Martin, I have never seen an Easy wringer before. I have a spindrier and it washed well. Good to get it going again. Gary | ||

Seldom seen? It was hard to find anything about this washer I am not sure when it was made either I just suspect it's from the 60s before they went belly up. It is fun to wash clothes in though. | ||

Almost everything you wanted to know about Easy Washer
Of Syracuse, NY; but couldn't be bothered to ask. *LOL*
mcgrathsearch.com/Mattydale_Stuff... progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/201... Easy had three model lines; the vacuum (with those three cones that went up and down), the "Spiralator" and an agitator washer. The latter two were (IIRC) part of their "spindrier" twin tub line, but also sold as stand alone wringer washers. Easy also made the General Electric twin tub washer that pops up now and then on offer. At some point Easy dropped the vacuum washers and just went with "spindrier" and wringer washers. Easy became Syracuse Washer Corp in 1932. It was later purchased by Union Chemical and Material Company (1955), who in turn sold it to Murray Company in 1957. Finally Hupp got their mitts on it in 1963 and shut things down. Though famous for their Spindrier twin tubs, Easy likely needed to round out their product line by selling wringer washers for various reasons. One was that despite the growing chorus against wringers, and obvious benefits to using a spin dryer, not every housewife was sold on idea. Easy spindriers took up more kitchen real estate than a wringer washer. That and the things weren't exactly stable when spinning. Consumer Reports/Union had all sorts of quibbles with Easy washers of both types. Besides the vibrations there were complaints about the raised drain cover abrading fabrics. | ||

For the record, Easy Canada was another matter
Not part of the above sale to various entities it went a different path. You can see their entire line up in this thread: www.automaticwasher.org/c...

How nice to see an Easy Wringer
Have only seen one once. It's like they cut a spindrier in half. The pump control and motor switch were on the bottom left, just below where they were on the Easy Spins. Your machine with the racing stripes is from late 40's to mid 50's. Could you show a pic of the controls. Wait, I just saw your newer pic with the controls, but maybe a close-up would be appreciated.
I agree that these Easies are rare. Though the Spindriers pop up all the time, the wringers hardly ever do. A big fan of All Things Easy, have my eye out all the time. I also need a coupler for one of my Easy Spins. So you used radiator hose? More info would be helpful. Interesting that the famous engineers at Easy used a coupler for the transmission on the wringers just like the spindriers. You don't normally see a coupler like that on a wringer. There used to be a decal on the tub that boasted: "Precision Engineering, since 1877." | ||

When Hupp took over, the control cables changed, the transmission was dramatically overhauled and it was never the same, weaker and prone to breakdown. The precision Decal has worn off. Long live Easy Spin!

Wood
Is cheap, plentiful and if machine was made during war time (WWII) likely restrictions on metals for that effort may factor in as well.
When you consider hand mangles/wringers were made mostly of wood and metal it isn't so far fetched for Easy to have parts using same material. Properly chosen and seasoned wood will last many years of contact with water. | ||

Your Spiralator is mint and lightly used. Older ones are usually missing a lot of enamel. I'll show you a pic of a well-worn one tomorrow. The tub is beautiful, too, and for twenty bucks--what a steal!!! Nice.
I Have a knob for that lid; it's the same as the spindrier lid for that period, the washtubs obviously being identical for wringers and spinners. Email me your address and I'd be happy to send you the knob. As for the amusing wood, I was surprised as you were to discover wooden blocks inside a wringer. These brands all used wood: Kenmore, Norge, Blackstone, Easy Mc Clary (yeah, I've got a square, full-skirted Canadian wringer), Wards, and maybe more; these are the ones I've opened up. But hey, windmills and wooden shoes last a long time, too! As for that weep hole, I'm stymied too; never seen that before! Thanks for the pix. Love that unique lower control center--so cool. I'm envious. What a beautiful machine. The feeding tray is a breeze to paint. More on the coupler and Eugene's part tomorrow. | ||

Can't think of any other reason for that hole. Water will always seek it's own level, so in a wringer washer it will be going down, not gushing upwards.
All wringers/mangles hand or machine operated required periodic few drops of oil. On Maytag conventional washers some parts are packed in grease, the roller bearing needs a drop of oil every several weeks depending upon how hard used. But Maytag's wringers open up like a clam so easy to get at spots that require. Those oil holes are quite common on many older appliances; motors, gears, etc... Before better quality greases/oils came on scene allowing "permanently lubricated". With a wringer/mangle due to nature of work involved there is a constant exposure to water. Worse that water will be laden with detergents or soaps, so sooner or later whatever lubrication at certain exposed points will need refreshing. | ||

News to me; we need Brad Ross on the scene
None of my wringers require oil, only grease.
Here are the pix: The Easyspin tub looking like yours; the beat up spiralator; two black spiralators, one American, one Canadian, the Canadian being about an inch larger; the Canadian Mc Clary Easy which, though it has the narrowest footprint of barely 20 inches, has the largest capacity except for the Montgomery Ward Signature which I haven’t measured yet; And your knob & screw, ready for tomorrow’s mail. | ||

Thanks!! Thanks for the knob Micky!!!!!!!! It will be awesome to have a complete machine. I'll investigate the wringer oil hole a bit more...and get some pictures. Are those spiralators plastic or metal? Mine is metal,I think aluminum. | ||

My white one is identical to yours, not sure if it's aluminum, iron or steel, but it IS hard as fudge LOL. The black ones are plastic. Also, the Canadian Girl operates at a slower speed than her American sister, really nothing like the Easies as I have known them, except for that massive Spiralator.
