Another smoother Speed Queen action washer restore, very smooth gearbox action ....

Ps. What year was the first perforated tub SQ washer produced ?

Nothing like watching the famous Arc-cuate 210 carrying the freight on washday.

Given recent tragic events, this really made my day.

More vids please.

Early 80's

I have an early 80's reversing motor, with the large capacity solid tub. I think they made the switch by '83-'84.

Jon, is that the exterior of the machine in the video? Any chance of a closer pic of the controls?

all the more reason to attend an event, to see it in person, and in action, a video can't do it justice!

Oooooo !!!

Very Very Nice.

Love the rhythmic classic clunk clunk of the tranny and the agitator.

Perhaps some Solenoid Banging to round out the Symphony Please ?

I'll have to gather up some Laundry.

Isn't right around now it was a year ago we did the Marathon Ride to the Galumphing Plains of New Jersey ?
