Guys:

My '54 Unimatic is developing a split in the bottom rubber pulsator. Is this going to affect the washing action and does anyone know where I might get a replacement?? I remember my mother's unimatic also having this problem back in the 50's. Thanks for any input.

Can you post a picture of the split, maybe we can help? You might be able to do a silicone repair from underneath. I don't think its gonna make a big difference in washing action until it gets bigger.

All replacement pulsator sources that I know of have long dried up.
