making a video that is!

And here ya go Boys-just for you!!!
I taped an entire intro and complete wash & rinse in my 'new' Simplicity Twin tub washer.
I'm not sure how to give you the links since I'm also new at using YouTube, but you can type in TwinTubber in the search and it will bring up the videos.
Thanks for your inspiration to make this-ALL OF YOU!
Hope you all enjoy!!!!!

Simplicity/Speed Queen/Servis

Congratulations on getting a superb machine, its in great condition for its age, the Simplicity / Speed Queen twintubs where made under license from Servis UK who produced their first twinnies in 1959.

I like the fact you have a direct drive spinner which the ones here never had and the two speed agitation, I take it the twinny has one electric pump with a diverter valve from the washtub...

If you are using this as a daily driver one tip would be to use the electric pump to empty the spinner full of rinse water, then when the outer can is empty switch on the spinner, the strain the direct drive operates under when both tubs are of full of water will be immense and will wear it out quicker than you require.

Happy washing, Mike

Thanks barcoboy! Glad you enjoyed the vids.
And yeah, I'm truly impressed with the spinners' quietness.

chestermikeuk: thanks for the nice comments. She's really a beaut!!!
Yes it has an electric pump with a diverter valve. I believe I showed that in operation in the first video.
And THANK YOU for the tip-I was wondering about the possible strain on the motor. I "assumed" it was built to handle it as the machine seems to have been designed to do an actual spin spray-rinse. But I would rather take care of it than abuse it anyday that's for sure.

And if anybody has a copy of the instruction manual for this OR even the Speed Queen version, I'd be happy to obtain a copy from them.
Thanks again for the comments and hope you were able to see all of the vids as some didn't seem to have loaded correctly last night, but are appearing there now.
Have a great day everyone!!!
