The answers to all these questions appear to be "Yes". A couple of things:

This seems to fit on the activator post of my WA-850P but, because the machine isn't operational right now, I have no way of determining how it's going to work. But the idea of a solid-tub mini-basket is so "like-OMG!!!" to me that I can't wait to try it. Looks very cool. Can't see how it's going to fill with water, but if I can do a partial fill of the machine, and then hit the WATER SAVER switch, I'm thinking that maybe there will be enough water flo so that the filter-flo flume will fill the mini-basket and then the dribble that's left will work to my advantage for once, keeping the pump primed and allowing the mini-basket to activate on its merry way. Can't see that this gizmo was designed for spinning, though. Unless the clip-on lid will allow some water to centrifuge out, almost the same way that the much later Hotpoint Duo-Load mini tub (which this thing is MUCH more the direct ancestor to) did.
Has anyone here even heard of this thing before? |

That's really neat! I had no idea they had a contraption such as this. Plus, it's very nice to see a box saying "Made In Montreal, Canada" instead of China for a change! Thanks for sharing. Andy |

It's not that unusual an accessory for a wringer washer when they had butter churns and ice cream freezers that fit on the agitator shaft. One wringer washer manufacturer allowed you to power a mangle ironer off the wringer drive. |

At one time long-long ago-Maytag had a meat grinder attachment for their wringer washers-you used the wringer drive to power it-was usable on electric or gas wringers.Seen the grinders appear on EBay on occasion. |

Great find, an absolute miracle if you had to draw water from a well heat it on a wood stove then carry it to the machine either on the back porch or in a shed. alr2903
