I believe I will try to stick with analog controls as long as possible with the exception of the Mieles where there was no choice. I think the analog stuff will be working long after the "digital" electronic controls have shorted out, fried, taken a dump and died. I think of the beautiful GE ovens we would see behind the appliance stores that HAD to be replaced when the boards went because there were no replacement boards available. Oven thermostats and stove clocks were two of the most dependable SEPARATE parts of a range then they put them together in an electronic component and if you get a blip in the current or, heaven forbid, a bad storm and you are looking at not being able to use the oven because some electronic piece of crap no longer does what it needs to.

I wonder how long SQ will stock parts for those controls. When we found the 68 GE TOL dryer I have, the board was bad, but you could still use the time dry cycle because of the mechanical timer. I bought Larry's last board so that the dryness sensor works, but I'll tell you something. I wash the same loads each week. I know how long they take to dry so I set the timer and let 'er rip and the results are just great. I would imagine that many people know how long their usual loads take to dry and don't need all of that electronic tomfoolery. It's just that you could not get features like drum lights, fluorescent control panel lights and foot pedals without getting a fairly high end model.

I had the washer, which I gave to Pete(rollermatic). The relays on the electronic board were flaky. The last straw was when the trans seal went bad-> ruining my white dress shirts. To this day ANY SQ TL machines (regardless of condition) that find their way to me immediately get scraped! Regarding the boards: you can still find them, not every part warehouse stocks them, and they are costly. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!

The dryer looks like a Montgomery Ward Signature made by White Westinghouse.

That Speed Queen dryer was a 91-93 model, from when Raytheon owned the company.
