Hoover Spindryers for sale

[abcomatic]

Hi everyone, I have a friend who lives near Tulsa, OK and has an appliance business. He has several Hoover spindryers that he has for sale; many of the them are harvest gold in color. If any of you are interested, let me know and I can get in touch with him.
I can give you his e-mail upon request. Thanks and happy washing, Gary

Brand new?

 

[mistereric]

are these twintubs or just clothes spinners?

 

[tuthill]

I believe these are twin tubs

Are these the machines with the "faucet" style filling mechanism... which I assume allows for spin rinsing the clothes.

Hoover Twin Tubs

Came in two flavours for the United States market.

Early models did not have "automatic" spin rinsing, while later models had a faucet that one either filled the wash tub or used for spin rinsing.

Considering poster stated units come in Harvest Gold, am going to assume they are the later models with automatic spin rinse, as that colour was big for appliances during the 1960's and 1970's.

Have a Hoover TT in my collection, and must say they are fun to use. Noisy and messy, but fun. Just as with wringer washers and large Easy SpinDrier units, if one abandons the notion of using fresh water for each wash load, and sticks to spin rinses, one can whiz through quite allot of laundry in very little time. Certianly faster than many front loading washers, and perhaps even some top loaders.

I remember seeing both the Auto-Rinse model and the standard model in the stores at the same time so they could be either. There is a store in Early, Iowa that has scads of the earlier stainless wash-tub models and a few plastic-tub models around but every one of them is used and likely needs a pump.

Does your friend have any parts around for these? Those are getting rare as hen's teeth now.

That Reminds Me

Have a box of MIB parts for Hoover twin tubs that one must catalog from Hoover parts and repair manual.

Perhaps on the first cold snowy day this winter.

Ooooh.... Hoover Laundry Doctrine - never have seen that before. For a while, I was snagging some NOS Hoover laundry parts on ebay and tossing them in a box. Not sure what's even in there now. I know I was thrilled when I won them ;-)

 

[launderess]

No, Honey

I have a rather BIG ole box of Hoover parts!*LOL*

IIRC, there are some belts and a spin mat, the rest are various bits, switches and so forth. Hence my need for and getting a vintage Hoover service and parts manual, to look up the darn things. Think stuff came from a former Hoover dealer or repair person as lot of things came in those little tanish/orange paper envelopes popular in the day for all sorts of things.

Oh, and have two NIB spare motors as well.

All this for a machien one uses barely once every few months.

You're doing better than I, the one I had is living elsewhere now - and unused ;-)

more news on the Hoovers

I just talked with my friend who has these machines. Some have faucets to fill and some don't. The machines have 2 tubs. He also has a Speed Queen and a Maytag A50 Spindriers too.
He said he would make sure they are in working order before he would sell them. He just needs the room and that is why he is selling them. If anyone is interested, contact me and I will e-mail his e-mail address to you. Thanks, Gary
