OK.. here is a short video (23 seconds) of the same wringer with a few towels in it.

These poor towels where in there washing for about 3 hours! When I changed them there was a "noticeable" amount of lint in the water!

Thank you VERY much! I first saw this in a picture in Robert's collection and have really wanted to see it up close. Now, I REALLY want to find one for my very own.

I believe this machine was used to demonstrate the famed "Gyrafoam Washing Action" by Maytag dealers.

If I had one of those, I would be watching it like I watch TV. Start a load of clothes, pull up nice comfortable chair, sit back and relax.

Question: Is that agitator only part of the demo, or were they part of regular equipment, considering it does not have a center post?

I have seen pics in a repair book about this agitator being called a "gyrator", without the center post, but never seen one in a regular machine in use

What a cool way to demonstrate a Maytag wringer.

Is this the original plexiglass or did you rig this up yourself?

Yes the clear plastic tub and Pyrex agitator were stock Maytag parts for the Demonstration tub. The agitator has a bit of blue silicone sealant that I put in later because of the hole a the top of the glass, but I suspect that hole is suppose to be there so I should probably go in there and remove the silicone.

Maytag NX

My NX had the gyrator in it made of bakelite. I believe the hole in it was to release the "suction" so you could remove it.

never seen a wringer as a demo before! reminds me of the maytag dishwasher demo machines that had the clear plastic tubs
so you could see all the action!

in fact mike, dishwasher crazy, told me this week he is possibly buying one of those maytag demos!

it's a shame more washers and dishwashers didn't use this fun sales promo in their stores!

that's a great machine and a wonderful novelty!

I'll request a full 10 minute YouTube of that baby please! I distinctly remember that pull out on/off knob as that was about as tall as I was at the time. :)

The no-post Gyratator was not their best. It was o.k. to demo just a few items in the tub, but I remember seeing some of the metal type in old wringers, back in the day, and with a full load they could tangle the hell out of everything.
That centerpost is really important.
