Does anyone know where I could get one of the fine tubs for the older Long centerpost for a Whirlpool? I'll pay a good price!!

Shoot - I was going to post a couple 24" baskets before I got into the rest of these, so I could show a comparison to the 29" standard capacity - forgot. Well, here are a couple anyway.
First is my 1967 Kenmore 100 - another BOL blue - this one looks dull but it was warehouse dusty, however it is not as pristine as the other BOL blue above. This is a 24" tub however.

My 1982 built Kenmore 200 24-inch machine. Blue-gray tub this time. Only the true BOL of this era had the BOL blue tub, but we hadn't seen them for some many years so they were cool to see again.
Later tonight I'll try to snap a better late 70s large tub in blue gray, and a white 1980s tub to round out these pics. I hope these are fun to look at - they were fun to post.

Long centerpost or standard centerpost? What capacity?

Thanks for all the tub shots. As I suspected, there are Kenmore agitators out there that I've never seen. I love those dark blue porcelain tubs; I've always wanted to find an old Maytag Highlander with the dark speckled porcelain tub. That was the first tag I ever saw.

Gordon: Your collection reminds me of something that should appear in a book,but I can't think of a title right now. I like the different colored agitators that actually "work" with the speckled or spreckled(they are referred to as both, right?)tubs.
Like the penta-swirl and tub; not sure if it had enough holes at the bottom, but the three-leaf clover pattern of holes is striking. The dark blue tub is really a dark blue; normal use wouldn't deteriorate the porcelain; the LK's had a better porcelain finish, eh? Looking forward to any more you post, anytime.
If all Kenmore's and WP are porcelain, I know of one that didn't have the smoothest finish...maybe I am remembering that the speckle is actually raised or as you say, some harsh chemicals were added to it.
Aldspinboy-that white tub, yellow cap and turquoise body of your washer is very nice!!!

Might need the Agitator WORSE!!
BOL blue' basket
This blue tub looks identical in color to a handful of small BOL Maytags inner tubs from the 70's and 80's.
A shame this shade of blue never made it to the larger tubs. Personally, I think it's a gorgeous color.

Phil... thank you very much for your comments on the Kenmore washer.
I would say that the beige tub Gordon talks about from mine seems smooth.
But seems the white one is smoother like glass.
The Pink Panther carton is histeracle love it when he closes the doors on the washers.
And Pink when the coins go up in the air and lands in the coin slot.
I have seen kids really be bad like that in a laundromat you want to ring there necks lol.
Thanks much.
Gordon ...
What a great display of tub shots Reply 15 is the bomb we got the last of the wags
in 1979 or 80 model and you have, the model with the plastic panel three cycle machine.
Was the best , had a strong pump that would make the floor shake.
Came with the gold straght vane agitator, I changed it later with a gold Roto -Swirl.
But I played or changed them out when washing jeans which I think do a great job
better then a Roto-Swirl Agi.
And Reply 19 with that white Penta-Vane really does look good in that machine.
I'm also glad you saved the dumpster basket what a good fine and story.
Here are some more shots of baskets.
Bestcleaning ,,Rodrigo machine baskets in Brazil.
Love this one Gordon looks like your in a midnight sky with all the stars.
Check out the logo cap with the boy on it.

Darren: Glad you enjoyed the Pink Panther - we love him.
You guys are swapping out agitators like changing clothes and living up to the reputation: "Playing in the water" LOL! Do you have to take the machine apart and disassemble the tub to change an agitator? I don't know how my Maytag agitator comes off, but it would be interesting to be able to swap out different agitators..for no other reason to give it a different look and maybe...actually use them for different types of cleaning? I don't know, just thinkin' out loud here.
1) The Surgelator looks like a super water moving, clothes agitating demon; delicate items look like they'd beg for a bag and slow speed.
2) Is reply #34 a Roto-Flex? Is it the same size as the Roto-Swirl? Any differences in the Flex or Swirl? It would be interesting to know how they marketed these differences or if they did at all.
3)The Penta-Swirl is futuristic looking, even to this day, aside from its water moving dynamics.
All these agitators must have unique water moving/ clothes cleaning dynamics, but probably get the clothes as clean as any other in the group, right? It's all in the water and soap used, which makes the presence of different looking agitators so interesting.
Machines today w/o agitators wouldn't be so bad, if they had some water in them, to clean the clothes. Ok, I'm bad.
