YOU can answer that one in your sleep !!

 

She was begging me to send down my Charcoal Set !!  I said --and I quote ---

"That's not gonna happen" !!!

Congrats Jon!

Did you have to replace the center post?

 

[appnut]

Glad you finally got it up & running.  How's the dryer?

 

[turquoisedude]

Oooo! Congratulations, Jon! That is one stunning washer. Those machines from Jersey do have a stubborn streak....

 

[gyrafoam]

Congrats. I know how much work that involves.
Great machine!

210 degree Arcuate in action - wonderful!

Gotta love a vintage '60s Speed Queen!

Nicely done Jon:

That SQ is really running nicely.

Another smoother Speed Queen action washer restore, very smooth gearbox action ....

Ps. What year was the first perforated tub SQ washer produced ?

 

[washman]

Nothing like watching the famous Arc-cuate 210 carrying the freight on washday.

Given recent tragic events, this really made my day.

More vids please.

Mike

I think the first perf tub was in the 80's. Anybody else know for sure???

 

 

Love my double solenoid drive- they slam so loud in this machine that I jumped the other day as I was leaning in on it !! LOL ! Now thats LAUNDRY DRAMA !!!
---- SLAM! into SPIN ---- !

 

True "No holes barred washing" !!

Early 80's

I have an early 80's reversing motor, with the large capacity solid tub. I think they made the switch by '83-'84.

 

[jetcone]

thank you Steve

I wasn't sure it was not the "70's.

 

 

 

[cadman]

Jon, is that the exterior of the machine in the video? Any chance of a closer pic of the controls?

 

[jetcone]

Yes Cory

 I now have all the time in the world to do that!!

 

Atleast before they come take me away to the Conversion Camps.

 

 

 

[swestoyz]

What a beauty!

 

[yogitunes]

all the more reason to attend an event, to see it in person, and in action, a video can't do it justice!

Oooooo !!!

Very Very Nice.

Love the rhythmic classic clunk clunk of the tranny and the agitator.

Perhaps some Solenoid Banging to round out the Symphony Please ?

I'll have to gather up some Laundry.

Isn't right around now it was a year ago we did the Marathon Ride to the Galumphing Plains of New Jersey ?
