This is in Davenport, IA and I think it might be a 1-18, but I can't tell for sure. CLICK HERE TO GO TO autowasherfreak's LINK on Quadcities Craigslist |

I sent the seller an email asking for a picture of the tub and agitator. If I had the money and a way to get it home I would buy it. |

I had one of these. It was a fun machine, with a straight-vane, three-vaned agitator with removable column fins that also could hold an in-agitator lint filter if you had it (plus it had the standard Westy hanging-basket filter. It was fun and had lots of smackalation, and could do a pretty impressive load of clothes. Totally hopeless if you had to work on it beyond changing a belt, though, and even that was no fun. For the 2006 wash-in, I had it next to a WC GM 1-18, just to savor the irony. :-) |

Nate---did your WCI Frigidaire washer have the circle-spray fill, like the GM 1-18? I had an '86 Frigidaire top-loader, and hated the curved, narrow vanes (a design quickly dropped, thankfully), but it had the full-circle spray fill and a nice cool-down protocol for the permanent press cycle. They had also moved to a plastic tub, by then. |

Hi Eugene, No, the machine I had filled from your normal Westy fill-point at about ten o'clock. They did make a four-spray version of this Westy toploader design that ran with an ad that said "Four heads are better than one," if I recall. Very cool. No jet-circle, though--that's so cool that they preserved that in some of their later designs. Yes, I know that agitator you're talking about, and it was pretty craptastic. But I love WCI's persistence of parts in their machines--bits and pieces of one manufacturer's design, showing up somewhere else... |
