Do not apologize for your machine preferences, just enjoy them. We all have our favorites. | ||

 The A-78 is also a favorite of mine. I hope to find one someday. I got the matching dryer just in case I'd find the washer alone!
They're from the mid-late 1960s (they were introduced in 1966)

Those classic Speed Queens featured the famous Arc-Cuate 210 transmission, proven in millions of installations. I believe Jetcone has youtube vids of it being cleaned and serviced. | ||

The A-78 
Thanks Dewey for the nice comments about this washer! It's one of my favorites too. Here is a picture of where it sits today in the line-up. I've now put a retro aluminum agitator in. I think this would have been made around 1969 or 70.

GE and Speed Queen. I would use the GE for darks and the blue pile and the speed queen for lights or whites and vice versa. But then again, I have used both before. | ||

210 agitation arc. I believe Speed Queen still uses the 210 agitation arc today. | ||
