The poor lady. She's so grim and troubled by the things we love: more lights, more dials, SUDS-SAVER--YAY! the stuff that makes us grin from ear to ear, the poor Dear. What a perfect pic Robert, esp since there is discussion about spiral vs. staright vane agi's brewing. BUT, as they say in lit crit circles, that POD is very "problematical" The agitator depicted is white, the classic Easy spin standard, but it has a full wide neck which, up until today, i had only seen on the black heavy plastic agi found in the automatics and in late model Easy Spins. This ad has to be from the mid-50's. The chrome stripes and the stick shift handles on the TT are dead giveaways. So Bajespuma, enlighten us: Is there some kind of artistic enhancement going on, or is there indeed a wide-necked white metal Easy agitator out there somewhere. Can't wait to hear the interpretation. | ||

The Mysterious Missing Spiralator
Bjpuma--I don't think it's out there. David's sense of Easy history matches mine. The first Spirilator was metal white enamel with a narrow base and top; the three unique and beautifully curved "fins" extended beyond the base. The second spirilator was black bakelite (sp ?) with a wide neck and top, the one you can see in Robert's "See it Wash" Easy. The white wide neck model in the ad remains unseen. Mark, go back to that basement. It's got to be there, bet Auntie would be delighted and find it heart-warming to know you want Gram's Easy. David, what a hilarious and naughty fantasy: a prison full o' Easies Air, I think you're right--Westy Ramps. Laundryboy, Check your email. Make youe Easy feel right at home. | ||

spin-drying For a portable it does a pretty good job. I generally use the sink sprayer for a final spin rinse.

Perco-- What a Beauty !
Someone took really good care of that baby. Is it fun? Does it spin pretty fast? Laundress, that's the classic agitator. If you look carefully at the agi in the ad, it has a really wide neck. By the way, is there a way to call up an old POD. Also, what does MIB mean? Isn't is cool the way the machine in L's post looks just like the mid 50's Spindrier with the spinner chopped off and a wringer added--same signature chrt ome racing stripes. | ||

From wash to spin! Push in the little button near the top and lift the tub to the spin level.

Bingo
So there is a wide neck metal ! Is it white, and does it look like the original POD ad for Easies? Robert fixed his Easy Automatic Velvapower, but if that is the same transmission in the end of run of the Spindrier, (the last models produced with the agitator and the pump running on the same drive), then I understand exactly why is has problems. I by-passed the drain faucet substituting a hose which I place on the floor. This allows the pump to stay free of water during agitation which is brisk, but as soon as any water lodges in the pump, the agitation reduces gradually to ultra slow, great for sweaters or fragile stuff or filtering the water. It's a lot of fun, a variable speed Easy with recirculation. That's why Easy Spins are such a blast. They can imitate any procedure from an automatic, including very low water level washing; and the variety of ways to configure the two swiveling faucets is infinite and so much fun to play with. | ||
