Funny thing.... know the EXACT laundromat that these are /were in. It's on Lovett St, in Charlotte Michigan. Imagine a place where these were predominate, probably 25 or so supplanted by about 8 TRIPLE load Milnors, and about 15 Speed Queen solid tubs in IIRC an (burnt) orange color, gold and like a creme white. The place was DEFINITELY remodeled in the early 70's. Best thing was that, he had TONS of parts for these machines in the shop next door, which also was well known in that area for fixing both vacuum cleaners, and bicycles; but ironically NOT washers/dryers etc... Bought a few older vacuums from there too. All can say is, that, while HARD used, they were definitely WELL cared for... At least 25 years ago anyway....LOL!!!

These were gravity drain if remember correctly. They all sat on a concrete riser about 12-14 inches high off the main floor, with the drain trough in between them, and all bolted as described. Used them several times , and washed wonderfully. Much better IMHO than the triple load Milnors, which today, with Electrolux branded FL's are predominate in my area....

I have talked to Gary again and he told me there is a pump kit for this machine so it will pump the water out which is great news I wasn't sure how I was going to configure the drain setup. |

Good job! Congrats! Always happy to assist a fellow member!
Think the bolting down and having to "sink a pit" or come up with a draining solution due to lack of pump kept other members away. It certainly caused me to lose interest; cannot see drilling holes through floor joists! *LOL* The 220V power also would be an issue as am fresh out of outlets. |
