there could not be a POD of Speed Queen go by with out me commenting on it.....LOL....
one is the beautiful colors........suprised they don't re-introduce these again.....that AppleGreen and SundownOrange are killer....what great colors for a laundry or kitchen...... two...the tranny....I know there question about the 210 degree stroke.....but mainly is the design.....simple yet, the Arc-Cuate is what puts this powerful stroke into action, and the blade design of the agitator is almost like a whale tail........the newer SQ still have the long stroke, but not the "power swing", it just has the same speed swing back and forth...... were these trannies truely undestructable.....of all the failures I have seen in these machines, belts, pumps, bearings....I never seen a tranny fail... | ||

Pic of the Day
These are the exact machines in the laundromat that I used before buying my home in 1994. The top loads, front loads, and dryers, all in Harvest Gold. That ad has to be from the 70s so when I used them in the early 90s, they were already pretty old but they worked!
Curious about the tub. Under the agitator, does the tub come up like ring cake pan? Without holes in the tub it would have been a tad more efficient with water, and there would be advantages to not having the tub-seal submerged. | ||

The last time I had to use a laundromat was around 1995....it still had the solid tubs in use, but definately on their last legs, the solenoid was trying to kick in for agitation, and you heard this loud clunking, but not enough power to shift into gear on its own, I assisted the agitator with a stroke, and then it locked down and took off from there....it just brought back memories of a once great place to do laundry....and yet runned down at this point......
what I found funny, was not only were these machines colorful, but they also each had "names" in script diagonal below the "Q".......the washers were females, and the dryers were males..... also....how many of the machines lid switch never worked, it would spin with the lids open.....and yet no one was stupid enough to put their hand in there....or no children got hurt in those times.............. even the front loaders doors did not lock, just a lever that swung over and stayed in place during use......although I often wondered what would happen if the door was opened while full of water?.... | ||
