Thanks guys! I was pretty thrilled to get it. It does indeed have that new washer smell... The box, unfortunately, was really water stained and brittle (the pics are of the good sides!), so it wasn't worth salvaging. I'm going to use it. I have plugged it in and it runs. Fred and Robert - we need to get something on the calendar!

Speed Queen Simplicity Servis
Jeepers a NIB twinny and Coppertone, lovely machine Ted you will have hours of fun testing it out, its based on the MK70 Servis Supertwin from the UK, Speed Queen had an alliance to build the model you have from parts sent from Servis Factory in the UK. Is this the Two Speed model?
Heres our Mk70 from 1970. | ||

Thanks Martin, Mike and Lisa. It's a single speed model. I sent pics to Speed Queen and the woman there said that based upon the serial number, it was made in September 1980. I would think it would be older than that... You have a nice machine there yourself, Mike. You can really see that the Speed Queen was modeled after the Servis!

Thanks, Laundress. Yes...I had the same thought as you on the asking price. I emailed him upon the auction's completion, we had some back and forth and agreed upon a price. Guess he'd put it back up again in the meantime and then ended it.

Speed Queen used to market it as " A portable with real agitator action". It certainly is. Congratulations. | ||

If one didn't already have the Hoover TT along with a stash of parts would have made the move. But alas one does and has so that was that. Really have no room to store *two* twin tubs and considering the Hoover is rarely used would have my head handed to one on a plate if another twin-tub showed up, NIB not withstanding! *LOL*

One last pic
Thought people would enjoy seeing the paper that came along with the machine.

1980? Looks older... (?) Great find! Perhaps the literature that came with the machine or even the box of Tide will have a date that will give a better idea of when it was made. I may be wrong, but that machine looks to be older than 1980. The motor or one of the other parts might have a date of manufacture as well. Andrew S. | ||

Hi Ted, The agitator looks like a miniature of my NIB SQ Wringer. So happy for you that you went for this. Another beauty to add to your growing collection my friend !! Jim | ||

New SQ Twin Tub Washer
Wow what a great find Ted, we have the exact machine but in a much more used version.
I also tend to think that it is older than 1980, mainly because shaded colors disappeared among American appliances manufactures by 1977. On ours I found date stamps on the timer and main wash motors, ours is from 1974. | ||

Pardon my ignorance... I love your new washer and CONGRATS on your vintage find..... Can you explain how this washer works? Wash and Rinse on the left then spin on the right? Thanks Mike | ||

Congratulations!
I have the earlier model of the Series ( Wilkins Servis, Simplicity,Speed Queen etc). This model wasn't sold in the US, but it's the "uncle" of them... Twin tubs are fun to use...I enjoy using mine. These are great machines..
