While I'm not on the hunt for classics these days, a '57 Gyromatic is one of the few I'd still go nuts for.
Not sure on the name change - going from Gyromatic to Tumble Agitator. Some of the last bolt downs were sold up through '53 or '54 (I'd have to check the archives).
I believe the switches are for either wash and rinse temp, or wash temp and heater switch.
Steve - I too used a gassy early 60's Duo as a washer and loved it.

EDIT - the Philco version of this washer has the sales brochure available on AE.org (WGG-C). The two slider switches are indeed for Wash and Rinse temps. Too cool! There also was a model down that looked more like the UK version and the wash temp was determined by the timer setting (WGG-D).
