That recirculating waterfall lint filter is a gem.

That lighted timeline control panel is absolutely stunning! The germicidal lamp is a nice touch too.

The cap of that agitator kills me. I can't believe the details they had in these vintage machines. They were just fabulous.

I'm beyond impressed. Absolutely beautiful. Great job Tyler.

That chrome cap and chrome in general alone is enough to make this washing machine a Palace machine. But that's what 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, and to some extent 1980's American washing machines are. Washing machines made for Palaces, and I am desperate, SERIOUSLY desperate, to own the finest American washing machines. And oh golly that lit control panel in the dark, and the light in the drum?! It all makes it look like it is a VE day party accessory or something like that. It belongs in a night-club of that time, as do all the decades of American washing machines in which I described. They were made with architecture and beauty in mind.

This is a beautiful machine! 🤩 It's a shame they don't make them like this anymore. 😒

Yes finally been waiting for so long , I like old whirlpool surgilators and DD

A recirculating lint filter for me is always an appreciated feature on a washing machine.

That, sir, is a mighty elegant and well-designed 20th-century craft. I usually overlook vintage Whirlpool, but this one deserves more attention 🙂.

Legendary belt drive, they made their reputation on this one

I love the way control panel looks.

Oh my !!!!! Tyler, it was worth the wait !!!

Tyler this is a work of art. I knew people that had almost the same washer except it had the black adj cap. I forgot it used to buzz at the end of cycle. Thanks for posting Best of Luck Peter

It's So Quiet, Love It

Oh, wow, Absolutely great, !!!!!!!

What a beautiful machine! That chrome agitator cap sets it off. I knew they had the uv light in those models, but i didn't know they had a tub light as well. What a nice addition to your collection.

I miss using these old school machines. Our apt has wifi connected ones. When wifi goes down once every 3 weeks every other machine is unusable until tech arrives next day😞

@@Gsohoover That's modernity. Make everything simple complicated, make everything cheaply, and take everything else nice away. Old machines had architectural style and spectacular material construction choices, modern ones normally don't remotely have a single of what I mentioned. It's like that with nearly everything modern to be completely honest.

These Whirlpool washers were built like Sherman Tanks back then, My Mother had hers for 20 years and the only thing that ever had to be replaced on it was the pump!!! Too bad that Whirlpool took such a nose dive with their washers today, They are absolutely the pits!!!

As a reference of comparison, our 1962 Whirlpool had many repairs in 15 years of use. Pump. Wigwag. Belt. The mounting bracket for the mercury capsule lid switch rusted off the lid hinge, fell down and bumped against the tub when it oscillated during spin, causing the wigwag to rapidly shift in/out of spin mode. The centerpost bearings and basket drive were replaced, aka an "overhaul" job (then needed to be done again at which point the machine was replaced). The chrome agitator cap was replaced by a pyramid stack of washers and a bolt for some reason I didn't understand. I recall the service guy said that only way to fix that would require pulling and opening the transmission to replace the agitator drive shaft. The black bakelite Surgilator later cracked and had to be replaced. The centrifugal start switch in the motor went to sticking and sometimes wouldn't release for a couple/few minutes to re-engage the start winding after the motor stopped from low speed, so the motor sometimes didn't immediately start for rinse agitation in the Gentle cycle.

Excellent machine! Thanks for sharing this!

It's not supposed to make that grinding sound when it is spinning. I would check the tub break, belt, or clutch. It looks like its spinning a little slow.

Based on the rhythm of it, and that it’s only during spin,I would say the spin solenoid and plunger slide on the wig wag just needs greased.

@@DrummerboysWashersAndMoremine makes the same sound when it’s spinning, just how these older Whirlpools are. They changed the design around 1964/1965 to quiet them down significantly, though the later control magnet assemblies had a tendency of burning out and failing compared to the 1947 to 1964 control magnet assemblies aka wig wags.

Hello, yes it is. They are on ebay.

That's the one thing I've never liked about Whirlpool washers, my mother had them when I was a kid, they have the slowest spin speed, I think of all washers!! I think the speed is only 300 rpms. Which makes them boring to me. Nice video though.
