To continue, I have emailed the seller asking for pics of the inside. I'll post them when he sends them. I LOVE KELVINATORS!

The Kelvy has a mate.....

He also has a Kenmore dryer. The tub looks a little rusted, however.

I bid on this.... And the guys place is only 20 miles from my house... I talked to him on the phone and hes amazed there is a washerhead network on the net....

Has seller responded to requests for more pictures/ information? I wonder what it looks like under the lid!

Here is a pic I received from the seller of the tub. The agitator is missing.

That's OK, once you restore the Kelvinator just pop in that spare Easy Spirlator you have laying around and you'll be ready to wash!

Easy Spirolator

WOW! Now thats a wicked looking thing. Looks like you could really get "screwed" if you didn't know how to install that!!

Hey, that's kewl! Brings back memories of family friends who had an Easy . . the same people who had the Philco that's etched in my brain. The Easy was a replacement for the Philco.

.....the story continues.................

Roanoke Robert won the Kelvinator! The seller has yet to get back to anyone to arrange for pick-up. hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm. Mark

Hi Toddman!

Hi Toddman! I see that you have spoken to the guy that has the Kelvinator. Would you please send me his phone number? Thanks, Mark

Funky!

Is the Easy Spiralator centric-action like the Kelvinator's ABC design? Or does it go back-and-forth like their Spindrier's agitator?

Hey Nate,

Great pics....thanks for the recognition on the 1/18 manual. The Easy Spiralator ocillated back and forth. Those spiral vanes make for a push/pull wash action, much like a GE spiral or Roto-Swirl.

That Easy/Hotpoint agitator is so kool. I have a lint filter that goes with those things hanging on the wall outside my kitchen door------like a charm-----it hope it draws the rest of one of those machines in!
