This doesn't look really old - did they still make this model into the 1950s/1960s?

The suds-water guard bevels inward in an easy curve and is a little deeper than in later models. At some point they straightened and widened the metal suds-water guard. Then in the mid-60's they added the two-speed option and switch, (not sure about the date, or when the machine went into decline with a new manufacturer (Hupp? maybe) who changed the pump assembly and drive--a disaster. I have one. Sure that someone sooner or later will know all the facts. Easy Spins are currently sold in Mexico. |

I have a 58 and 69, and the water guard appears to be the same, I have however noticed that a few years before 1958, they did change them. There used to be a bolt on the right of the suds-guard, directly to the right of the spinner opening. This suds-guard had a slightly different contour. The later 50's and up have L-shaped tabs welded to the outside of he spinner tub and the guard bolts directly down on those. All of this design seem to be the same. On a side note, I was always surprised that the spinner guard was not porcelain. My 58 is in such good shape in comparison to the 69 that I though it was too until I took it off. The 69 is really a heap, it's a poorly built machine when compared to the older machines. My 69 has a worn drive-block and the overall build of the rest of the machine is nothing like the 58, which has weathered the time much better. -Tim |
