Wow! Now there's a washer/dryer!
Congratulations Eddy! Are these SQ's made in Canada or are they from the US? Just curious. When I was growing up I'm sure that one of our neighbors had these machines (or ones very similar) in their laundry room. We were good friends with these neighbors and I'm sure that's why my Mom got the 1964 SQ to replace our old Thor washer when it was beyond repair.
These machines look to be in excellent condition considering they are the same age as I am! Great find! I'm glad you saved these treasures!
Have fun with these!
Mike

Mike, these are US built Speed Queens. I don't think McGraw Edison had their Canadian factory open yet.
Louis: You're right, they've got to be 59's. In fact, the date stamped on the timer was Dec 8, 1959. ;-)

Oh Eddie - this are just stunning! Who would have thought that the set would only take 8 years to find you - congrats on this amazing find. When you have time - more photos of the dispensing containers would be cool. SQ's are certainly one of the coolest vintage washers out there.

Eddy!
ROFL!!
ROFL!!
See everyone
You should always buy the manuals even if you don't own the machines. The washer gods will smile down on you and deliver once you have the manuals!

Once the manuals exist in your collection the Quantum Mechanical state of ownership has been defined thereby setting discovery of the machines to be the favored outcome from all possible outcomes.

And if you own the manuals
You will know all about the machine before you even get it!
Ben: Some pictures for you. First the dispenser without the caps on.

Is that true for men as well? Cuz if so, I'm going to build an altar... (yes, I took Anderson's altar apart - that was a crisis-driven infatuation and didn't last!)
Eddy, that machine looks like NEW -- look at the shine on that panel!!

Eddie - too cool. I now wonder what the knobs on the front do. Does the user turn the knob a certain way to signal to the machine that either type of conditioner is present and to dispense and flush the container? Just a beautiful machine - another reason to LOVE '59's.

those knobs
are for resetting the dispensers to the upright position after the washload. They are connected to the dispenser cups by a rod on the bottom. The dispensing solenoid tips the cup over and spills the contents at the right time. They stay tipped over until the user turns them back upright with the front knobs. I haven't actually set these machines up yet, I'm waiting to move them into our new home at the end of the month.
