Dating a Whirlpool....

Whirlpool Footage

Well thank you! I didn't realize it when I got it, but I'm glad to learn that it's a good machine. I normally collect things that are more like 50 or more years old, but certainly some "newer" stuff was good as well

Anyway, there are four more videos that I have of the Whirlpool in action, while running on my 1959 generator set Gasoline powered laundry, just like the old days!

Outer Tub

The outer tub is probably plastic. My mother's Whirly looks much like this and has a plastic outer tub..so perhaps no rust worries there.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check mine out. If it is plastic maybe I'll bump the water level adjustment up a tad. If it's metal, I won't add extra water anymore, and I'll enjoy the fact that it comes from a time in which things were still made of metal.....
