Watch this It should be the same as this Speed Queen only turn the opposite way he does.

James, I’m so glad you’re restoring this pair. In much better condition than I had envisioned. Wonderful progress, I hope to see these in person one day! Where did our summer go?? Eddy

Yes James! Yes, I did have one with a very fast tub brake. I had forgotten about that machine which unfortunately I no longer have. But I kept souvenirs like the agitator and control panel.

I would love to have a BOL Niagara! As one who uses a wringer washer often, I like the hands on approach and the limitless rinses/ water levels one could have with this machine. I'm glad it will have a water pump as I have no floor drain in my basement.

Very happy to hear the good news, your 1070 lives on!

Dear L Once you get the timer knob off there will be screws underneath that will facilitate the removal of the whole timer. Then it's just a matter of plug and play. Good luck and the new timer you have should solve your problems.

What I do sometimes is after the spray rinse, I stop the machine and reset it to the beginning for a 4 minute normal cycle using warm wash cold rinse. So in effect that gives a 4 minute warm rinse followed by another 2 minute cold rinse automatically.

This is the first solenoid controlled Simplicity I've seen! Most all were reversing motor models. Can I ask what part you needed to keep it going? I forgot all about this thread...

Like this one?

You could go for this one Brad, probably a little less work to do but this is a pretty machine. Up near Shuswap. Road trip?

Paul I admire your tenacity at bringing this beauty back to life! I may have missed it, but where did you source your bearings? Did you just bring the old one and have them match it or did you know a part #? Awesome job!

That control panel Ben, that's one of the most wild control panels. I love it, it's very high. Beautiful find!

So good to hear from all of you! It runs, albeit noisily due to bad bearings.

A look under the skirt.... oh no!! Got a bit of work to do.

Pics Thanks for all your comments! It really was an exciting find. Now for a tub shot and lighted control panel.

I'd like to share a fantastic find with you. 1962 Speed Queen combo! I can't take any credit for finding this, that goes to my friend James (114jwh) who alerted me to a local Craigslist ad. It was advertised as non-functional which was correct. This this was a beast to move at 380 lbs. As...

Hi Kieran, did you take a picture of the agitator? I have a few wringer washers and love to use them from time to time. Eddy

I can appreciate the hard work you put into this fabulous display Leon! Hopefully one day Rob and I can make the trip over.
