Thats why I always thought how Speed Queen got its name....because it was so fast, and jumped from one action to the next, non-stop.....and probably a shorter whole cycle time compared to most....
I thought something was odd at watching this video, that my home machine did not run the overflow for a extra minute when it first started washing, and all the way thru the rinse portion.....but I do have only a 1 minute overflo at the end of wash, a 2 minute spin, and then one minute to coast down before the rinse water started, and only a rinse overflo for the first and last minute of rinse before the final spin, there of course was 3 minutes of rinsing in-between without the overflo...my final spin is probably longer as well.... I would check my home machine for the actual wash time, but the coin-op machine is probably shorter....interesting CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK | ||

Martin there was an earlier generation with a white panel and a single yellow "on" light. I remember these as the parents had "spacemates" at the time. Lets just say many opportunities to go to the laundromat. :-) arthur | ||

we had a home washer when I was growing up, no dryer, so during the winter time we headed out to the laundromat to dry them, and of course I had to take at least one load to run thru the washers.....
I remember the first ones I saw had toggleswitches for selections, some had a metal agitator, others were gray plastic......eventually they were changed out for machines with a newer styling and teardrop style selectors and white agitators.......I always liked the lights for wash, rinse, and spin.... it killed me when they changed to perforated tubs.......oh the agony!....I would have killed at the time to have even a coin op machine at home, as a toy to play with.... | ||

The Speed Queens we used to have here at the apartments a few years back had I believe 12 minute wash time on the Normal Cycle. Now of course we have Whirlpool direct drives with 9 minutes. Why couldn't they make it at least an even 10? And some GE Filter Flo's I used a while back were 9 or 10 minutes.
