Yes, because the top was hinged to tilt forward for service. |

That rainbow in the SS dryer drum might be heat-tint from overheating, LOL, no actually those older SQ dryers were not very likley to scorch clothing. The heating element and heater box were far enough from the clothing that these dryers were as unlikely as a WP dryer to cause clothing damage.
These old SQ dryers were built like tanks but were not real fast or great performers however, they tended to put in a lot of hours drying the poorly spun out loads from the typical American automatic washers of their time. |

covering on the kick plate of the dryer and washer, I haven't looked close enough to see if this was bling or a protective covering that was never removed.
The agitate shaft is frozen in the spin tube. So its in I go! She's in the Lab now.

That special fabrics is a strange cycle - it really starts at the Rinse cycle so how do the clothes get rinsed ?! |

I think that first fill line is "fill the tub"as in 13 gallons, just like my 1957, which goes 13-9-6. Yes Paul -the brisk setting is for use of Arctic Power in temps below 50 degrees ONLY !!
This model is A28A which puts it around 1959-1960. Eddy what is your model number??
Got the agitate shaft working today, ran the entire cycle dry. Its quiet, good bearings so far.
All the key nuts are loose so its all ready for a Jetcone© certified rebuild. Agitate shaft cleaning and lubing. Boot checks. Oil change for the tranny. General clean up under the skirt. Adjust the agitator set height. Fresh lube for the pump.

Jon, does the machine have multiple rinses? If so, the special fabrics may have just a short wash followed by a rinse. Just thinking of how the GE Combo's 'delicates' cycle starts at the second of five rinses...
Congrats on getting the agitate shaft freed up! Come visit the 60 GE in Ogden when you are done here... LOL |

what a beautiful set of speed queens!! i can't believe how vibrant the gold & red colors on the control panel are. they definitely look like a royal pair of queens that'll wash, fluff but not sure if either will fold. hm hm hm..... the stainless steel drum in the dryer looks like it would give your clothes a nice ironing treatment during the tumbling. they are beautiful!! once again CONGRATULATIONS!!! ;o) |

SS washer under the drive block - The outer boot is shot - so I'm gonna go all the way Down to the spin bearings now. |

I'll check my timer today and see if there is a date! Wouldn't it be wild if they were made the same day?? That would make Luigi -Super Timeless ! Rich, Yes I love the high vane agitator! Nothing escapes the power of Speed Queens exclusive bowl washing magic! But its real splashy, on my '57 1/4 of the wash water is out over the tub before the cycle is done. When I put in the low plastic agitator that doesn't happen.
When I first noticed this I thought that the sediment tube hole was leaking there was so much missing water.
And now foolishly I have left all my spare parts down at the Cape since I was working on the Easy there several years ago !! Oh well off I go...

The Dayton item number listed is an oldie. If someone is order these from Grainger, here's the breakdown:
(2) belts needed : SQ # 20185 >> Industry # AX26 >> Grainger # 6A115 (28" by 1/2" by 5/16" width)
(1) belt needed : SQ #20186 >> Industry # AX34 >> Grainger # 6L234 (36" by 1/2" by 5/16" width)
Note that AX indicates a cogged belt. The 4L280 is the solid version of the cogged 6A115 |
