I never really liked the round one, but that's me. The square tub and the square lid permanently attached always got me good--hooked for life. (But I do love the Blue Bell.)
No matter, this is a real and rare surprise. Frigilux, check out the 1950 GE Wringer thread. You must be catching the wringer virus which is more widespread than previously known. I'd love to see the tests you'd conduct like stain removal and water retention after wringing, etc. We are all a product of our upbringing and the decade in which we came of age, but for me there is no such thing as a true, classic, vintage washer man who does not appreciate the wringer, the origin of our species. LOL. But, again, that's just me, always a sense of sorrow for those who haven't known the joy of wringer washing. Frigilux, come aboard! |

$800 is a good price for this washer NIB, if these were still in production they would cost as least this much, they were over $500 in 1984 when MT quit building them. I dough that there would be much to worry about buying and using this washer even thought it has been sitting in a box for over 25 years. Interestingly I never thought that MT wringer Washers were even as durable as most [ better, MT, KM, WP and even GE ] automatic washers in the last 25 years they were built. They had lots of problems with transmission seals both top and bottom and the water pump was no where as good as the plastic water pumps used in automatic washers. |
