This is a picture of the inside of the machine if that helps at all :)

That is one no-nonsense looking washer. The inside is lovely. The rollers look, HUGE.
The colour is really nice. Is it yellow and green or yellow and blue? Could we see a pic of it washing? I remember these washers as all my neighbours had them when I was little. I never got to see inside when it was going. Does the agitator splash much or is all the movement under the water? | ||

Full-skirted wringer washers
I'm guessing this model is from the early 1960s, due to the fact that it has a "full skirt", rather than long legs. But I'm not an expert in Beatty facts - hopefully one of the other Canadian members has more information and can share it.
I've attached a pic of a 1944 model, showing the long legs as compared with a full skirt.

Beatty Wringer Washer Your machine was produced between 1952 and 1956. Its a cool machine! Beatty introduced the full skirt in 1952, but changed the design of the wringer top in 1957. Here is a pic of a late 50s early 60s model

Hi Sam, Welcome to Automatic Washer!
When you stumble across some of the very first washers--Lee Maxwell has quite a few in his museum-- the variety in agitation methods is really surprising. One type has a three-bladed wooden dolly mounted to the lid, and the dolly looks just like agitator base in your machine, without the center-post, of course.
Wondering if the blades grab and slosh the load or if they create currents to turn the load over. Let us know what the action is like. When you say you haven't plugged it up to water yet, very rarely do conventionals have an inlet supply or a valve. A standard automatic supply hose connected to the faucet in the basement sink will do fine, When you get comfortable working with the machine, you can cut the metal fitting off the end of the fill hose and fit it into the drain hose, filling the machine from the bottom. Great fun and almost automatic ! There are quite a few wringer users here who are eager to share their knowledge. Before I forget: the stainless steel interiors are stunning. | ||
