Close-up. Notice the machine does not inform of the wash-rinse-spin sequences. Looks like there is a tap-cold and thermostatically controlled cold as well.

Where in Bklyn were you? I have never seen front loading machines secured in such a way that no one would steal them. What kind of neighborhood were you in. I lived in NYC and don't ever recall anything like that. | ||

No more SQ here. Speed Queen departed from Canada in the 80's, but we have commercial machines identical to those in the pics, under the Huebsch name. | ||

Toggles, I think I remember to have read on a Henkel website that fabricsofteners generally can not be removed from laundry by rinsing but they can easily be washed out with detergent. So I wonder if you might do more harm than good when you tell about your habit of putting watery FS in a frontloader`s bleach dispenser. I wonder if you might just "lock in" more detergent residue into the fabric by doing so, because the softener can not be removed by the following rinses. It`s just a theory of myself and I could also be completely wrong on this one. After all some modern toploaders without a sprayrinse after the wash do the very same thing without causing any problems. | ||

Maybe you are correct. I always thought my cheap watery softener has no wax but serves to chemically suppress suds. | ||

Local Laundromat Has Same Neptune Stacked Dryers
And am here to tell you my vintage Whirlpool compact dryer is streets ahead, IMHO. Those Maytag dryers are very poorly built, with very filmsy doors. Lint filter system is right from domestic dryers, which is fine and well one supposes, except it requires users to empty the thing after each load, which of course rarely happens, so next user usually must, if it is done at all. Heating wise, again my Whirlpool dryer will still finish a load spun at 1100 in the Miele or even the Hoover TT faster than these things. Capacity is rather small for a "commercial" dryer, so if one washes anything >12lb washer, then the load really should be spilt into two dryers for faster and more even dryers. Laundromat at one time did have normal dryers, but they were taken away and replaced with the god awlful Maytag things. Methinks this was done to fit more dryers in a small space, versus the larger Dexter, Speed Queen or Wascomat offerings. L. | ||
