Chuck,
With the introduction of the WEG Elite model, the Custom Imperial was downgraded to what used to be the WIA and WIB. The Imperial (WIG) name was downgraded to what used to be the Custom Deluxe (WCD) model (with a single kob for the 4 wash/rinse temperature selections, a separate speed knob and no 6 position fabric selector). While the early 1970's 1-18 washers with a water level knob usually show a pictogram of an agitator next to the water level knob, the mid seventies models like the WIA and the WIB didn't show one. The later models did again. And after 1976, even the TOL models didn't have 3 speeds. The Custom Imperial from 1977-78 was the WIC-A (it replaced the 1975 WCI and the similar 1976 WIC) and it still had the lighted panel, the 8 position fabric selector and the pre-wash/extended soak and extra rinse features but no 3 speed motor and no "Hand Washable" selection (it was replaced by a second "Delicate" position). The Elite which replaced the Custom Imperial also had only two speeds. | ||

Congrats! I picked up a 73 GM Frigidaire washer this winter and am very happy with the vigorous washing and rinsing it still provides. They are fantastic machines. As for transporting, I'll defer to others. I think we kept mine upright during transport but it was only a 30 minute trip. | ||

Congrats Brainard!
I never laid one of these on the side to transport them but since they don't have a gearcase with oil in them, if you do, it shouldn't leak oil!
Keep us posted about the machine. I'm curious to see more details about it. I think it should have the pan-type lint filter rather than the earlier bed-of-nails... | ||
