Can anyone tell the year of this machine? Sorry about the size of the pic but that's the way it came. Anyway the craigslist person emailed me a pic so if anyone is interested here is some more information. |

It hard to make out the agitator, but I suspect this is a 1954 model. The agitator cap looks very odd, I have never seen one look like this. The word "Fluidmatic" on the control panel tell us that this machine is still a fluid drive beam design, sometime in 1955 they changed to the poorly designed new spin clutch which was only used for a few years until they came out with the Co-Axial transmission in '58.

It says Fluid Drive on the dummy knob. From the looks of this panel, there is probably a fluorescent light above. |

Oooo, wish it was closer! Is there something missing from the knobs or are they complete? Does anyone have a better pic they can post of this model? |

I've blown out the exposure to get a better look at the agitator if anyone is interested. I do hope someone picks this up. Is anyone close? I might be interested in something. |

The poster of the original Craigslist ad has a new ad for the Hotpoint washer. He now states that the washer does not work. |
