Its like a Kelvinator Kaleidoscope with a different picture each cycle! I've not see a Kelvinator Agitator with a cap and finish like yours. That makes it even more interesting. 95% of the fun is watching! You're the cool guy for making it happen.

Nice retrofit Chris!! Definitely worth putting the lid in to catch that Kelvy Magic Minute! Where did you get this machine - it looks beautiful!!

OH Chris your '58 is beautiful! I've never seen a photo of yours. Quite a stunning machine - but now with a window! Nothing beats the washing drama like a Kelvinator. Well, maybe an Apex ;-)
It is funny you post this when you did. Last week I dropped off the 2 speed motor to my '59 at a welder to have him take the clutch off the motor, and to see if he can weld the old one. If he can fix it, great - otherwise I've got the one from you.
Love these AMC's!

Very nice work!
What did you use for the black rubber gasket around the edge? It looks perfect fitted!

well you know me. some 1/4 inch thick plex glass from the depot and the black trim is car wheel lip mold that i get from work. i had to edge the lid to make it look finished. i just tool the lid apart and traced the outline from the inner thing that holds the gasket ( should have taken a pic of that ) the drilled a hole and got the jigsaw into action. i was just happy it worked.
Great Job!
That looks great Chris! Yes having a Kelvy without a window to watch all the fun... just would not be fun at all!

Now, may I request close-up pics of the controls?
