Excellent find Greg, cool control panel & shade of avocado. And it definitely looks like a solenoid-style as well, another plus! Congrats! | ||

This is a standard capacity machine - grey agitator, smaller tub. The large capacity machines had white agitators and marginally deeper tubs. Most of the SQ washers had an extra-fill setting on the dial, some were not marked but the book told you to use that for lower water pressure filling to ensure a full tub of water. The large capacity machines didn't come out until later in the 70's - like 75 or 76, CR constantly downgraded them for being capacity challenged a rating they would retain (among others) even after they intro'd "large" capacity models.

Road-Weary Easta Bunny I read the comment about how he likes to drive. Does he hail from Georgia by any chance? ;-) | ||

Too bad they had nothing to help compensate for low pressure fill in the rinse cycle! | ||

I believe that SQ in the later years (80's) had a pressure chamber to compensate the lower water pressure and also levels. They still use the solid SS tub and some were porcelean. I haven't seen many of these models (short lived). Great robust machines..the only common problem was the boot...leaked (splits). Bob | ||

very nice! Love the green, and the panel is cool. At the risk of sounding stupid though, whats with the timed fill? Kinda prehistoric for a machine of its vintage? Or is it because of the solid tub? | ||

Reply I have a avacado Speed Queen with soak timer. I has the hood light over wood grain and gold controls. It was running the last time I plugged it in, I just need a place to hook it up so I can use it. I have some extra stuff if anyone wants it. | ||
