About as BOL as it gets.

[cam2s]

This came accross on my local craigslist and I thought I'd share here. I know some people enjoy BOL machines and these certainly fit the bill. The washer doesn't even have selectable water temps in the timer, it's a warm wash cold rinse. The agitator is a lovely shade of grey too.

I cant remember if Galaxy was the first other name the BOL for Sears or Capri but both were the definite BOL.

The Dryer:

So basic, it doesn't have AIR FUFF!!!!

So no Delicate stuff can be washed in the washer----DELICATELY!!!!

True BOL machines. I'm actually surprised the dryer has an automatic cycle on it as opposed to just a timed cycle.

Even though the washer has only one temp setting programmed into it (warm wash, cold rinse) you can alter your wash temp to what you want by adjusting the water supply faucets. It just depends on what you want to do to achieve the temps you want. Where there's a will there's a way by all means.

Yes, I would have thought a clockwork timer would be the simplest and cheapest form of dryer control.

Warm wash only???? What the f..... NO! I mean really??? Not for me! But you could just close cold water tap and get only hot during filling and adjust faucets to fit your temp needs....as BOL as it gets for real! After this you only have actual semi- automatics!

 

[lebron]

They look very low use, perhaps in a condo or cabin that didn't see many people?

 

[foraloysius]

Temperature selection at the tap and no water lever selection, you're supposed to wash full loads only. I guess you would find these machines in salons for washing towels or so?

 

[kenmoreguy89]

Right,...water level along with it! You can do reduced loads and or few items but you'd waste lot of water it is not needed for them.....

I would just as soon have...

An ingrown toenail....You could get rid of that!!LOL

Dryer

I have that dryer. It's got very accurate controls, you just set it at that star and hit the button. No buzzer or anything, but it works well. And will probably run forever.

The washer-----I wouldn't want it, true, but as a college kid it would have been an improvement over carrying laundry baskets to the bus to the laundromat. I would have loved it. It would be easy to turn off the cold water at the start to get a hot wash, then just turn the valve back on once it fills, you'll get your cold rinse.

I bet Sears priced them right in the day.

Capacity

These would be the same capacity as a coin-op machine, right? So why the issues with doing full loads?

Also, that indicator in the timer dial at the 11 o'clock position, is that the last increment of agitation before draining wash water or the dry agitate setting?
