. . . of Speed Queen ever having a combination washer/dryer. Fascinating POD. Since it spins at 575 rpm, I'm wondering if Bendix had something to do with the manufacture. Any information on it? Jerry Gay |

The hinge on the front allows the entire front panel to flip up for service. |

This looks like a re-branded Easy Combomatic. |

WOW, I did not know SQ ever made such a nice combo. I reread the literature is this a porcelain drum, or LIFETIME stainless steel? It really is nice. alr2903 |

SQ was the last US company too start building combos the design came from the first HP combos which came out about 1957 and were only around a couple of years then disappeared. SQ redesigned the machine somewhat it was made smaller for one thing and made with the front hinge like the SQ washers of the time. I now have one thats in much better shape curtsey of Jon Charles than the one DADoES kindly pictured from the convention we held in 2002. Its a very interesting machine a don't know how long they were made. Also i must thank Laundromat in Hawaii as he found the one pictured sitting outside an old house right here in Takoma Park Maryland.

I was on my way to John's one day way back i n the early 80's and,on Blair Rd (not to be mistaken for BelAir Rd.)there sat this front loading washer. I asked my friend to stop so I could go see it and found out that it was indeed a washer dryer combo. I called John to give him the info and he went and got it.I had seen one before that one of my neighbors got but,they moved a few months later and I never got to see it work.The one feature I,myself liked was it's width was amung the narrowest I'd ever seen.Being the same company,I don't know why they don't attempt to remarket them.
