Favorite vintage agitator

[westytoploader]

Hi David,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the Wards spiral agitator at the Convention! Someone else got it though...I WISH I had taken it with me! But the Westinghouse ramp definitely falls under the "behemoth" category as well, LOL.

If the person who grabbed that agitator is reading this, please step forward!

Here's a Norge Thread where a picture of that agitator was posted. The Burpalator looks taller, but that's just because the spiral agitator doesn't have the cap on, and the Burpalator's skirt is thicker to accomodate the water channels. In person, it is simply HUGE.

Needless to say I can only imagine the water action this thing made, and would LOVE to find the mid-60's Wards that was equipped with this agitator.

The Wards Spiral is still here...

Here is the picture of Robert's, we tried to get this to work in the Gobbling Green Monster (see westy's link) but it wouldn't work and we were afraid of breaking it trying to make it stay on the shaft. I'll bet this agitator "gave some splash" but I think there was a scrubber cap on this agitator that protruded out enough to keep the water in the tub.
