Lyle, I'll keep you in mind!
But I have no plans on selling her! My observation is that the Kenmores are more rare than Maytags - at least, in good condition. As I stated in previous threads, I was fortunate to find this one at an antique/collectibles store in Washington state. I've never seen one in western Canada.
Thanks for posting the pic of your Maytag E2L with lint-filter agitator!

This is my great aunt's 1977 Maytag N2LPS (though the "S" has been bypassed with a bolt). It was my first appliance, as I got it from the estate when no one wanted it. It has some rust damage on the legs from being partially under floodwaters during Hurricane Isabel, but still runs like a champ. 
I've put the link below from when we first fired it up a few years back.

I'll join in the wringer washer party too. This is my Viking which I use on a fairly regular basis.

I'm in!
My E2LP. Rescued from a barn where she sat dormant for a decade or so... One of my earlier YouTube videos, too.

I had to work a bit on the chrome but she came out of her slumber in remarkable shape!

I picked this one up recently and it will require a bit more attention. I think the wringer head is locked up and it broke the drive shaft to it. Not sure of the age...

Used mine today!
I thought I'd add to the thread since I had both the washer AND the camera ready!
5 loads in my June 1964, E2LP. It should last another 50 years!

Brad I always admierd your wringers.
And other members as well.
But the agitator in the kenmore, is
one of the designs that my aunt had in
Camden NJ.
She never stopped the agitator much.
She just will put two to three towels in the
wringer as the water would fall over the agitator made more wash drama and then a
a swoop of her hands catch another handful.
Then a load more before and empty to start a fresh fill.
The agitator design reminds me of two in one
Odd looking straght vane.
I see it as male with the long flat vanes and
the shaft slight female with soft half vaned.
And it seems it guides it to the large vanes.
As well as pulling a long sleeve shirt into the
Shaft and down it goes.
Also the high top curve vane says ATTENTION !
Love it.

So pretty, Darren, Brad & Company
Love'em all, but if I could only take one to that proverbial island for the rest of my life, it would be the Visimatic, the rarest and most coveted of childhood experience, and longest one in coming as an adult.

Notice the garden hose above
My favorite thing is modifying them to make the machines fill like automatics. Here's the Visi inlet modified from the filter option.

Here's the Maytag E2LP's installed inlet
Trying to out-shoot her automatic sister--had the valve opened too far. Love it.

For Darren, Norgeway and all Norge Lovers & Wringer People
Took this for Kelly last summer. This is the pre-burpolater, where the shooting slits were vertical on the column rather than horizontal at the top.

Beautiful thread, I'd like to contribuite as I just found lately a nice photo with a funny story behind, ie the only personal photo I have closer to a wringer washer and cannot post it, is a photo taken from the town's historical book collection, of my father helping the ladies at the church summer camp with their 2 maytag wringers in the background, they shoot that photo that day he was helping them, funny enough, I already knew the reason why he was in that picture before I asked...
It was not because he loves washers and laundry as I do, but because he got caught in something and was punished to forced works helping ladies to do laundry...LOL
How I'd have liked being punished that way too!!!!
