DING - SCORE

[Unimatic1140]

After three years of not hearing a word, my favorite recycler called yesterday and said he got in something that I need to look at. I went down this morning to pick it up.

Here's a little Riddle for a hint:

Drop in the quarter and pull the big ring, the sprial smackalation will soon sing. When all lights are out and the clothes are spun so very dry, some wont even need to fly high on the line.

Is it an Easy coin-op??

 

[coldspot66]

A GM Frigidaire rapidry coin-op???????????? On second thought no........spiral smackulation????? Apex?????? Did they make coin-op machines????? I doubt it!!!!!!!!

 

[zzzzz]

A coin-op GE Filter-Flo?

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Coin op

Speed Queen

 

[mayken4now]

Apex - my guess

 

[jasonl]

It's a Seeburg 222, 160 selections, stereo tube amplifier.

But it could a coin-op Easy with some kind of high speed extraction.

Get your clothes clean with a Seeburg!

I never knew jukeboxes spirally smackulated!

*Ducks and runs*

 

[appnut]

co-op apex

 

[Unimatic1140]

For those of you who said an Easy, you are partially correct. The white paint is peeling off the control panel, but that is easily fixed...

Pulling the Ring

The Big Spirlator Agitator, I can't wait to see this in action!

 

[Unimatic1140]

and the lid instructions...

 

[Unimatic1140]

But wait, what about a quarter and a high speed spin?

There more coming, how about a 1960 Coin-op Unimatic!

 

[westytoploader]

WOW!!!! How awesome, congratulations!! That agitator takes up half the tub...I can imagine the waves it makes!! Bet those clothes have no problem moving around either!

Doesn't Jon have one of these (I saw a 1960 Easy's control panel and spin-spray action in his Yahoo album)?? Calling Jetcone...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Gotta Love that window lid!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Instructions

 

[Unimatic1140]

Cissel?

 

[Unimatic1140]

inside its dirty but intact, someone change the agitator at some point...

 

[hoover1060]

wow!

Very cool Robert!
Where did they come from? Or should I say where have they been all these years?

 

[frigilux]

Cool! I've never seen an Easy up close before. That's quite an agitator; even more curvacious than the vintage preggers Roto-Swirl.

I take it the 1960 coin-op Frigidaire had a rubber-ring agitator, originally?

Congrats, Robert!

 

[rickr]

WOW! What a great catch Robert! Never saw an Easy before. Is this the only Easy automatic in the club? Love the shape of the control panel.And the start ring. Any lights in that machine,and what year is it?

 

[gansky1]

Amazing!! This looks like Jon - Jetcone's machine. Is this a Velva-Power transmission?

A coin-op Unimatic, the waiting paid off for sure and in color!

 

[gyrafoam]

What *Pachinko* queen designed THAT Easy console? Nevertheless, Just love! Great find----I only recognize agitator cap and inside of lid. Looks very Beamish/Hotpointish what is it? Am glad it was you that found it as now it has a great chance of being restored.

I remember whole laundries with those Frigidaires! How unusual to find one intact!

Congratulations on a great 'fishin trip!

 

[toggleswitch]

i cant wait to see these in action!

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

[Brent-Aucoin]

Oh Wow!

Robert!
What great finds!
I can't get over how great the shape of the Easy is in!
Love the Coin-Op Fridgidaire! That is so cool. You just have to leave the #7 on it.
Thanks for the pictures.
Brent

 

[drmitch]

Love the Easy control panel!

 

[swestoyz]

Robert - these are some amazing finds! Not only the Easy but yet another coin opp Frigidaire - in everyone's favorite color! These machines are going to fun to see - enjoy.

Thanks everyone! and yes the Easy is a "Velvapower" style direct drive transmission/pump, and a suds-saver to boot. I've never seen one of these run before, so it will be interesting.
