The owner of this machine ran across my washer videos on You Tube and contacted me there. He said this machine is in very good original working condition. It is not beat up, or rusted. It is the Harvest Gold colour, so I would date the machine to be from the 1970's. It does have the stainless steel solid tub and the overflow wash/rinse. The guys name is Tim, and seems like a nice dude. He does not want anything for the machine. He just thought it was too cool to throw away. At any rate, the machine is in Indianapolis, on the West Side. So if anyone wants this machine for free, please email Tim, at rorymont@yahoo.com

old,old wascomats there don't remember what the dryers were,but the laudromat with the speed queens also had a couple 1950s looking wascomat front loads-got a peek behind one and noticed the big black cast iron "elmo"motor-also the wiring in the machine was cloth insulated so these wascomats were plenty old.. | ||

thanks rickr!
saw this post day before thanksgiving, called the gentleman
and told him i would buy it from him. didn't feel right taking it for free, not a solid tub! picked it up today and boy is it a beauty, at least to me! won't have it in the house till tomorrow, it's shrink wrapped in the back of my jeep for now, gonna put it in carport for the nite. never thought i'd have a solid tub speed queen! it was only 2 hours away so i went for it! from the 70's, harvest gold, stainless steel solid tub, white agitator. and a great looking control panel. and the gentleman told me it worked fine last time he used it! hope to have it inside and cleaned up this weekend and will do a thread on it when i do! thanks again!

it's a mother alright!
had it inside for about a week now, picked it up on black friday. worked in appliances that day at home depot to help out even though i am not a sales associate and had never worked in appliances before. that was an eye opener!
left work early at noon, drove to indy and was back in my driveway by 7p.m. and that includes a stop at krogers! will post the pics this weekend even though i am not ready to run it yet. have to order a new pump gasket which i found on partselect.com did some rust proofing of top of outer tub and cleaned it up. hopefully will have it running by next weekend, then another batch of pics! thanks for the enthusiasm! | ||
