 I have a New in the box Monkey Wards T.O.L. disposer circa 1967..It's a re-badge Waste-king Universal never been used.I did plug it up and it came right to life.This whole disposal is made out of a cast Nickel,Iron,and Steel..Flywheel,hammers,and huge grind ring.. These are my favorites because they never dull..Most disposers are made of shiny S.S. not this one it's all black inside of it.. There is non wearing exit slots and surgical steel undercutter blades that shred corn husks and other tough to grind things.. The disposer says it is a 1/3 H.P. but draws 5.9 Amps the same as my 1/2 H.P. 1969 SS3000 and my 1971 SS8000 also my 1972 SS7000. I have found out a long time ago that H.P. is not that big of deal when you have a T.O.L. grind system.. If anybody is interested let me know... Here are some Pics ... It's kinda odd that this thing was made before we went to the moon and is pushing 50 years old.

Frigidaire stop making disposers years and years ago..I have brochures from the 70s and they were made by WasteKing then.. I have never seen a Frigidaire/G.M. made disposer period and I have been collecting disposers for 20 years.I have had over 300+ disposers in my life and have some very rare machines.Tappan,Caloric,Elkay,Maytag,Kitchenaid,BusBoy,and many many many more.. I am now breaking into the China made ones that are very high end,most of the China made ones are garbage bad... I even had a HUGE G.E. that was made in 1930s it weighs a ton ..It had to sit on the floor its so big... Send me a Pic of what you have I might can help you out on that part.... | ||

I would be interested in your "Monkey" ward disposer-looks alike a nice specimen!!!Great shape-and it works.Have you tried shredding anything with it?I am sure it would work well .Those old WK machines made a fine grind-their shredders were very efficient-hence no need for a high HP motor. | ||

No Rex I have not put anything down it at all.I have so many that are like it I really saw no reason to.I just wanted to see if it would fire up and run.Which it does with no problem. These old ones the Waste-King Universal last much longer than the ones that came out in the late 80s until they were phased out in the early 90s,
I have a old 1970/71 W/K Universal and it's by far the best disposer I have ever used.Beats them all hands down but I guess it should considering that the price tag on it was 299 bucks. The flywheel has a 5 LB weight attached underneath it and that flywheel has teeth on it on top of the steel under-cutters. I have used that thing for two years and the teeth are still as sharp as these new ones I compare it to.It's never jammed plastic forks,coffee filters,Rib,Steak bones are also no problem for it and it is only a 1/2 H.P. motor. Oh yea I also love my 1970 I.S.E. 77 disposer it will also chew threw anything.. They just don't make things like they used to at all...
