Interesting machines, and definitely well-maintained! The washer is a 3-speed with the Super Wash option; the original Surgilator appears to have been replaced at some point with a harvest-gold straight-vane. |

Here are the pictures posted on the MySpace page, and since probably not everyone is signed up there I figured I would post them here. First up, the washer timer detail: |

Interior. Original Surgilator cap, but a replacement straight-vane agitator. It appears this washer is late enough to have the splined agitator shaft vs. the hex drive. |

This so reminds me of a Lady Kenmore, and you figure WP had to have, at some point, the LK equivalent; this must be it, even down to the manual button on the dial=cancel. How exciting. Is there any way to get a close-up of the lid so we can see what the ten buttons signify? I've only seen one Roto-flex in my life and had no clue it would be as powerful as is revealed in the rinse agitation video from our brother in Brazil. What a nice Saturday night treat. You rock, Austin. |

WOAH - Get a load of these! Thanks for pulling the photos from Myspace Austin. What an awesome set - and I might add, what a cool house that they are in! I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. If you guys don't mind me asking - how often did Whirlpool put a window in the dryer door? What a set for the first weekend in May! Ben |

Very interesting timer on the washer. usually, Whirlpool timers are so simple, this one looks very upscale. Does anyone know what the numbers signify? |

Ed, "Programmed" Whirlpools like this existed from like 1959 or 19560 model year until this being last year or the next model year. "Manual" simply cancelled all buttons and allowed user to turn timer 360 degrees without having a "stop" in the way from a programmed cycle. This machine was so much like a Lady Kenmore, except the Whirlpool had the Super Washes.

Here's a close-up of the timer (although a bit fuzzy). Notice that the Low Agitation button is "integrated" into the Gentle cycle (Gentle starts at the right edge of the button), although I imagine it could used with any cycle. And note the minimal markings on the cycles -- no wash times and nothing at all outlining the sequences on Gentle or Wash-n-Wear.

Ya gotta love those lit logos. What do the orange pilot lights signify? Interesting how the builder put in those bathtub-style valves for the washer shutoffs. What do the hoses actually attach to? |

~but my husband and I want modern appliances Often these old appliances are nearly as efficient as new ones - especially the fridges. It would be worth your while to keep these, I think. If I was closer, I'd love to get them, but I can't make a trip that long right now and shipping costs would be killer. |
