Frigi--are you home tonight? ROBERT, HERE'S THAT FILTER!
A while back when Robert restored the Easy Automatic, I talked about a lint filter, which I hoped was not a hallucination. And there it is in your photo: RED-- mine was GREEN, but it's made for the Easy Spin. You swing the DRAIN/SUDS RETURN faucet all the way in, over the filter. Never that fond of it, I inadvertantly left it in my last house. Excited for when you get them up and running. Be careful of the one that's humming: the agitator gear is stuck. You'll have to get under her skirt and start wiggling.
SECRET CONFESSION: If I were forced to live alone on that Proverbial Island and was allowed to take only one washing machine with me, without question or deliberation, it would be the best of my two Easies--hands Down!
