Other items of interest include Frigidaire single door fridge, Speed Queen ironer and cool midcentury ceiling lamp fixtures.
Actually is that an ironer? Cant figure what else it might be but I see only one roller. | ||

Speed Queen Ironer
Is a portable that could be used on stand (as shown) or set up on a table or other stable surface. Yes, these sort of ironers where supposed to be the answer for space challenged housewives (or anyone else) that wanted one of the things.
Interesting thing is by then Speed Queen ironers were put out by American Ironing Machine company who also owned/made Simplex ironers. If you look at Simplex and Speed Queen ironers for home use they are usually the same styles with perhaps minor changes. Back to this sale; one could do a lot of damage (spy an ironing board among other things), but am not flying or driving out to Chi-Town area this week. | ||

L-1000 Thank You, Chad for posting this! What a beautiful and rare machine, they are growing on me. I know Will has wanted one of these for awhile and I made sure to let him know ASAP about it. Can't wait to see it in person and hopefully use it! I'll gladly help with the restoration, Will. All the best, -Tyler | ||

Will, Glad you were able to get it. The way members help one another here is one of the things that make this site so great.
On a different note: How did an ironer with only one roller do an adequate job of pressing items? Would think you need two rollers to press the items between to remove wrinkles. | ||

The happy ending!!
Am so very happy that I was able to spot it actually... was fast flipping thru pics looking for tell-tale signs of vacuum cleaners. One was actually searching for vintage vacuums in and around Chicago, as do have a few contacts that pick up the vintage ones for me, or they keep them for their collection(s).
Just couldn't believe my eyes when not only did I see a Westinghouse Laundromat, but the very beautiful and rare L-1000. Rubbed my eyes and all, so proceeded to immediately post it up here, knowing that someone would move a mountain, to obtain it. The fact that it is completing a set, just warms my heart. So few of these ahead of their time Laundromats made it to today... As my screen name attests, absolutely adore these 1959 Program Computers. Hopefully it will be made usable again in short order. Ones only thought was, that hopefully all the pieces are still there to reassemble the push-button tilting control panel. Best of luck!! And, another rare beauty saved.

Domestic rotary ironers with only one roll
Having one roller was and still is the main weakness of domestic rotary irons/mangles. If items being sent through are too moist or whatever it can take one or more passes to produce good results.
This is also an big issue with American ironers limited to 120v/15amp service which along with UL safety requirements for all domestic ironing equipment | ||

 Will, I'm thrilled for you beyond ability to express. The washer gods smiled down on you and a matched set emerged. I think Jetcone has also called it washer karma. Get the dryer and the washer will show up. So there's also hope some day a matching turquoise washer will show up for Joe's recently acquired WP dryer. | ||

Thanks everyone! Especially Chad and Tyler!
Yes! It's so exciting. It's one of two I've been looking for a mate for. Who would have thought an L-1000 would show up before a 1962 Kenmore 70 series washer? I hope Joe gets his matching whirlpool too!
I'm running out of dream appliances at this rate! 1) 1962 Kenmore 70 series washer 2) early built in tappan/westy microwave 3) KDS-14 4) Blackstone Ironer 5) Hotpoint "Tenderly" Range (and maybe a matching fridge if I find it) 6) 1957 Lady Kenmore pair... However, my holy grail is now found! Now to get these 1000's working! This post was last edited 04/26/2018 at 21:01 | ||
