The poor lady. She's so grim and troubled by the things we love: more lights, more dials, SUDS-SAVER--YAY! the stuff that makes us grin from ear to ear, the poor Dear.

What a perfect pic Robert, esp since there is discussion about spiral vs. staright vane agi's brewing. BUT, as they say in lit crit circles, that POD is very "problematical" The agitator depicted is white, the classic Easy spin standard, but it has a full wide neck which, up until today, i had only seen on the black heavy plastic agi found in the automatics and in late model Easy Spins.
This ad has to be from the mid-50's. The chrome stripes and the stick shift handles on the TT are dead giveaways.

So Bajespuma, enlighten us: Is there some kind of artistic enhancement going on, or is there indeed a wide-necked white metal Easy agitator out there somewhere.

Can't wait to hear the interpretation.
 
Easy Twin Tub

Hi Everyone,
I just sold my house and have to get rid of my easy twin tub. its in awesome shape, I replaced all the hoses on it, the only thing is it leaks from the pump, but she spins and washes great..
 
when i was much younger 8 washers 3 dryers

A town we lived in had an old mat and i believe that was the spiralator in the commerical machine, as well. WAS this the one that was the early rebadged westy T/L?
 
My name is David and I am an Easy freek

I feel woozy 'cuz I love Easy! I would happily work in a prison laundry if they had Easy spindriers.

I wish they would have made Easy spins with a super fast spin like a certain british TT. Can you imagine the spray out of the rinse cone at say 2,500 rpm? Maybe Robert can build us one...

The spiralator that worked the best had the fins flair out from the small cone shaped base. That one turned the clothes real good and would spit in your face, like a beloved camel. Will look for a picture...
 
mickeyd you read my mind

I was thinking the same thing! More lights, more dials, more buttons?? Yeah, bring em on.

I don't know but since I've seen this ad, all my agents are looking for the elusive white, metal capped spiralator agitator (in its natural habitat, of course).
 
grandmother had one

When I was growing up my grand mother and aunt had an easy on the back porch...it was wash rinse spin then out the door to the line. I loved that machine. I was forbidden to touch it..althought when no one was looking I would pump the "stick shift" and wind the timer. After my gm and aunt decided to go modern they start going to town to the mat. The Easy got retired to my aunts basement (you know they never part with anything..working or not). My uncle died last month. After the funeral the Baptist women fixed lunch for everyone at my aunts house. I had'nt been there in at least 25 years...When no one was looking I wanted soooooo bad to sneak down the basement steps to see if the Easy was still there..I know it was. If it had been approproiate I would have asked my aunt about taking it home...but I figured it was one of those things my uncle purchased for his wife and mother and it would have been a bad time for her to think about parting with something. I've kept my eyes peeled for one; however I never see them down south..always seems to be in that far off land we call "up north". If anyone has any pics of Easy..please post them/mark
 
The Mysterious Missing Spiralator

Bjpuma--I don't think it's out there. David's sense of Easy history matches mine.

The first Spirilator was metal white enamel with a narrow base and top; the three unique and beautifully curved "fins" extended beyond the base.
The second spirilator was black bakelite (sp ?) with a wide neck and top, the one you can see in Robert's "See it Wash" Easy.

The white wide neck model in the ad remains unseen.

Mark, go back to that basement. It's got to be there, bet Auntie would be delighted and find it heart-warming to know you want Gram's Easy.

David, what a hilarious and naughty fantasy: a prison full o' Easies

Air, I think you're right--Westy Ramps.

Laundryboy, Check your email. Make youe Easy feel right at home.
 
Did someone say EASY?

I don't think that this is exactly the Easy that you all are talking about but I thought it was cute as hell and it works very well if you just want to wash 3 or 4 shirts/shorts or a couple pair of pants. I found it, recently, in a fairly high-end antiques store and they looked at me as though I was mentally challenged when I brought it to the desk to pay for it:-)

Here are a few pics!

Perco-- What a Beauty !

Someone took really good care of that baby. Is it fun? Does it spin pretty fast?

Laundress, that's the classic agitator. If you look carefully at the agi in the ad, it has a really wide neck. By the way, is there a way to call up an old POD. Also, what does MIB mean?

Isn't is cool the way the machine in L's post looks just like the mid 50's Spindrier with the spinner chopped off and a wringer added--same signature chrt
ome racing stripes.

I love that sooooo neat I want one What price range was it ? I am calling the antique stores today
 
sooo cool

Now that's what I call a find....how fun...I'd have washed everything in sight by now if I'd brought something like that home. Thanks for sharing the pic...What year do you think it was made. I saw two mini wringer washers at a flea market back in the summer..but never anything like what you've got. have fun/:)m
 
The funny thing is...

I saw one of these, in terrible condition, in another antiques mall, just about two weeks before I found this one. The bad condition one was either $65 or $86 and it has since sold. Mine was only $25. I don't know what they're worth but I thought that it was a lot of "look" and "fun" for that price and condition!

I don't know what the RPM's are but it spins pretty fast. The clothes are just a blurr as they are in my regular washer. I wouldn't want to stick my hand down in the tub while it's spinning. It's a lot of fun to use! It's great for just a couple of items. I would say a couple of pair of shorts and two shirts. I think that is what I was washing in the pictures!

I have another "mini" washer that I will post pics of later. I have never heard of it and neither have a few washer "experts" so keep your eyes peeled for the Sandusky!
