Thinking about Darren and the Whirlpool he got off of me, where we mentioned of a single speed machine and adding a vari-flex agitator for the flexablility of gentle action wash.......my mind, such as it is, has done a similar switch-out, I have a Hotpoint RimFlo, single speed, 2 cycle machine, standard capacity, originally equipted with a roto-swirl........

Very interesting and simple solution to the single speed issue.  Martin, your resourcefulness never ceases to amaze me!
 
Your modifications are like what Norge did with their Ripplet agitator which replaced the regular one for washing blankets in a one speed machine and the Blackstone red agitator skirt which essentially fit down over the agitator and reduced the size of the fins to give gentle agitation in their one speed machine. Kenmore offered the Variaflex (sp?) agitator with adjustable fins at the base of the agitator to control the violence of the agitation coupled with a selection of agitation and spin speeds.
