I have a Murray Corporation of America (Easy Laundry Div) washer Model SDK, SN85533, that is in very good shape. It was in a property I bought in 1987 and has been stored in the garage since that time. I can provide a picture if necessary. My question is does this have any value?

One of us is looking for one. I just forget who. He mentioned it only the other day. Perhaps he lives near Wisconsin.

Beautiful machine

of a 57 vintage or so. I may have a spare--uncracked--timer dial somewhere. Let me try to find it.

It may have been me

I did a sob story not too long ago about missing a local purchase on an EASY spinner.
I could make a trek to Wisconsin if the unit is up for grabs... Does depend on where though...

I believe I may have the missing knob. I know I have seen it but didn't realize what it was from. The unit is located in NE Wisconsin in Townsend (about 85 miles NW of Green Bay.

Although it is very nice

I really cannot make the trek up to that part of Wisconsin anytime soon.
Hope it finds a good home - or you rehab it. Great unit.

Easy Spin Twin tub

I've seen these in pictures, unfortunately never close up. What are those 4 gray plastic levers surrounding the center dial?

Easy Spin-driers . . .

. . . are really fun to use. I have one just like the one pictured.

The 4 gray plastic levers surrounding the center dial are what make the machine operate. The motor runs continuously, turned on by pressing one of the 2 buttons above the center dial.

The center dial which is missing on the machine pictured is simply a timer that can be set for a particular number of minutes to time the wash or spin/rinse. When the timer returns to zero, a bell rings to let the operator know the time is up.

The lever to the upper left engages the agitator.

The lever to the lower left opens a valve inside the pump to drain the water from the wash tub.

The lever to the upper right engages the spinner.

The lever to the lower right opens a valve inside the pump to drain the water from the spinner side. You can close off this valve if you want to do a deep rinse in the spinner, and then open the valve to drain off the water. It remains open when the spinner is engaged.

This spinner has a cone shaped device with many small holes in it from the bottom to the top of the spinner basket. The smaller faucet on the top of the machine is moved over to allow the water to flow through this cone shaped device, thus giving a thorough rinse as the clothes spin.

The larger faucet on the top of the machine is the drain. When initially spinning the load from the wash tub, this larger faucet is moved over the wash tub so that the water spun out initially is returned to the wash tub for the next load. Afterward, this larger faucet is moved over the sink or laundry tub to drain away the rinse water and/or drain the wash tub when the laundry is finished.

Like I say, these machines are fun to use.

I'd love to have this unit but live in Hawaii. No clue on how much the shipping here would be.
