Again a Perfect Fit!
But this is what is going to be even more fun, the Wizard wash tub is wider than the Speed Queen, so the Franklin Angel Wing Agitator in the Speed Queen is going to make for killer agitation!

WOW!!!!
Yay to trans-agitation! :-D
What's "big red" from--a Coronado?
I can't wait to see how the different agitators work in the different machines!
Oh, btw, Robert, I found the issue--I was confused, because my pics and hrefs work from a Mac (Safari apparently automatically compensates), but now that I'm on a PC, I notice they do not work from Internet Explorer...thank you for noting that.

Robert, May we know the model number of the machine? And also can we see a video of it washing and the overflow, and the spin cycle? Thank you Robert..
Wow..
Now I REALLY want to see this machine in action, especially with Big Red, I missed out seeing it last time AND am still waiting for a copy of the vid...Tap..Tap..Tap.....LOL
I would have said Hotpoint / GE as its soooo similar to the gubbins of the Hotpoint filterflow top loader, this is my 1989 machine, motor, tranny and even the pump coupler...FAB

That Wizzzaaaaard agitator will be brutal in a SQ.
More interesting, will be the red one in the Wizzzaaaaaard. I am curious about the roll-over----might be even better with the SQ agitator!

I think we can arrange that Mike, September and the VCCC convention is just around the corner.

Very interesting...the Beam/Franklin relationship! I have an instruction manual for 1954 Wizard washers and it seems the Wizards of that era were Beam design...the top of the line model says Fluid Drive on the front. (I think the bi-level top of the cabinet on the TOL model is way cool!)

and speaking of big red...
and it appears the agitator in these early Wizard automatics was none other than...big red

Oh my this is a riot
but it is abnormal behavior! Robert you get those agitators back in their correct machines before the whole Universe comes collapsing in on us! You'll forget you know then we'll all be in a fine mess.

I have a simpson fluid drive
That has a label on the back, that says Manufactured by Simpson Bros Ltd, under license from Franklin Inc USA.
So there was some relationship there between the beam and franklin designs, at least early on.

connection with Simpson
Leon,
In your earlier thread about your beautiful push button Simpson I referred to a late 1950's fully auto Simpson that looked like a Hotpoint but had a similar agitator to your Simpson and Robert's Wizard described above. Another connection with Beam/Franklin?

Rich that Wizard owners manual is great. Wouldn't it be fun to find that Round machine at the top!

That old round cabinet automatic caught my eye too! I wonder if it is bolt-down or suspension?
I think that this is a suspension machine Rich! I have a repair manual for the Coronado version of this and it is not a bolt down.

A "HOT " spray rinse! Ah the luxuries of old
Imagine adding more HOT water later in the wash. How absolutely decadent!!!
Any chance I could get the DVD or "montage video" referred early on in the post.
We had a Western Auto right up on the main street in our neighborhood and your s truly was in there drooling at the Wizards all the time. When The Tower Frigi was dying, I asked my mother, the Uber-Frigidaire snob, if we could please get a Wizard right up at Western Auto...it's so close, and blah blah blah.
And she said: Are you kidding me? Who ever heard of a Wizard. What kind of a silly name is that for a washing machine. And Furthermore, who ever heard of buying a washing machine at Western Auto. Ah, Mothers !!!! I was do deprived; it was Frigidaire or die.
Happy to pay for the DVD or video. Thank You.

Interesting! Like the others, I'd like to see video of this in action. I've only seen a few Wizards in my entire life even thought there was a Western Auto in my home town.

Robert!
I have two dryers that match this washer. (You'll have a set!!!) If you would like one of them, just let me know. Mark

"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!"
So how did you do it?
