These look to be late 50s or early 60s, and very TOL. Liam CLICK HERE TO GO TO liamwa's LINK | ||

thank you everyone!
I appreciate all your comments, this set is one of the nicest I've come across. I'll try to answer some questions... First, I think these are 1959 as that's what on the parts manual for this washer (A28) although could be 1960. This is the first Speed Queen washer I've seen that has a PUSH to start timer knob, every other model used a PULL to start timer. The conditioning center is basically 2 plastic containers each with perforated lids (will take more pics later of this). At the appropriate time there is a dispenser solenoid which pushes these over and "dumps" if you will the bleach and softener at the right time. The knobs are there to reset these to the upright position after the cycle. Of course there is water flowing during this increment to flush these into the tub. Very cool feature. The machines both seem to be in good mechanical condition, I just tried the washer and it agitates and spins just fine. Ironically, Greg N (gansky1) had sent me the parts and repair manual for this very model 8 years ago! Thank you again for that, who knew I would ever end up with them. | ||

See everyone
You should always buy the manuals even if you don't own the machines. The washer gods will smile down on you and deliver once you have the manuals! "build it and they will come" "Field of Dreams" 1986 OR: Once the manuals exist in your collection the Quantum Mechanical state of ownership has been defined thereby setting discovery of the machines to be the favored outcome from all possible outcomes. | ||

"Once the manuals exist in your collection the Quantum Mechanical state of ownership has been defined thereby setting discovery of the machines to be the favored outcome from all possible outcomes." Is that true for men as well? Cuz if so, I'm going to build an altar... (yes, I took Anderson's altar apart - that was a crisis-driven infatuation and didn't last!) Eddy, that machine looks like NEW -- look at the shine on that panel!! | ||

those knobs
are for resetting the dispensers to the upright position after the washload. They are connected to the dispenser cups by a rod on the bottom. The dispensing solenoid tips the cup over and spills the contents at the right time. They stay tipped over until the user turns them back upright with the front knobs. I haven't actually set these machines up yet, I'm waiting to move them into our new home at the end of the month. E. | ||
