Just saw this model on the Frigidaire web site: FFTW1001PW (link provided). It has an agitator! The earlier Franklin/WCI based agitator washers disappeared from the Frigidaire web site about a year ago. The new machine is not Energy Star and retails for $599.00. Since it is a new Electrolux...

I'm intrigued by this washer. I don't really know why...could it be the lint filter? Maybe because it's so rare, who knows...Are there any out there? I know Robert has a 1966, and another member has a 1964, but are there any 1958 or '59 models out there?

My Aunt's 1961 Norge Lasted a Long Time! My Aunt had a 1961 Norge that lasted 27 years. It had the burpalator agitator and the beige lint filter. My Uncle was always talking about what a great washer it was. He was a "Railroad Man" and a good mechanic. You couldn't fool him. If he said it was...

Loved It I'm speechless, except to say I loved it!!!

My Mom Had an Identical Machine My Mom had an exactly identical machine from 1960 to 1968, and the she gave it to my Grandmother, who used it until she died twenty years later. (Mom got another FF, a 1969, which she used another thirty years.) Twenty eight years for the 1960 machine!!! I don't...

Wish I Had a Time Machine I would travel back to Marvin Adams Appliances in Thomaston, GA, June 1967. I remember being allowed to go into the attic of the appliance store. It was FILLED with washers, including at least two 1955 Unimatics and 1961/62 TOL machines, and one brand new 1967 with the...

Speed Queen AWN 432 I bought one about two months ago. There's no ATC -- hot is as hot as you set your hot water heater. Warm is mixed 1/3 with 2/3 cold water. It does fill to about 3/4 of the way, but that can be easily adjusted, and Speed Queen is OK with you doing that. I'm quite pleased...

I Recommend the Speed Queen I recently had to retire my 8 year old GE agitator washer. The transmission was shot. My wife and I wanted a machine with mechanical controls without ATC (Automatic Temperature Control). We bough a matched set Speed Queen Top Load agitator washer and the dryer. I...

My Aunt Had One II I never did figure out the Burpalation on my Aunts's Norge. I do remember the washer rather dramatically swishing the clothes around in the spreckled tub during the wash cycle. My Aunt did use the filter pan as a detergent dispenser as well. The washer did a superb job of...

My Aunt Had One My Aunt had what I now realize was the AW-G-244 model. I remember how amused she was that I wondered why the fill flume didn't spout water into the little beige filter pan in the same way that Mom's 1960 Filter-Flo gushed water into it's bigger green filter pan when the machine...

Info Greatly Appreciated!!! I am so appreciative of your replies! Not only the info, but also the thought that I'm in a club with a great bunch of folks. You're my friends! Thank you so much...

I have a 2004 BOL GE washer. Recently, I started seeing a brown ring of residue around the top of the tub, about 2 inches high. I have tried wiping off the residue and running a hot water cycle with a cup of bleach, but the residue soon returns. Can anyone tell me what's happening? Can the tub...

Suspension System Yay! Is the machine a bolt-down, or does it have a suspension? I juast read the pdf. The machine has a suspension system.

I noticed today an article in the Wall Street Journal that Haier has put in a bid for Fisher and Paykel. They already own 20% of the company. They're going for control. Is this good or bad? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444017504577645153689391104.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Fisher and Paykel EcoSmart The Fisher & Paykel EcoSmart has an agitaitor, and you can select one of three water levels or let it auto-fill. It has ATC, but hot is as HOT as whatever comes out of your tap. One of our members swears by them. You can buy one at Lowe's or a dedicated appliance...

The Danby top load agitator washer with a mechanical timer (DWM99W) disappeared from their website some months ago, and I thought it had been replaced by the "electronic model." The DWM99W is back! (Danby now offers both mechanical and electronic-control top-load agitator washers.) Are these...

Roper Version (probably identical) I saw the Roper version of this machine at the local Home Depot. It actually seemed a fairly nice machine. It had a spreckled porcelain tub and a single-piece straight-vaned agitator. It does spray rinses on some rinses and a deep one on others (presumably the...

New BOL Roper Model RTW4640 I saw one today at Home Depot. It had three water levels and three temps, and it had a spreckled porcelain tub with a single-piece, straaight-vaned agitator. The lid stated that some of the cycles provided only spray rinses. Am I right in thinking that a spray rinse...

On-Premises Maytag TL AGI This machine is still in production and is a DD with a black, single-piece agitator and a spreckled tub. It has two water levels and has 3.2 cu. feet capacity. Does anyone know if it does a full fill, does full rinses and whether it has ATC? It's called an MAT15MNAWW.

Early A206 Agitator -- Detergent Dispenser? Regarding the black polypropylene gyratator agitator in the standard capacity Washpower Automatics (A106, A206), could it be used as a detergent dispenser (by pouring the detergent down the column) as in the 142 and 700 models? (Why am I so fascinated...
