It's Absolutely Better Than New! Wow John! I believe your restoration is better now then when it originally left the factory! Incredible! It's like traveling in a time machine! Love the layout of the controls AND the fact that there are no signs of fingerprints on the chrome! I agree with...

I worked for Kirby as well.......... Hey Harley & Mark, I worked for Kirby in the Summer of '79. The model that was out was the Classic III. My partner and I purchased one because it was made so well. My aunt bought one and I sold 2 more. My best week was when I sold 3 of them. The...

1976 - Definitely Maytag! My parents purchased a house in 1975. All the appliances came with it - in avocado no less. We did get a A208 and matching gas dryer. They worked well for us. Mom couldn't get used to not hearing the washer running since it was in the basement. It was a quiet...

SQ Pump Hey Eddy, we don't have hard water here in Bloomington, since our water comes from Lake Evergreen north of Normal. But we purchased the machine for $50.00 from a subdivision south of town that only had well water. I could tell the high iron content because the original agitator and...

SQ Infinite Water Fill Hey Eddy, we had a mid-70's model SQ stainless steel solid tub washer with the infinite water level. We were fools to throw it to the curb when we kept having to replace the pump as it leaked every few years or so. That was before I discovered AW.org! Had I'd known...

Califone Director Cue Hey Bob, I also remember the Califone had a cueing type device installed on the tone arm post where it fastens down for locking. There were two silver cue levers - one raises the floating cartridge to where you could play 16" and 12" records by using the lever. It...

Weight of the TT's? Hey Bob, one more thing - how heavy is the Gates and Pioneer TT's? Being that massive I would imagine very heavy! Not made for portability!!! - Mike L.

Califone Director Hi Bob, Our high school had a Califone Director just like the one you have! I remember distinctly the 12" speaker in the lid and the mile long speaker cable with the 1/4" plug. I also loved the cork turntable, it wouldn't scratch your LP's when putting them on or off the...

Definitely early 80's Hey Mike, I believe this is a middle of the line SQ. I own the HA7001 which is the TOL model. I can tell by the lack of the third knob on the left side of the control panel. On my model the left knob is the water temp, middle knob is agitation/spin speeds, and the...

Love the Vintage Fans! Love that Emerson Electric Vintage Fan! We have three Emerson Vintage fans. The first one is like the one Dan has pictured only ours is brown, grill and blades are exactly the same! The fan is on a stand and is very heavy (when quality mattered)! It oscillates as...

A/C We leave ours on 71 - 72 degrees day and night. With three roommates living in the house, we all have different work schedules. I work from 8am - 4:30pm M-F, my other roommate works 11:00pm - 7:00am S-Th, and my partner usually works 8am - 5pm or 9am - 6pm (some variables) M, W, F, &...

Early 80's machines Yep, that's a perforated tub - manufactured by Raytheon. Definitely early 80's - say 1983-84. I own a pair of the top of the line models with this same design in the control panel and yes, they still work just fine. - Mike

Looks like a later edition Magnavox The stereo is a dry sink model. I know Magnavox had one for the "Spirit of '76" collection they came out with in '76. It had a Collaro record changer. After Maggie dropped the Collaro, I believe they went the BSR route. - Mike L.

Sounds like good service! Hi Malcolm, So sorry to hear about your woes with your new SQ set. However, it sounds like you're on the right path to a fast recovery. The tech sounds like he knows what he's doing and the fact that you got a super fast response with the initial call to SQ. Good to...

Spray Rinse Feature I had a thought on this. Do you suppose the spray rinse happens soon on the newer SQ's during the spin because the water level was initially set at the factory at a lower level. This might result in the tub draining quicker, then the spray rinse would be right where it...

Congrats on the decision to purchase the SQ's! Hey Dan, You made a wise choice! You're going to have years of trouble free service from an excellent company that truly backs their products with the best warranty in the business! I've been thinking about purchasing my 3rd SQ washer when the...

Open all the time! I leave the SQ top loaders open all the time except when using, of course! I've been told that drying out the tubs will prevent the mold and mildew plus there's no stink. Mike L.

Speed Queens are the new Maytags! No need to convince me of a quality product! - Mike L.

This one used to be mine at work..... "Hello you reached Mike's office. He's not here right now - he could be out taking care of some emergency on campus, or swimming in the pool, but you're talking to me. If you want to leave a message please wait for that sound that's worse than my microwave...
