The solid tub Speed Queens just pop up like dandelions around here, I've found five in the last year - two of them solenoid machines. I also know where there is a closed laundromat full of commercial coin-ops and a few other goodies just waiting to be picked up... I love the solid tub SQ's but the perf. basket washers had their strong points as well. There's nothing like doing wash with the heart-attack solenoids calling out the cycle progress! | ||

I used solid tub Speed Queens in my old college dorm back in the early 80's & a friend's apartment complex laundry room also. Always liked the sloshing/gurgling sounds they made. Dramatic, yes! | ||

Abandonded Laundry
Well, I've tried to call the (Kansas City, KS) number listed on the post-it in the window of the building but have not been able to reach anyone. I called the county treasurers office to find out who actually owns the building but wasn't able to get ahold of anyone that way either. They are three, coming up on four years in arrears on the property taxes so if I really wanted to, I could probably buy the whole building and contents for the back taxes. I'll keep trying as time allows, you never know... Just good investigative washer hunting!! | ||

"Well, I've tried to call the (Kansas City, KS) number listed on the post-it in the window of the building but have not been able to reach anyone." Then we'll smash the window in and take everything home! ;-) Just kidding... | ||
