It looks like a 1963 model. I had a bunch of Beatty Appliance literature that I donated to the collection of Beatty Brothers items at the Wellington County Museum in Elora - the Futura line of laundry appliances was one of the brochures!
I had thought these machines were based on Blackstone designs, but after examining your pictures, it looks like a Franklin-built machine (like the Eaton Vikings of this era were).
Perhaps the museum in Elora may be interested in it (but I'll bet you they refer you back to me... LOL)
