It looks like yours is the model with pull up/ push down controls to the left and right of the timer. If you can't get the pump to operate, you can gravity drain it by lowering the hose near a floor drain.
There should be a narrow handle on the bottom right side of the wringer to reset it, but I can't see it.
Let us know what you can and can't do so we can help you more. Can you get at the underside to work the pump pulley? You have a rare edition. The push/pulls were in production for only a few years. The side handles for agitate and drain/filter were more reliable.
You have a Visimatic, a really good machine. |

which should be along the wringer column where it meets the back of the machine. The number will begin with 110. Guessing that it's a 58 or earlier. The first two numbers after the decimal point indicate the year.
Your timer control is missing. It would be right in the middle with words and numbers around the circumference.
You have the classic Roto-swirl agitator with the scrubber cap, and you're fortunate that it works. Good for you.
Interesting machine. As far as I know, we haven't seen this incarnation of the Visimatic, complete with "CHOKE." Funny and unusual. Tell us more. |

Thanks, Bill. Please reveal your source. Do the early 60's models have chokes?
John Combo, what's up with this choke button? Are you familiar with it?
Tyler, where is the off/ on switch. I am only familiar with the off/on switch as part of the timer. I was thinking that your motor was engaging when you plugged the machine in. That's why I said you were lucky, concluding that when the dial was broken off, the contact points were stuck in the on--or in Visimatic talk-- the "HOLD" position. But now it sounds as if you have a switch separate from the timer. This machine gets more interesting each day. |

Once hiding in neighbor Dolores Moran's basement, when the coast was clear, I kept pressing the shiny steel levers, but they didn't respond. You had to pull them up, about three inches for operation. This is when I fell in love with Visimatics, and waited 40 years to get one. Smiling, thinking of all the washer boys out there lurking in secret, and hope they find Automatic Washer. |
