    Heads Up! SQ Washer

    I have a couple early 1980s SQ Marathons: an '82 with porcelain tub and an '84 with stainless tub-noisy and a little crude,but effective :) nowhere near the fit and finish quality of an older DC Maytag,but those are a high standard in that regard.

My biggest music machine is an AMI jukebox from 1976,loaded...
