I thought some of you who LOVE wringer washers like I do would like to see these from an old booklet.

Gpevas, Thank You! Very nice photographs in your vintage SQ booklet! Please elaborate on the "acid testing" in the sound proof booth? Operating noise, leaking water or ? |

Air2903 I have no idea on what the testing procedures were back then I guess the sound proof booth was for how much noise it made during use? Anyway I am glad people liked the photos. I am a Speed Queen wringer nut! I use my wringer for all washing except for towels. The green Speed Queen wringer they are talking about is the model from the 1930s I posted a few pictures in another booklet I have. You can't tell it is green because the booklet is black and white. The washer that has the temperature gauge is my dream machine I wish I could get my hands on. I have other booklets of Speed Queen wringers I will post but I need to find them.

I think Speed Queen stuck to there design in agitators for there wringers because it worked and worked well! The Speed Queen wringer bowel shaped tub and there agitator design never looked different until they changed the agatator post design. Then it took on a different look but not by much! Water Witch did you get your name from Sears's wringer washer name?

This was on ebay or Craigslist quite a while ago, but I saved the pics. Would have been a nice machine to restore - in original green, of course!
