that machine looks similar to the Bradford portable my grandmother bought at Grants before they went out of business. Good find

If I could afford the shipping costs, I would take that puppy and the Frigidaire dryer that is the close match. Why General Motors ever stopped making them still mystifies me. These were some of the best.

Why can't any of these show up in Houston? I would love to have this machine, but just cant afford to have it shipped here, dad always loved the turquoise coin op machine we had at one time. Washed the clothes like a dream, and clean as a whistle.

sorry for the dupe post, hit the post button twice

OH....MY...GOD..... That is the EXACT same Speed Queen my Mom bought brand new at a Firestone store when I was like 5 years old, it worked beautifully and only needed to have a belt and pump replaced. It was the last brand new one she bought until we got our newer SQ set in 98...everything else...

that Match-All dryer is the EXACT same one Mom had, right down to the color, that thing was a work horse, and not in bad shape, was bought at an estate auction for 50 bucks, she bought it in 84 and it lasted until 97 when the motor finally died on it.

In the ole laundry cabinet: Gain Lavender Comfort detergent (the clothes smell fresh for days) or good ole Tide Clorox for whites: My mother and sister swore by it, and I dont use anything else. Fabric Softener: We dont have Final Touch or Sta-Puf here so its either April Fresh Downy or Gain...

oh that is a GREAT Speed Queen...I remember when we had to go to the laundromat and those commercial SQ washers would make their CLANK as they started agitating or shifted into spin.........next to the Kenmore Alphabet washers, I would like to find one of those again, they washed so damn well

Those are good washers....Mom had a Wizard Citation when I was younger and she loved it. It did a wonderful job on the clothes..we also had an avocado green Wizard Citation refrigerator for about 15 years til the compressor finally went out in it. Too bad you dont see many of them anymore

WOW!! Never saw a Lady Exec Hotpoint before....pretty cool how it offered an option to soak clothes before advancing into wash. Must have been their answer to the Lady Kenmore.

A Kenmore alphabet washer. We bought one at a used appliance store and it was the best damned machine. Had the gold Roto-Swirl agitator..it was missing the fabric softener dispenser from the top. Mom actually found one in a box of stuff she got at an auction. We put it on...voila!! perfect fit...

A Kenmore alphabet washer. We had one that we bought at a used appliance store and it was the greatest damned machine..had the gold Roto-Swirl agitator..was missing the fabric softener dispenser...but Mom found one in a box of stuff she bought at an auction. We tried it on the machine..voila...

Yeah? I didnt know that..Mom always put it in the rinse water...never with the detergent...I guess thats why our washer never got a build up......that is really wild

When I was little, Mom used this fabric softener called Rain Barrel. I remember how fresh and clean it smelled...Ive wondered what happened to it. Does anyone here ever recall their mom, grandma, or aunts using it?

I love that machine. My mother bought a white one just like that for my cousin at an auction for EIGHT DOLLARS. The only thing it needed were new hoses and she used it for like 7 or 8 years and gave it to her sister who used it til it finally died....and that was only like 10 years ago. Its...

now how cool is that

When I was little..Mom had a Wizard Citation..one of two she had up until I was 9..then she switched to a Speed Queen....we had that one for about 9 years til it died and we went to a coin op(YES coin op) turquoise Frigidaire..it had the gold light to let ya know it was working and the red when...

awesome pics....nice to see old machines like that still going

My mother had this EXACT same dryer and an older 70 series washer with the suds return on the timer..(the only part on it she ever had to replace while we had it). Got the set at an estate auction for FIFTY dollars for the pair and we had them both for 9 years until they finally went to the...
