Perhaps a hybrid
of a GE - Hotpoint. Maybe even a different brand name on the console??

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Here's you next hint:
When you select Cotton/Linens you get a <font color = red>HOT Wash</font>, then a <font color = Blue>COLD Spray Rinse</font>, then a <font color = Blue>COLD Rinse</font>, and then a <font color = red>HOT Spray Rinse</font> in the final spin.

well it says it has a 1/2 HP motor. *LOL*
The tranny and the pump coupler do look TRES GE to this untrained eye...

Is that an off-balance switch that *beam* hits to shut off the spin? Or is it simply a buzzer of sorts?

What in the world? Something made by hotpoint co?
That's an awfully tall looking transmission... Perhaps the agitator doesn't oscillate? Maybe... just maybe... it goes say... up and down?

Wizard Citation, design by Franklin.......
Ding, Ding, thank you Jimmy, you got it! Yes it looks like a GE Pump coupler, but it's a Franklin pump coupler actually. And I have no idea why there is a Hotpoint belt in this machine, someone obviously had worked on this machine before and figured out that a Hotpoint belt was the same size as a Franklin belt.
Yes the "PIG" as I lovingly call it is now out of storage, home and installed for a while to play with. Unfortunately the pump seized up while it was in storage and the timer needed to be repaired, so that is what I had been working on for the past four nights, but tonight it did it's premier wash load tonight, at least as well as the Pig can!

Here he is washing a load of towels, the lower front panel is off so I can check for leaks, not a one YAY. I had to fight with the poor dear for the past three days trying to get the supports that are welded to the outer tub that hold the pump in place to stop leaking. There were pin holes underneath the welds at the bottom of the outer tub, oy!
There is nothing like brand new vintage parts!
Check out the very earliest "Angel Wing" agitator! This is the very beginning of the WCI Angle Wing style agitator, from 1965.
Yes and the money shot of course...

And if it looks like it's splashy during wash, that's because it is!

Steve that is the off-balance relay and buzzer, by the way.

yay for the pig
Oh I love this machine, good to see it back Robert. I was fortunate enough to experience this in person and it's more than a pig, it's a HOG.
And Greg, how DARE you find me over in the Modern forum! I can't get away with anything these days LOL

Wizard Washers
Looking at the tranny, were Wizard washers made using some GE parts? My grandfather had the matching dryer in coppertone. My grandmother loved her semi automatic wringer washer. She used to brag how she get her whole wash done in the time those automatic washers to do just one load.

Hi Robert,
You did a real beautiful job on restoring the wizard. I enjoyed the video you sent out very much. The top of the adj reminds me of the goose neck Hotpoint. This is a real gem of of washer. Did these models always stay solid tub?
As much as I enjoyed the Wizard my eyes went to the wonderful Kelvinator next to it (now that is a real show piece)
Best Wishes

Robert,
The above inspired me to play the CD of the Wizard you distributed last year. It was great viewing and fun to hear so much water running and see splashing. Nothing like we see in todays machines.
Thanks again,
Peter

YAY Wizard!!
Yay, Robert!! How cool!! I had fun watching this go on a DVD that Roger showed me. I have to say, you wouldn't have itchy clothes with the amount of water that this thing uses!
Those mechanicals are amazingly GE-esque. I had not the slightest clue. Did this design stay basically in place as the machines evolved--i.e., did a mid-seventies WCI Kelvinator have essentially the same mechanical layout underneath, I wonder?
Love that agitator
