This machine came from the home of the original owner. It works perfectly. Let me know if you're interested. We had to pay $25 for this one, so if you're interested, let me know! Mark
GE called their agtitator the ACTIVATOR, Hotpoint used the term Thriftivator for theirs.......perhaps since the companies were closely associated, the same marketing men dreamed up these great names......!
Thank you, Jimmy. I knew I had heard the term, now I know where. I remembered Activator, but did not know if they used another term in the wringer machines. Tom
