Still No Sign of the 1977-1983 Kelvinator "Angel-Wing" agitator

[scrubflex]

No one in this big country came across or found one yet?

 

[bradfordwhite]

sorry.

Last month I found a 70s winged agitator and thought of fobbing it off on you, but figured that idea wouldn't take flight.

I had this Whirlool BD Double-duty Super Surgilator in 85'. Thanks for thinking of me.

 

[bradfordwhite]

I do what I can.

 

[scrubflex]

All is appreciated

I want the whole washerthough my '89 MW Franklin is probably decently close to a 77-83... BTW have you watched that ~1982 Kelvinator sales video on Youtube?-it is a blast I have not seen a pre-1990 Franklin machine in a while-and I am kinda looking...You are looking for the blue version especially right?

Is This Close?

Here is the agitator in my Wards apartment-size washer. Not sure of year but most likely late 70s-early 80s. I believe WCI is the manufacturer of this machine. (And I also have a ‘85 Whirlpool washer with the “double-duty” winged agitator).

little brother.

that is close-bigger version has 5 vanes(or 10 if you count upper and lower separate )Franklin WCI.Cool little washer you have there

Didn't GE also have their name on that design for a time in the 80s?

That one looks like it's in top condition. Excellent find. You even have the set.

a few had similar agitator designs.....

 

[bradfordwhite]

wow.

The field of appliance dreams.

Sorry guys, my dream would be to have the TURQUOISE 10 Vane but, if I found a white one that would be cool as well.
Yes I have seen the 80's Kelvinator washer video cfz2882...AWESOME!!! LOVE IT!!! As you can see even with the over-stuffed load the low vanes of the 10-Vane was still pulling the clothes down into the tub... with the indexing turn. So imagine the turnover with a stationary tub. I think I may have a pic of your '89 agitator cfz2882.
The Wards agitator was appealing, I'm not sure if the wash action was effective because the agitator wings took up a lot of upper tub space.
The late 60's to early 70's 10 Vane agitator turnover was pretty weak because the agitator base and the lower vanes were way too small!!!
A few manufactures did bradfordwhite

Like this one?

 

[scrubflex]

Exactly! This one is 21 !/2" tall

 

[scrubflex]

Well the search is over. I needed confirmed whether the Kelvinator angel wing agitator would be able to fit properly into the washtub I was going to use for my dream machine redesign...and not be too tall...with overwhelming great sadness,
I learned from a compatible substitute, it's 3 1/2" too tall for the tub...so I can't use it...

 

[bradfordwhite]

I was fearing this agitator ideal had taken flight and was too heavenly an idea for a mortal to pursue. But the harps of washer heaven are anxiously plucking away until the day your perfect agitator descends on you.

Wish I could just waive a magic wand to make it happen.

 

[scrubflex]

Lghhh!!! Aww!!! Thanks

I narrowed it down to the Ten Vane angel wing and or the Westinghouse Spiral Ramp agitator.
