I'm the guy with the vintage 1975 Kenmores up for sale in NYC. I also found this while cleaning out my grandparents house.

I thought some time ago, someone was looking for one of these. If so, drop me a line at ponchoguy@gmail.com and we'll work something out...

Thanks.

Thank you.

Am I wrong, or does this thing screw onto the agitator shaft and take the place of the agitator cap?

Some are bolted on, some not

Guys -

Some of these dispensers are bolted on, others are press-fit onto the agitator cap.

The bolt on ones did indeed replace the agitator cap, and these came first, in 1969-ish, give or take a year.

Users really didn't like them because they take up a lot of room and get in the way of access to and from the machine, especially when removing bulky things like towels and jeans. So, the design was revamped a little bit and turned into a removable press-fit dispenser.

In 1976 when white Penta-Swirls and Roto-Swirls became common in MOL models, these dispensers became available in white as well.

No, this version fit over the agitators with the thumbnail caps quite nicely without having to replace them, as I recall. The earlier versions of this dispenser, which were present on mid line models from the late 1960s screwed on and were the agitator caps. They were a little cumbersome, making loading and unloading a little less convenient, which is probably why TPTB revised them to be dispensers that did not replace the screw on cap.

LOL:

I guess you and I got to this at the same time Gordon, however you finished your post before I did.

Snap On type

I'd guess this is a snap on/twist on style by the "tighten securely" language on it.

Kenny: I mailed it out to you today. Should get there by Wednesday and I e-mailed you the tracking #.

Thanks!

tighten securely...refers to that these can unscrew apart for cleaning, a nice feature, and have little nubs inside to "mix" the softener and water while the machine is agitating....also the softener doesn't just sit there clinging to the sides until ready to dispense...always in motion...

when using any machine with a dispenser, I always add water, even if not using bleach or softener....just to keep it clean and flushed out...can't hurt
