Am posting in Imperial forum because don't believe anyone of us is actually going to buy this machine. But if moderator believes differently my apologizes in advance, and please move to proper forum.

Now for the payoff!

A self heating SQ commercial washer/extractor built in Europe!

Oh if one owned an industrial laundry with proper connections!

Very realistic price IINM.  Outside the 'collectable' category.

 

Happen to know a ballpark for MSRP?

You always post interesting things!

Would love to know what all those buttons and dials are for.

SQ Commercial Washer:

WOW! Good find Launderess. It is most likely made in the 80's. There were very well made and good performing machines. I worked with 2 of the 125# versions and they were great. Not hard to fix either.

The buttons across the top allow the operator to use the machine manually. The mechanism on the right is the card reader for automatic cycles.

Here is a video of the 125# version in service:

125# SQ shift from 400 to 800 extract speed:

3 phase motor sounds like a jet engine! Rugs were nearly dry after 397 G-Force spin. If I had the space and the electrical hookups I would but that 50# unit in a heartbeat.

Thanks for information and video link. Love how laundry shown in vid decided to sacrifice rusting and deterioration of dryer near bottom to have washers drain into floor. *LOL*

Wonder if spare parts are still out there for these machines.

"Would love to know what all those buttons and dials are for."

Making a stab at things...

Green light - Door open or open door

Red light - Machine is powered on.

I/O = On/Off

A & B are water levels (wash and or rinse bath)

T2 - Rinse bath temp

Woolmark sign - Wool and possibly delicate cycle

Next two buttons are "drain" and "spin" respectively

Button with "900" selects that spin speed instead of whatever is normal.
