Last Weekends Wash-In Party
WOW Pat you have been busy, Many thanks for putting all that together, You can be the official East Coast Production Co. at all our get together s, Thanks.
Hi Todd the WP agitator mounted lint filter was sold for the people that either bought a BOL 60s machine or for the early 50s machines where no filter was available. I played with this many years ago and it was VERY EFFECTIVE, you can adjust the height of the filter on the agitator so the filter area is just above the washers water level. The filter assembly has huge pumping vanes that lift GALLONS of water through the screen where the lint is capatured and held. It is far more effective that the Norge, solid tub Hotpoint, Kelvinator and would give a GE FF a good run for the money. The only bad thing is that it does take up some room in the tub, so it may slightly reduce capacity.
When I get finished restoring my 1950 Whirlpool pair I will have to do some demonstrations with it on the red Bakelite agitator this washer has.
