Washer virgin here

im getting the impression that Kenmore was one of the first to use a perforated tub, with no *spinout* of the water? why was the solid tub style so common with early automatics? thanks, David

David, actually both types were common. Yes there were a lot of solid tubs and they had their advantages. Perf tubs had theirs too. Maytag actually was a combination. The inner tub was perforated, but outer tub was solid. When the 'Tag drained (while spinning), it actually was both tubs spinning. Whirlpool's outer tub was stationary. Solid tubs were prevalent because it was a holdover from wringers in a way. I think a simplier design.

For those of you who remember her in white-here she is with her new stainless steel top-next to her Westinghouse sister-who's face is another victim of Spray-n-Wash.

Well done Roger, she looks a beauty, just seen the video, what a fascinating mechanism, so the agi arm does turn as soon as the machine is switched on??

Hi Roger. The stainless steel top looks great. Makes the machine look new out of the box. Can't wait to see it.

Mike,
Yes the agitator shaft turns the minute you turn the machine on and as long as it is on.
The place I got the first Blackstone had another 350 which was pretty rough except for the lovely top. I figured taking it apart will teach me a lot about the good one.
