Upholstered Queen. Patrick has this machine in Portland. If I remember correctly it came from Eddy in Canada. What were the designers at Speed Queen thinking and what target market were they trying to reach? | ||

WOW! That sure has lasted a long time. Maybe it was made to evoke luxury like executive suites with padded leather walls. Or, maybe they got their idea from the padded vinyl toilet seats of the time. | ||

It is my washer!
Yes, this is the washer I acquired fron Eddy.
I can assure you that this machine is right here in Portland, Oregon. It's possible the seller was too lazy to take their own pics and found one like it on the web to use. Who knows for sure but as always, BUYER BEWARE. This is a stainless steel solid tub machine with the reversing motor (no solenoids). If the machine the seller has is identical then it's a great machine but you'll have to see it in person to find out I guess. Can't wait to hear who contacts the seller and what they find out.

in a non-solenoid machine...it used a reversing motor to control wash and spin....the motor did not run while filling, instead of solenoids to engage, they used a helix unit on the agitation pulley to engage the agitator, when reversed the linkage released the agitator, and then spin began, still a fluid drive, but remained neutral during washing direction, when the motor reversed, this caused the fluid drive to engage, and ramp up to full speed.....the only drawback is it had to pause between reversing, where the solenoids shifted into gears from one to the next without stopping.......
and odd enough, it pumped out water during wash and spin, no matter what direction the motor was going... | ||

Patrick or Eddy I see from the line-up and the switch setting that you're not using the suds-return, but would you be so kind as to tell how Speed Queen does it with a solid tub? Does the water enter the outer tub first, or is it channeled right up from the pump to a spigot over the inner tub? Thank you.
That is one Beautiful Washing Machine, with a nice leather head rest as you curl up for a nice washer nap. | ||

Questions
Tom,
Martin gives an accurate description of how it works. When you turn it on you get a quiet aerated timed fill. The motor comes on when the timer advances into wash with no loud bang. There is a brief overflow at the end of the wash cycle, then the timer pauses the machine before it goes into spin. The rinse cycle uses the overflow feature but only in the last portion (like 1 or 2 minutes) before it pauses to final spin. I prefer the Frigidaire solid tubs overflow rinses as they overflow through the entire rinse cycle and seem to remove all suds more effectively. Mike, You know the suds return hose is not hooked up to the machine so I can't tell you exactly how it flows back into the tub. Just assuming from the positions of the switch that when you push the switch to save, it pumps the water out of the long necked suds return hose into the special laundry tub for saving and then when you push it to return, it sucks it back through and pumps it back into the tub. The dispose setting for the switch pumps all water out through the shorter neck hose into the open drain side of the laundry sink. This is my theory but I will have to find a return hose with the long neck to test it out. I know the suds pump runs when you activate it by switch. Patrick | ||

I love how SQ changed a few words around.....
PermPress was known as Durable Press for some models, Normal wash action was called "BRISK" most time fill models had an EXFill on the Normal cycle, but not on the other cycles..... and have only seen one with 3 cycles, Normal, Durable Press, and Soak(not part of the Normal cycle, but its own section)..... Thanks for the close up..... | ||
