I believe these are older than the set from IL.

Those fast back consoles remind me of Whirlpool washers back in the day.

Mike, those panels reminded me of the WP BD laundry pair in the small apartment complex down the street from me in fall/spring 1974/1975.

This is a neat set from the mid to late eighties. I’ve never seen the electronic amana version of these year models.

The panel closeups are pretty blurry. Would like to see clearer images.

The ad images are not good quality.  Not much can be done to improve what isn't there.

If I am correct, by looking at the dryer handle, I’d say these were built by Raytheon.

Early SQ built Electronically Controlled W&Ds

It is neat to see any of these that actually still work.

 

Back in the 80s when SQ was making these they offered my older Brother a job because of his expertise in in quality control and electronics.

 

I remember Jerry telling me about the old wooden floored factory in Ripon Wisconsin, at the time SQ had no idea what they were doing with electronic controls, they were just relying on outside vendors to make the design and make the controls.

 

Jerry turned down the job because he did not want to live in Ripon, He wanted to stay in Minneapolis with his partner.

 

I always though it was too bad he didn't take the job since his next two younger brothers work with appliances, SQ offered him double what they initially offered and a new Volvo to try to lure him to Ripon.

 

They offered him the new Volvo because Jerry complained that there was no dealer for his Volkswagens in the area.

Louie,
Am I correct that those were manufactured by Raytheon? Was Raytheon badging washers and dryers SQ and Amana at the same time?
