We have company this weekend, remind me next week and I will take a picture when I get time.
Wouldn't PYrex glass be too fragile to use for an agitator?I would think it could be Lucite instead?The video clips of the machine are impressive-the "agitator" looks more like an "impellor" since it doesn't have a post.

Remember, this is a demonstrator washer. I don't think the agitator was meant for daily operation... That being said, I'll bet it would hold up...

Functioing Demonstrator
The last operational demonstrator I remember wash full of water and poker chips. Quite an attention getter when you passed by the appliance department.

Pyrex glass fragile???????
If Pyrex glass were fragile you would not be able to take it out of a freezer and put it right into a hot oven, nor would it be popular for use in labrotory setting either. Also I don't think as many pieces that have survived would still be around if it were fragile. PAT COFFEY[this post was last edited: 8/22/2010-14:14]

Pyrex glass-yes it can withstand sudden temp changes-to a point-but Don't DROP any Pyrex item-it will break-During my years in chemestry-have broken a few peices of Pyrex labware from drops.Like any glass it is fragile "mechanically"Maybe the "impellor" design of the Pyrex agitator gives it more mechanical strength.and if it was used in the clear drum with poker chips that shouldn't be a problem.
