'tis the green water time 'o year here in mpls. 
Nope lol, no green water, that is just the way the camera took the picture.
It looks like the second ring is bigger.
I'm with Louis - that lint chaser ring looks a little larger than normal.
A little off
Am I seeing transmission oil on the water surface?

Missing ring?
I am not completely familiar with this model, but isn't it supposed to have three rings? I only see two, but maybe that's just the way the picture came out (?).

Well....
Let's see, besides the MINT looking agitator cap I noticed immediately that the lint chaser ring is larger than normal.
Could this be one of those crazy Frigidaire engineering experiments, like the different sized openings found in some of the Deep Action Agitators made for the rollermatic's ???
Looking at the attached pic, I think so.

I think there is something up with that water. At first it appears to have some oil floating in it, but it's hard to tell.
hmm
It's not just a little off, it's about 4 states off, because that washer is supposed to be in MY basement! (After you fix whatever its problem is)

No oil in the water, nor is the color off on anything that's just from the flash of the camera. The 3-ring agitator wasn't introduced until 1956 so two rings are the norm on this machine.
For those who guessed the lint-chaser ring is bigger, Ding Ding Ding.
I was amazed to find out that the motor silencing ring in vintage beehive Oster blenders makes for perfect lint chaser rings! Its a perfect tight fit.
And in case you don't believe me lol, have a close up look, lol...

Awesome! Makes you wonder if one day in the Frigidaire engineering department break room, someone found the blender lying on the counter in pieces and this ring missing.
Uni-Matic washer agitator
Now the real question how does it work compared to the original? and can you get me three of these Oster rings?

It works perfectly John, its a hair thinner than the original so it really moves/splashes the water outwards. Fred says this will give us an excuse to buy more Oster blenders at estate sales lol, they are a dime a dozen here yet.
"an excuse to buy more Oster blenders"
I was thinking the same thing - there are 5 or 6 sales here tomorrow so I'll be shopping for Osterizers!

Oy vey!
Sacrificing those wonderful Osterizers for a bit of fun! lol

very cool
who knew?? I'm going to have to keep an eye out for an Oster beehive blender and then I can change my 55 two-ring pulsator into a three-ring. Wouldn't that be cool? ... an all-black three-ring pulsator.

No frickin' way. This is soooo cool! I'm with everyone else, let the beehives be damned!

The Ultimate Lint Chaser
Even if it doesn't chase more lint, it has to be a blast to watch. How 'bout a shot of this new-born water current? And how did this discovery come about?
"Everybody wants one." ( a famous song, forgot whose )

Smart and Dumb
Sorry I missed all the fun, I was watching "Awake" to which I am addicted, and not just because the guy is gorgeous. But I knew the giant Lint chaser was too gigantic immediately, but I have no idea how or where it is in the Osterizer--gotta be inside, right. Or what you were doing inside the blender. ;->

Since vintage blenders are so abundant and cheap here at the estate sales, Fred turns some of them into adorable lamps. But in order to turn one into a lamp it needs to have its guts removed, including the lint chaser rings.
So, for those of us who are going to start pillaging Oster blenders - does this apply to most vintage beehive's, or does it also possibly apply to some of the square base models as well? I have a few spares of both around...

I have absolutely no idea Ben. I can't even say that this was in all the beehive blenders, it might have been just a TOL feature.

No worries Robert. The discovery was enough of a treasure for the group. Now it's time for the tear down and learning process to begin.
Chase that lint!
