This little gem popped up 3 or 4 weeks ago on Craigslist and my wonderful boyfriend decided to buy it for me for Christmas!!!
It was bought and used in a summer vacation home along with a 60s (?) gas Speed Queen dryer. The house was sold about 2 years ago after the couple who owned it past away. They were used for 2 summers before the new owners decided to renovate as the laundry room could only be accessed from outside. The dryer was sold and gone before I got there but the washer was sitting there manuals and all! I'm with my boyfriend visiting his parents for a little Christmas get together this weekend so I haven't had a chance to play with it or even take pictures of my own aside from the manual but it looks to be in very good shape, just needs a little scrubbing and TLC. As soon as I get the chance I'll post more! P.S. It is a DD machine though it came with a BD manual... Interesting huh?

Well, it's here!!!
And I've got it hooked up to run a little test cycle! The only issue is a weird noise the motor/transmission is making during agitate and drain/spin. Any ideas? There is a little grease on the bottom so I suspect the transmission but I'm unsure how to proceed... Here are 2 vids, one of it agitating and one of it draining:
You can hear the sound best when I stop the machine in this video: You can hear the sound best when I first start the machine in this video: The sound is always there and it makes the machine but louder than it should be!!! | ||

Ho Ho Ho December was the worst month for my appliance business. One December the only sale I made was on Christmas eve. A young man bought an electric dryer for his girlfriend as a Christmas present. Who says romance is dead? | ||

Try disengaging the pump from the motor and set in spin to see if it makes the same sound. It does sound like a whiney pump. | ||
