You can't buy a budget priced washer with features like that these days!!
It's interesting to compare advertising for BOL machines today to the way they marketed low-end machines back then. Today you would NEVER see a company 'talk up' a cheap washer and showcase its features compared to a high end machine. Instead, nowadays it's all about what details and features they can leave out, like "this washer will only drizzle water on your clothes for a minute on the rinse cycle, rather than agitate them in actual standing water". |

I have a similar single speed washer from 1964 (with the Multimatic transmission) but unfortunately, mine doesn't have it's original agitator.
It has the remote timer and suds-saver features.

Surprising enough, they engineered it to where that did not happen. |
