I confess to Almighty God, to Blessed Mary ever Virgin, to Blessed Michael the Archangel, to Blessed John the Baptist, to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, and to you my Father that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed. Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech Bless Mary...and all those cool people all over again... to pray to the Lord our God for me.
YOU GOT IT! This is the one you were trying to arrange shipping for. You'll love it. Wait till you see how fast it spins--900 rpm's--unheard of in a BD WP--except in the portables.
Congratulations. If you'd like to see a video of it, I have one on YouTube under Dorthy Street Wash Machines. Misspelled, but that's how it's listed. My computer won't YouTube, but feel free to link it.
That Confiteor was really sweet; now i can skip my bedtime prayers. Good Night Sweet Heart and thanks for the treat.

Out With It!
Really don't know what came over me, I mean it's not like one has room to fling a dead cat (I beg your pardon)around here in terms of appliances, but when one saw the listing on CL simply made an inquiry. The inquiry lead to the man "holding" the unit for me, then felt almost beholded to take the thing.
So after much going back and forth about price (seller wouldn't budge), and shipping finally committed myself to the thing. All told am now out of pocket for about $200, including shipping via U-Ship (was not that dear, but wasn't cheap either), however once saw the thing upon arrival was glad to have gone with U-Ship. The thing is one square large metal object, and weighs nearly 200lbs (according to manual), certianly not something one could easily lift.
This and That:
Have just spent the past several hours washing down the cabinet (with Lysol disenfectant kitchen cleaner in a bucket of water), and cleaned inside the lid and along the top plastic part of the drum. Years of soap scum and dirt simply won't shift quickly, so will see what there is in my cleaning supplies that will do the deed without causing harm.
Have hooked things up with an old drain hose had lying about, and in water hoses that came with the unit. As will be using one hose manual water connection, plan on seeing if there is a quick connect hose kit with extra long hoses.
Just let the machine fill to low with some cold water and now watching it go through a short cycle to see if things are working correctly. Don't know if this is normal, but this unit is not at all quiet. There is a sort of buzz or loud humm, is this normal?

Great video MickeyD! Love the on going comments!
My machine is not nearly as quiet as yours, indeed mine seems to sound like a freight train, well at least a Moi!
Unit fills, agitates, spins, in other words seems to work normally. Will let things rest for tonight and see what there is tomorrow.
Thanks all for the warm well wishes and comments.

Congratulations on your find, it's almost like mine! Yes, the hum is normal. And yes, the suspension is likely to make a jittery/squeeky sound during spin under a load. It's hard for me to describe. These Whirlpool Belt-Drive portables do have a very fast spin speed, and they accelerate surprisingly quick. When you get to cleaning the outer tub, be very delicate with the two-piece tub ring, as I am not sure if a replacement is even available, new or used. The same goes for the lint filter. Take it out once in a while, and enjoy! They are indeed a blast and a half to play with. But I can't say I'd use it as a daily driver.

Launderess, I had a portable kenmore in the late 80's. It was second hand. A friend lived in the downstairs apartment also had one. They hiss and drone and seem to have a personality all their own. Probably because of the soft suspension and rubber casters. They wash well and Spin like a demon. best of luck. Nice machine. alr2903

Sin? What sin?

That's a great little washer, Launderess. Dead cat-flinging issues aside, I think you made an excellent vintage purchase. If everything seems to be working well mechanically, I'd put the hum/buzz down to "character". Enjoy!

Buzz and a Surgilator
My Lady K Portable does the humming buzzing sometimes, I finally got the cabinet off of it, but I don't see anything but a slightly worn belt. I think I much prefer the Whirlpool version with the surgilator though, the Lady K straight vane is splashy and lame (causes a lot of billowing).
Are the whirlpool and the lady K portables' agitators interchangeable? I would love a surgilator in there.
Nice looking little machine though.

If you prefer to use only one hose, less mess and flopping a
1. Buy a brass cap and and cap off the cold inlet
2. attach a quick connect to the hot inlet--available at Home Depot or any cool old Manhattan hardware store I'm sure
3. keep the temps set to hot or warm
4. you're in business
Glad you liked the flick; wish I could link it.
Here's a pic of the water fall rather than the previous fill pic (late nite mistake)
Our machines are identical, except that front of your is MINT and GOLDEN
MACBOY the standard size surgilator fits but the currents are insane, tried it a few times for fun); pretty sure the KM will take a WP, seems they're all interchangeable. Smart, efficient engineering.
LAUNDRESS: you're going to have so much fun with this washer; it may become your daily driver.

The belt drive machines like yours had a much higher spin speed than the direct drives. They were much better for use with the 24 inch 110 volt dryers that were often paired with them in apartment installations.
If by short cycle, you meant the delicate cycle, the motor in these machines is often louder on low speed than high.
Congratulations

So smart, Tom
I forgot, hoping L's machine was going to be fine, but the delicate cycle is indeed loud with a distinct buzzing throughout the wash, but dear Thomas the belt drive portables had a much higher spin speed than the regular belt drives as well--way way faster, 300+

Due to cold rinses, one has to cap-off the hot water inlet valve and use "cold" or "warm" as a wash temp.
There are also metal pieces that connect the two valves, to be fed from one (water inlet) hose.
