Nice find...you definitely can't beat free, even if it's just good for parts!!
I like the control panel...a blend of old and new (50's panel with 60's-style knobs). What kind of Surgilator does this have?

This is a great machine!
yes please post more pics - i too would love to see the agitator and if there is a lint filter.
I also agree with austin - very cool control panel!

Wonderful Find Chris! Looks like a 1959 model.
Hi Chris, You sure do find the neatest things!! I am also going to say mid to late 50's. Looks like a deluxe machine with a lighted console, at least I am hoping it has that. Have fun and continue to share those pictures with us as you work on her. Terry
beautiful!!!

wow, what a find!
Congrats Chris. Haven't ever seen one like this before.
What a beauty. That rust is nothing and I'm sure you'll
have her looking like new in no time. 1959 was a great year!

Family friends had a machine very similar to this, if not exactly it. I recall the five-temp selector with cut-out for rinse and variable water level. And a fluorescent light that had a bad starter or ballast or something, flickered/glowed on just one end.
