Thanks! Seems like a good machine. No need for bearings which is great news and seems to be free of leaks. The tub is definitely quite loose but I believe I could make an adjustment that should help correct that. The ‘64 Kenmore definitely didn’t free-wheel like this machine does. The agitation is nice and smooth without any knocking. I still can’t figure out how to get the knocking to stop in the ‘64. I’ve tried adjusting the transmission bolt but it still does it. 🤷‍♂️
 
Dirt can't hide from Intensified Surgilator!!

I love how a little bit of water shoots out of the filter at seconds 38-40 on the spin.
 
VERY COOL...

This is a cool looking washer. I've always liked the look of these WHIRLPOOL washer with the control box in the corner. They seem like they're pretty easy to use. And the colors of the control panel & box are so pretty looking. Does the timer cycle light up?

Another neat looking washer from a great era!

Lighted dial would have been a cool feature and I’m sure they reserved that for Kenmores and higher model Whirlpools. Part of what attracted me to this machine was just how similar it is to the ‘64 Kenmore 70 I picked up a couple of years ago. You can definitely see where Sears got the more cosmetically appealing designs to the cabinet and panel to an otherwise identical machine.

Also, noticed how the Bakelite surgilator is not as aggressive as the later white plastic version which has extended fins beyond the base as well as three additional smaller ins in between. Those suckers are really aggressive!
 
Lighted dial...

It sure does look like the dial could light yup on the WHIRLPOOL. And yes, that KENMORE looks great. But to me, I prefer the WHIRLPOOL
