Sears Detergent Hi washboy2005, Did you ever get that box of Sears detergent you were speaking of above? Just so you know, the box recommends that you use one full scoop per load. Well, they used to package the powder with a one-cup plastic measure. And I was dumb enough to take their...

Speed Queen Wringer Washer This is the exact same machine I have in my basement - only used it a few times so far - got it from an estate sale - woman I bought it from had gotten it from her mother who had gotten it from her neighbor - wheew! I paid I think $65.00 for it maybe. Looks new but...
