The lady to the left seems a bit frustrated with something! Perhaps she is not satisfied with the dial of the machine! | ||

What I don't think they are... They're not SQ's because similar coin-ops don't have that lip around the top.
GE's have the lip, but not that sort of opening. Plus this setting is too stylish and new to be using solid-tub GE's, which is what they'd have to be.
Maytag had similar lids, but no lip like that around the top.
Frigidaire did not have a lip like that on their coin-ops either.
My GUESS is Norge. but I'm still not 100%as I have limited exp. with Norge. The transmissions look like BW/Norge though.
The dryer appears to be an old Cissell, we have a bunch of those here in light yellow.

I was going to say Maytag, until the "lip" was mentioned. Now I'm not sure. Guess I failed Washer ID 101, LOL.

Blackstone I look forward to that POD. I've never seen a coin-op Blackstone. The only Blackstone transmission that I've seen was in the 350, and it's nothing like this.
I wonder if this would have been the same transmission the Hoover full size machines used in the early 70's. The were rebadged Blackstones... Hmmmm

When I was in high school we lived in Fort Lauderdale and I used to keep a bag of clothes that I had outgrown for taking around to all the laundromats I could find in the area. One laundromat had Blackstone coin-op washers that I had gone with my "play clothes" to wash many a times. I seem to remember one other time seeing Blackstone coin-ops earlier on in my childhood, but they were a rare bird indeed. | ||

Used a Blackstone commercial washer at a laundromat near the UC Berkeley campus many years ago. That lid on the washer gave it away for me guessing it was a Blackstone. | ||

I wish that I had seen this thread yesterday; I recognized those transmissions right away. Actually, there were not any Blackstone laundromats around here that I can recall. We did, however, order one coin-op machine just to have on display in the store. We sold it to a friend, but had to drill a hole in the top of the coin-op part, and put a longer shaft on the timer, so they could wash clothes in their house, without the use of the quarters. I still have the coin mechanism; as a matter of fact, I was just looking at it in the attic yesterday, deciding whether or not to keep it. Two quarters for a wash.
Other than the arrangement of the timer, the only difference between commercial Blackstones and household ones was an extra ring around the outside of the tub, apparently to lessen the chance of off-balance loads. There might also have been an extra clothes guard around the top of the tub. | ||
