The agitator actually does rapidly oscillate at about 575 RPM, according to my 1966 brochure. I never saw one of these in operation in person. I did get to witness a 1957 Bendix Powersurge, though!
@lexmarks567 MY mistake, I found-out the agitator does in fact oscillate! It is basically the same mechanism as the older 1956/7 Power Surge washer. I sure do miss these wonderful top-loaders and phosphate detergents. I'll say it again: GO AWAY ECO-POLICE!!!
@JSneaker ... seriously? I know, sudsy detergents are wonderful, but I think you should go back and see what phosphates being flushed from the sewer into the river systems were doing to the environment. It was insane. I love my old machines very much, but as a naturalist and horticulturalist I think that mindset's completely irresponsible.
Would love to see a longer video of this totally cool machine someday. Especially want to see the outer cabinet and controls. Amazing!

Well on earlier models the agitator rattled. it seems to do the same on this model just not as rapidly.

i think it rattles at a ultra sonic speed there for hard to see without a high speed camera

A former Youtube member posted videos of this washer a couple years back, glad to see it in action again.
