Re: Easy TT on E-Bay:
Did anyone notice that in the description of the Washer, the person selling it mentioned that it operates on Electric and Gas? I didn't know that the Easy Washer with Spinner operated on both Electric and Gas, I thought that they only operated with Electricity...
Peace and Happy Easy Laundry Days, Steve

I question the "electric and gas" as well-do see a cord on the machine in their picture.Is there a GAS motor with it?I did see a Gas-electric air compresser that had a gas motor or an electric one. It was used to air start a VERY old Chicago-phneumatic emerg generator at the place where I work.Or does the machine have a Gas heater to reheat the water-not very famliar with "Easy" TT machines. Seen others listed here.

Oh, How I love Easys!
Wow, with the groovy Spiralator no less.
Easy had a whole mess of great agitators, including the vacuum cup, str8 vane and a rubber "turbolator" The spiralator really spun the clothes around and would spit at you, too
Steve-You must realize that when it comes to Laundry equipment, most people have NO IDEA what the heck they are talking about. Especially the dolts on flEabay.
This machaine would put me into Twin Tub heaven! I used to have an Easy and could get three or four loads done in less than an hour. Yes, YOU have to stand there and control the operation, but we all like to watch anyway huh?
Thanks for posting this Compwhiz-and heres a scan from my Easy Parts book from 1949

Re: Gas & Electric:
Hi! David, I know that some of these people listing Washers and Dryers don't know for sure what they are writing in their description, but it was funny to me {not making fun of the person of this listing} about seeing their saying it operated on Electric and Gas.
Thanks for sharing the Easy Washer Parts Book Page, I don't think that a lot of us would think or realize about all the Parts that most Machines use to put them together, unless you actually see a Parts Break-Down like this. Then you will realize just how many Parts are used, including Screws, Bolts and all the Chrome and other Small Parts.
I do know that at least in the past of Manufacturing of Maytag Wringer Washers, they did have either an Electric Motor or Gas Engine on them, with the idea that people who lived in Mountain areas or have/had Summer Homes where there wasn't Electricity, they could do Laundry, with the Gas Engine Maytag Wringer Washer.
I actually saw one in a small Town near the North/West Coast of Calif. I would imagine that at least back then if you had one of those Gas Engine Washers, you were glad to live far away from other people, due to the Noise of the Engine.
Peace, Happy Easy "Electric and Gas" Washing and Gas Engine Maytag Washing, Steve

...and silly me. I know that Maytag and others had gasolne engnes for their rural customers.
I thought the gas in this case was refernce to a gas bunsen burner or other jet/burner to keep the water hot.
As people transitioned from boiler tubs for their laundry to semi-automatics, I would assume they were used to super-hot water.
Here in the nation's largest city most folks had gas for lighting and eventually cooking, very early-on.
Before the utilty of natural gas was known/harnessed it was burned off at the source as a nuisance! Gas was manufactured/ made by the gassififcation of coal.

I have an Easy service manual that has care and use instructions for the Easy Gasoline Engine, made for all models of Easy washers. There is a strange bracket below this eBay machine that might have at one time held a gas engine. It's possible that it was converted to a standard electric motor later on...
Super Hot Water
Was needed because up until the mid-1940's or 50's soap was the primary cleanser for laundry. The hotter the water, the better soap works/dissloves. One would start with hot/boiling water for whites/lights and by the time it cooled down one could do the "darks" (what there was of them). Mind you when washing jeans and overalls caked with farm muck, one probably was better off using hot or very warm water to help get them clean.

Just wondered if any of these machines did use gas to heat the water??
Many of the Servis range twinnies did have this option, both the big Superheat single tub and the 1960`s twinnies, had a small gas burner under the washtub to heat the water..
And hence the marketing slogan above.

My 1918 Easy
Has the custom gas heater underneath, you just slip on a flexible hose , turn on the gas, ignite and (die or survive) and if you survived you swung the glowing burner back under the tub where the open flame heated the wash water.
How safe!! ,...............................NOT!
