only $0.25 a wash and $0.15 to dry, in what looks like Speed Queen or early 60s Frigidaire washer.

Buzzard's Bay Laundromat 1962-65

All Huebch or Hoyt Dryers (with the "Loadtrol" that were marked#1-5 changed speeds. If you were drying 1 load the drum would turn slow. If it were 5 loads, #5 would spin the drum faster).
Dryers were 10 cents for 10 minutes. Around 1965-66 or 67 the Dryers still were 10 cents but only for 7 minutes.
Speed Queen (Bangin' Solenoid) Top Loaders were 25 cents.

Philco Bendix "Double Loaders" were 35 cents.

The Big Boy in the back (because the needed to be secured to a steel wall) just kidding were 75 cents That was like 4 toploaders full of laundry. What Great Machines, Loud Clanking Solenoids, Noisey Water Flumes, and Shreekning wind ups to Final Spin, and A loud Clack for the door lock Disengaging.

they must have used a real dog because Artey jumped up out of a nap and slammed his nose into my screen!

Why do they have to use a real dog?? I have nose prints on the TV too!


Eddie, we had a similar laundromat in Chatham at the Shop Ahoy, it used My-T-Boys and 18 pound Norge's.

Then a new laundro mat opened that had Cool Speed Queens' that made their own water as they filled!! Solid tub stainless steel. Where are they today??

Shop Ahoy.

Just drove past there last week.

I was also in Hyannis yesterday and on Barnstable Road where the Radio Stations offices are, back in the mid 70's there was a Laundromat in that building that had a few GE Yes, Solid Tub Filter Flos. A few Frigidaires with the Port Hole Lids and a few Speed Queens.

I'm afraid to go to a Laundromat today with the dumbed down water temps and customers. God only knows what is growing inside those water stingy machines. And Right. The attendants are running the clean cycle on the front loaders at the end of the day.

"Cool Speed Queens' that made their own water as they filled!!"

What means this "made their own water"? Like voiding is making water, they leaked on the floor? I hope oxygen and hydrogen were not combining in close proximity to the machines and customers.

Please clairfy and no, I don't mean the bhutter, Julia.

The '60s Speed Queens

jetcone's profile picture
when you turned them on the motor came on grinding away and nothing was moving in the machine as it filled out the twin shoots at the top of the tub. But that water that came out of the divided fill shoot was all white and bubbly so I figured that the motor was making the water and aerie rating it as well and thats why the motor was grinding away before the cycle actually started.
No one has ever been able to open a machine up and prove to me that it wasn't making the water!!


See you in a day or so Tom.

Are you sure that it was not just SQ's famous aerated fill?

Did you ever see the ones with the detergent dispenser on top between the lid and the control pan where the water dissolved the detergent before dispensing it?

How much fun these cartoons are. Back in the day, you'd see one on the big screen during Saturday afternoons at the at movies.

 

The agi looks so much like the slender-necked gray ones in the early SQ Conventionals-- with a hint of Gyrator, too.

 

Did you notice how one batch of washers has the colored keys of Keyboard Lady K vintage?

 

Very satisfying. When else have we had such extended footage of the washing sequence? The starching was really a fun surprise.

 

"Cool Speed Queens' that made their own water as they filled!!" Jon, you are a riot!
