This machine came from Des Moines. The original photo that I saw of the washer made it look: 1. Mint (defined as no rust) 2. Older - maybe 1964 ish? After arriving at the house the owner and his wife mentioned that when they pulled it from the wall they noticed some rust. When I saw the hole my heart sank. I've been searching for a solenoid Speed Queen for a while now and thought that I had locked it in. It will make a great parts machine, and was a stunning machine when new. I couldn't leave it behind. Who knows when a fluid drive clutch will be needed?

Now she's free as a breath of spring...
Love that slogan! What a mess of rust - do you think it was a water-valve or hose dripping for a long, long time? I've seen rusted-through bases before, but usually on the machines with the bleach pump in the front left corner. Oh well, there are a few good organs to harvest on the old, rusty girl. Happy parting! | ||

I would LOVE to select between "Brisk" and "Gentle" agitation. Made me smile a bit! ~Tim | ||

and have Rustoleum sponsor it :-D
I'm sure my contact there would be all over this ;-) Thanks guys - I hope you all enjoyed the SQ. For some strange reason it wouldn't spin. I'm not sure if it is the timer or the spin speed switch. When you put it into spin the motor just stops, but the spin solenoid actives. Not really too concerned at this point - lol. Greg - really, the water valve. And leaking? It has some horrible hoses on it and I wouldn't be surprised if they are the culprit. Bitches! Ben | ||
