What a difference $35 makes!
I remember a Maytag with the same type of red agitator at a lake cabin we went to when I was a kid. I can't remember if the tub was square or round. Perhaps the era of that agitator pre-dated round tubs? I'm not up on old Maytag wringers enough to know one way or the other. |

Saw the other thread and felt the collective heart attack but knew you wouldn't crack a black filtered Gyrator unless you had too.
Wait till you hear how it sounds exactly like the automatics when agitating, that steady low rumble.
JON CHARLES ~ the rollers are separated to preserve them. That was always Geoff Delph's number one rule: Release the wringer and open the rollers.
You need to get one of these. You would be amazed at the wonder of them.. |

the only wringer I ever had was oh gosh maybe 25 years ago I got it at a farm auction with my dad it was like 5 bucks and it was late 30s. got it all cleaned up and painted and it sat there in the basement for years till one day I decided to use it the first load was fine but on the second load the trans locked up and since I didn't have a clue I gave it away. I remember my grandma doing the thing with the rollers when not in use and she would let me sit on a stool and watch. she had some sort of robot looking blue machine but I remember the sound and the smell oh hot water and cheer

As I have gotten older and hopefully wiser, I have found it pays to pay a little and even a lot more to avoid a difficult restoration project. And don't get me wrong I enjoy a bargain as much or more than anyone else, but not having to spend a hundred hours on restoring an appliance is worth more money up front.
Chris you actually had a washer with a Bakelite agitator, the A102P would have only been made with a black Bakelite agitator. John L. |

It might have been a Turquoise Whirlpool Surgomatic. The old guy who ran the Dorothy Street Washer Recycle Plant said the same thing and it stuck out in his memory. Love to see one, but no sightings so far. The thing about wringers is that they're fun and hands on, and as Larry points out, the Maytag pumps are really to die for. So grab that pump Chirstopher, and slap her on. |

If the $40.00 job doesn't have a pump . . . "You DON'T have a PUMP?" Enter Mr. Haney! |

What year did the underside of the lid go from machined aluminum to the same white finish "porcelain" on both the top and inside surface? Thanks |
