color was changed to Gold. I do not think the Whirlpool splined plastic agitator was ever offered in black. There were some models with blue and white agitators in the early 70s made with chromed caps. The commercial machines that I used at my Grandmother's condo were made in 1972/1973 and they all had chromed caps. I am sure I've seen this in residential models as well. Gordon | ||

Thanks Rickr... self cleaning filter or not....I still prefer the waterfall filters of these machines in any configuration, I always liked the way that it showed how dirty the water was.....kenmore styles were always the best cause they threw the water out to the agitator, could watch for hours...I rigged a whirlpool up once with a magic clean filter to also have the magic mix filter up top also... | ||
