I did have an Easy machine at one time, back in the 70's. I believe it was about '65 or '66 vintage, judging by the style of the backsplash console. It looked much like many of the machines designed of that era and did have a lighted console. The tub was stainless steel with an aluminum spiralator agitator and reminded me much of a speed queen tub. It had a rather novel design I think, it had the motor mounted sideways and had something similar to the direct drive whirlpools with the plastic pieces and rubber that engage to make it operate. I had never seen anything quite like it and when the engage piece broke, I had no idea what was wrong with it. Fortunately I have learned more since I was 16 years old. As I remember it, later on Easy machines were rebadged Hotpoint machines in the late 60's and possibly early 70's.
