Looks like a late 60s model -- am hoping to pick up this week just for fun and parts! (I should really pick up the weight bench to work off the spare tire I've grown lately!)

Not late 60s. More like 1977 or 78 right before the plastic lid handles. A great washer nontheless. | ||

Rusty Whirlpool
So, here it is, in all its rusted glory. Just picked it up yesterday for free. Other than the cabinet, everything else is in good order, just that it sat for many years on a back porch so the belts disintegrated. I did plug it in and it works fine -- will probably part it out, but might be a fun restoration. I didn't realize it's an 18-pounder -- nice capacity.

 Knit cycle has a 1-stage cool down ... after wash there's a partial drain, refill with cold water, 2 mins agitate, the continue with the normal rinse & final spin sequences. This as compared to Perm Press which has a 2-stage cool down, and Gentle which has no cool down. It this machine an LAA or LDA model? | ||

Glenn is right on the money
the cool-down in the Knit cycle was a real surprise. I have the same machine, rusted almost in the same spots. I had pix & stories in another thread, which you missed. It was the day before you found this. Cool coincidence, Todd. These beasts are indestructible. The surgilator is standard, not super. Enjoy this machine, very versatile, lots of fun, tons of room in the tub. See L's thread #38158 Funny Whirlpool advert.

Solid Seller If I could get one of these when I was in business in the '80s, it would sell quickly. It was a good reliable machine, and people liked the features. Some of them did rust, however. | ||

My husband says it's a rust bucket and part the thing out, but I'm thinking with a 2 x 4 reinforcement behind the rusted area, it should be solid. Everything else looks good -- just a couple of belt replacements. I'd love to see this thing up & running again and I just happen to have a little room in the wash house for it...

I think they changed the name to double duty super surgilator, when they came out with the "winged" version. | ||

Mickey -
When WP changed from bakelite to polypropylene for their agitator, and the part went from black to pale blue (white later on) the new 'version' was the super because indeed, the fins extend beyond the base. Whirlpool made a topic of discussion of this when introducing it to their techs in some late 1960s technical literature. As Washerlover said above, the bakelite version has flush fins which do not extend beyond the base. Gordon | ||

Todd that's a nice Whirlpool !
The long fin Surgelator is my faverite . It has a wave that flex the clothes a little better then the Short vaned model. Not a fan of the Super Surgelator for extra capacity washers. Well I got the baby blue agitator. But not the cap lol can't find it. Here Todd. I got this from John Le fever Could you believe I had this with me on a Greyhound bus lol.

This is wonderful--I had no idea. Thank you. Would love to see the black no-fins-extended Surger, aerial shot or out of the tub.
Darren, I have a blue one too. I'll shoot it when a camera person comes by. Mine looks bluer than yours, probably the light makes yours look white. With my luck, mine will come out whiter.
What would we do, where would we be, without our fellow washer lovers? Good night and sleep tight. | ||
