Great that you got the accessories (tongs, spin-mat, and fill hose) with it as well! Yes, those are wonderful little machines! I have two of them - one branded as "Simplicity" in avocado (courtesy of Eddy!) and the other is a "Speed Queen" in harvest gold. I, too, got the harvest gold one on Craigslist for $50.00, although I gave him $60.00 because it came with the bonus of a hard counter-top cover.
The Speed Queen is a single speed, whereas the Simplicity is 2-speed, like yours. Unfortunately, recently the Speed Queen has developed a leak from the spin basket - I suspicion that is is the rubber boot that must have a crack or tear. Since I'm finished working on my wringer washers, it's the next in line for a restoration. These machines were extemely well built and with proper care, lasted for decades (as ours attest!) Getting parts now, however, presents a huge challenge. Have fun with yours! |

unclejohn!!!
that is so cool that you got a simplicity supertwin twintub washer!!! i remember when you had a chance to buy on before but i think the seller sold it to someone else (too bad). but now you finally got one, WOOOO HOOOO!!!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bet you're going to have all kinds of fun with that simplicity. if i were to ever go the "twin tub" route, it would have to be one of these twin tub washers with the agitating washer action. no more impellers/pulsators washing action for me!!! aw man, congratulations again unclejohn!!! wish i was closer to you, so i could come over and wash a couple loads to play with the simplicity too!!! LUCKY, LUCKY YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o) |
