Hey very cool. I think those were mid-60s. Looks like it will need some work but hopefully it will clean up nicely. | ||

Thrilled to bits for you!! Hi Nathan, That Whirlpool looks pretty fancy to me. The ag does look Wp 50's style, but no doubt early sixties too. Early this summer another member told me that ymi is part of the serial # on Wp, maybe the same for exports? Darrel | ||

Suds Save and Pump The Machine has a metal suds diverter, with a huge fabric wrapped solenoid on top. Most whirlpools Ive seen by this stage have had the diverter valve bypassed as its usually sprung a leak. The pump has been replaced with a modern 4 port plastic pump at some stage. Hugs Nathan | ||

I have seen Sears washers from the early 1960s or so that have "Automatic Washer" on the control panel similar to this one. Very nice machine! There was a similar (RCA Whirlpool) one sold here in the states around 1964 or 1965. | ||

Magic Mix Cap Hi Gyrofoam, The Magic mix cap is there, it was just out of the machine so it didnt get lost/broken in the move. Its a solid chrome surround with a glass insert. Most of the bristles still point down, and it was nice and clean, unlike some of the newer ones I've seen. | ||

That is really a nice find. It was so kool to see in action and the little glass window on the "magic-mix" cap just added to the action! But, keep an old fork handy to clean the damn thing, those bristles can be a real pain---for sure don't let the lint dry on them! Have fun! -Steve | ||
