"vintage" laundromats it's cool when laundromat operators keep classic machines running for decades -in'89 i was at a laundromat that was still running turquoise mid-'60s era speed queens-that was a real delight! | ||

What Was The First Laundromat You Remember? We lived about 3 blocks from a Poly-Clean center. It opened in 1962. It had Whirlpool top-loaders, front-loaders and dry cleaning machines. | ||

That is VERY very cool. Thanks for sharing the pictures, I enjoyed looking at the vintage machines. Looks like there is 18 GE washers and 7 dryers?
Its interesting that some of the washers have bleach dispensers and some don't. Also it looks like one of them is out of service, as it's cord is wrapped around the coin box. Fascinating, thanks again! Gordon | ||

We had one too! In Lenoir NC, long gone now, but the old laundry in town still has several Norge front loaders, as well as some ANCIENT Cissell dryers, | ||

Correction - the machine I remember was actually a Philco-Bendix "Double Load", pictured in the video in the link below.

Commerial FF The old laundry down the road from where I work here has those same (color and all) Filter-Flo's. I grew up around these things. Nothing like the sound of 6 machines clack-clacking to a stop all at once. They still have a majority of the machines, they're standard capacity believe it or not and all are ramped Activator models.
Correction: These are a little newer, or maybe just lower end machines. I checked and the ones there are 2-speed and some have the bleach dispenser and some don't and have the filter flume at 7 o'clock. Weird.
