This is a really REALLY clean machine you have there Scott. Congratulations on the rare and excellent find! And good job on the restoration.
Just think, this is the one that started it all for the belt drive machines...

Can't wait to see the suds-miser working.
Is this the model where the lid pops and the buzzer sounds when the load is done?
As a kid, the guy across the street used to wash on Thursday nights in this very machine--give or take a year or two. On his, the W in the middle lit up. This is the machine that hooked me forever on suds-returns and spray rinses.
Scott, I couldn't get enough of his Pool, and completely understand how you're smitten with it.

I believe the lid will pop up ...
I know the cylce buzzer sounds ... but I'm not sure if the lid pops open yet. I do have to do some work the timer motor ... it has to be manually advanced at this point. I'll be home on vacation soon, and I hope to hook her up for a full fledged Whirl ... soon.

I can't say Thanks to Jed enough for offering her to me!
Scott, I cant tell you happy I am for you and to see the Whirlpool up on here getting some much needed attention!
Having used this machine as a daily driver for a small period... never once did it cycle buzz or have the lid pop open. Then again I never had the lid closed. The timer motor is easy to access on this machine. If you look in the archives you will find a thread where I go "under the hood". Gl!

Home for the night ...
and went to buy some new hoses ...
Unfortunately, the guy at the part store looked at me like I had 3 eyes and nose warts when I told him I needed a suds ruturn house for a 1950 Whirlpool. He did have mico fische that went back that far ... but no luck on the part I was after .. I guess I have to be creative. =)

Wow - I was re-reading this thread 'cause I have the 'Kenmore cousin' version of this washer now, so I thought I might get some service ideas...
About the hose, you might scare one up at a thrift store like Salvation Army or Goodwill (I have found a number of replacements that way) and you can probably substitute a later version. I don't know a great deal about suds saver machines, but I remember the Inglis (Canadian Whirlpool) washer at a friends house had the suds saver feature and the suds return hose seemed to be a regular drain hose with a rigid section about a foot long with a bias-cut end (it looked like it had been cut to use as a spear!). The long-end hooked over the laundry tub and I guess the cut end allowed it to rest on the tub without blocking the the hose opening.
I am going to need one of these myself, and if I can find anything that might work for you, I'll pick it up!
I think making a substitute one may be the way to go....
Last thought - if you have a used-appliance dealer (or dealers) nearby, check with them. They sometimes keep spare parts that have now gone out of current use..
First one to get their suds-saver hooked up and running wins! LOL

I think I know what it is if I am seeing the hose right
There is a plastic coupler that connects the gooseneck to the straight part of the suds hose
My Maytag suds saver washers have a connector like this in the suds saver hoses
