So would it be a rim-flo? Might consider getting it if closer. But $150.00 for that and a newer WP dryer is a little high IMO. Plus 1.5 hrs away.
Now I see if I had studied the second pic more I would have seen the Hotpoint name.

Yes, this looks like one of the first Borgs. This is possibly the TOL that Gansky has which has some nice bells and whistles. I would expect he'll chime in on this one. It still features the rounded LH side opening lid and there may be a scrubber and a couple of dispensers under that lid as well as a bonus delicates agitator. |

Yup - 1974 - 75. This is a step down from the TOL Lady Executive so, as Ken mentioned, probably has the small Cuff & Collar scrub board inside the lid. This is still a very full-featured machine likely with extra rinse and speed selections in addition to variable water level and five temp settings. The top of the agitator lifts off to reveal the Handwash agitator below.
Here is the Lady Executive - |

wait.....Greg, in your other vids of this machine, you installed a GE filterflo 4 vane.....
actually my question is, are these agitators in the HP your showing using the tall post transmission..... I have a swirled version of the 2-n-1, for a large capacity machine, but the tranny needed must be for the standard capacity machine in order for it to fit the larger tub..... just wondered if these were a different agitator that used the tall post tranny.... thanks for your input |

Cool vid...I think this Hotpoint HEAVY DUTY 2-n-1 agitator will do a better turnover job for the clothes than the original one...the intermediate vanes on the orig agi hampers and slows the rolling. |
