Looks like a very close mate to what was our first washer.

It's been a long time since this model has come up on the site. There is one in the Aberdeen Farm photos, and another in a 2006 thread with the lights on. Lit up, it looks like something you would see in a casino; the one armed bandit comes to mind. This was definitely one of the most...

My aunt and uncle in Virginia had the dryer match to that washer for 21 years. Coolest dryer ever in my book.

110.20902990 Wow, that's the exact model my parents bought in August of 1999. Best performing washer we had. I hope you can get it up and running. Have a good one, James

Wow, sales slips to go with this great set to document when these beauties were purchased. One point of interest is that from the cycle dial it appears to be a suds saver, yet the model number reads 110.6404******. I haven't really thought too much lately about the nomenclature involved with...

If these were purchased at the same time, I wonder why whoever bought them did not go for the exact match to the washer, especially since they are both from the same model series. I guess price difference perhaps since technically the dryer was a previous year's model. A great looking almost...

That's almost the exact same model my parents bought in August of 1999. The model number on theirs was 110.20902. We had it for 5 years until we moved in 2004, and it was the best performing versatile washer we ever had. It could thrash the dirt out of heavily soiled towels or jeans, yet...

Best of luck with your restoration project. Gordon: Great to see you posting here again. Have a good one, James

Awesome. I may have mentioned it in an earlier thread, but my aunt and uncle had the original 1970 (built later 1969) version of this model. Glad to see you have it up and running again.

For me its the GE PowerShower. My grandparents as well as an aunt and uncle had one during the 70s. My aunt and uncle had theirs in their first house, but my grandparents lived a second story apartment of a two family house. I can't imagine how loud it must have been for the landlords downstairs!

Please show some photos.

I'm pretty sure I have seen this on a couple of models from the mid 1960s, but I will defer to those more expert in the Speed Queen washer timelines.

Yes.

Congratulations on finding these gems! My aunt and uncle had the original 1970 version of this model washing machine, which I believe was purchased in the latter months of 1969. They raised 5 kids with that washer until it died mid cycle in 1988. It was the lead washer that inspired my love...

Merry Christmas to you too!
