Glad you started this thread, Glenn. This caught my eye: The lower-end models pictured have consoles that look quite a bit like lower-end Kenmores when they were using faux woodgrain on their consoles; but it's not just the woodgrain--the shape and height of the consoles look similar, as well.
I grew up in small-town upper-Midwest (SD and MN) and never saw a Blackstone washer 'til discovering what was to become AW. |

"Multi-Action Agitation." Indexing tub? I wonder what the agitators looked like. |

This series of washers (with 902 as the top-of-the-line) was the final Blackstones, mid-1970s. This sell sheet shows more of the insides and specs. Different control panel, but the same inside, as the picture-of-the-day models.

The line of models numbered 415/525/625/825 was replaced by the line of models numbered 502/702/902. The lighted panel was discontinued.
The brochure shows the 3 colors available: White, Harvest Gold, and the ever-popular Avocado Green.

Yes, thanks very much for sharing. Cool looking machines; have never seen one in action. Some day perhaps! |

I had to google that, and found this patent description, for "Ramped scrubbing vanes for auger agitator"

Eugene/Frigilux ... correct, it runs only a spin-spray rinse.
