... turned up the water level... How do you do this?

Here's a question, does the tub move less when you use a Exactly! With a lower water level, or a lighter load the basket does not index. At least mine doesn't.

I don't understand the dual-action agitators at all. Supposedly, it drags clothes down to the bottom of the tub where the best wash action occurs. But, I don't see where the clothes are spending "more time" in the better wash zone than if the clothes are circulated more slowly. After all, if...

That sounds like one of those new "OverFlow" Wash cycles. :-) Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I will challenge anyone who disagrees with that. Follow this linky- do I win one? http://www.lehmans.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=613&itemType=PRODUCT&iProductID=613

Just got a Speed Queen MOL washer for $560.00 and we love it. OUr '95 Maytag's tub seal was leaking and I wasn't impressed enough with the Maytag to save it. You can't go wrong with a Speed Queen. The Fisher/Paykel was our 2nd choice, but the difference in capacity seemed too big. The F/P was...

I've seen pictures of these on the following web site - http://www.oldewash.com/

My first memory of Dexter was when I was about 4 years old. My mother had a Dexter twin-tub wringer washer. She was doing the laundry one Monday (it must have been about 1957)and she had me stay with her so I wouldn't get in any trouble. When she needed to take a load of clothes outside to hang...

Manufactures are constantly trying to find cost effective wa I agree. I wish they would make them like they did in the 50's, 60's, and the 70's. I think the downfall began with the direct drives, the short agitation strokes, and the dreaded dual agitator, an excuse to cheapen something that...

I can't believe the ignorance of someone to get rid of such a beautiful machine! And I'm glad it fell in to such an aficionado's hands. Congratulations!

Older Speed Queens were not too common in the home around here either. Recently they could be found in many apartment buildings, but few and far between for home use. This is Whirlpool/Kenmore/Maytag country. I even know of a 6-plex that had a coin-op Speed Queen with the famous over-flow rinse...

Never knew GE made wringers! This little lady knew...

Did they ever put out a clear tub like Roberts maytag wringe I remember as a boy going to the strip plaza with my mom. One store (was it Western Auto?) had a clear tub wringer washer running constantly that you could watch from the store window. It was filled with streamers so you could plainly...

aw shucks, no video with this one :-)

What little experience I've had with the Speed Queens involved the apartment pay-type washers. Behind the tub to on the right side was a switch that could be held in either the up or down position (I don't remember which) to allow the machine to run with the lid open. The right side lid hinge...

I love that agitation, it's almost hypnotic. I can stare at that wash action forever. Thanks so much for sharing.

Kim Novak I don't think I ever saw a girl with the name 'Kim' that wasn't beautiful. And Kim Novak was one of my favorites.

Sadly, I have been in homes much filthier than this before! Lol! I have been to homes as a cable technician. Upon entering the basement, you can't see the floor from all the clothes lying on it. I like to tell the lady that 'We not only provide cable service, but we will also do laundry for...

Please, don't tease me by merely telling ume. A video or two of the automatic and the wringers would be nice. Maybe I wouldn't be so jealous of your collection then.

What does the agitator look like? Is it a standard gyrating agitator, or does it have the cups that pulse up and down?? Not that I am interested in getting it, although really I am. If I purchased all of the washers that I was interested in, I would have to rent the Vehicle Assembly Building...
