one more idea, I have these magnets, that stick in place, and are a little thinner, and can be cut to fit as needed.....
My new
- Thread starter wringer
- Start date
Help Support :
and only raised the agitator about 1/2 inch....
and allowed the lid to be lowered.....not that I need this, but some general ideas to make adaptions for it to fit....especially since the block is the same size and shape....
now Mickey...your turn.....and I would like to see a video of it if possible, there is gonna be some water movement...BIG TIME
Jim, the 210 degree stroke is how far the agitator oscillates in one direction....most machines were only 180, some more, some less.....

Here's a picture
of the agitator from the late 1940's Speed Queen washer. These machines really didn't change that much over the years. They eliminated the stainless or aluminum, whatever it was made of, agitator and wringer skirt. Most likely as a cost savings. But these changes would have no effect on washing ability.
What a GREAT find!

A Thanksgiving
smoothie made in the SQ maybe Mike? I wonder if one should debone the turkey prior to making the smoothie?????? LOL Thanks for the splenation of the agitator movement Yogi. I will say this about the splash/rollover between the SQ and Maytag wringers. The 4 vain in the Maytag has a faster rollover and more splash than the SQ's more gentle rollover and hardly any splash. I can't say that I see a difference between the two as far as clothes getting cleaner. Not to worry about hijacking this thread Yogi. I find it all interesting and informative and hope it keeps going. It always amazes me about how one subject can lead to another that is very fitting to the intial subject. A good part of life here in the club !! It appears that the drive blocks are the same on the wringer and auto in the SQ line.

I forgot
to ask you Larry if the drive block was the same on the old SQ's with the metal agitators as the one on the new washers with the plastic agitators? I have not seen an old SQ for a long time. I hope you know if they are the same. Thanks !

As with Maytag, why change perfection? Speed Queens conventional blocks and agitators are constant throughout. The Newest and Last model, with the pretty more formal cap has a base about a half inch thicker, than the red one. If you switch them back and forth with a full tub of water, you'll notice a slight increase in turbulence with the white coifed nun.
Martin, I'll try the sticks shortly. Can I buy the magnets at Lowe's? New item to me. Thanks.
More pics later when I get the sticks on. The more the merrier, Larry, and these guys are too cool to think about hijacks. Have some yet-to-be-seasoned Turkey Froth, while so many of us are cooking tonight.

And turkey skin with the nun head ~
With fine visible turbulence at the tub's edge in a full load. I agree with Larry's appraisal of SQ versus MT performance. Grand Equivalence.

yeah Mickey....you can find the magnets at Lowes, in all different sizes.....just check for the flexible ones, their easy to cut, I just used what I had on hand to show you, but betting you could cut to fit the exact shape of the cone, and do all 6 sides if you choose....
I have a Maytag.....but may have to search for a SQ myself.....this looks like fun....
oh, and forget the turkey froth, with all the family tomorrow, I was thinking 'Wild Turkey' myself...lol

A Bourbon Day
With Wild Turkey on the way. And what is Thanksgiving--before all the nonsense begins, LOL !--without a little fun and joy in the Laundry Room. A bit wobbly with four Orange Buddy Bar, aka, Creamsicle sticks, but it's clear the magnets will work. "Houston, we have lift-off!" Amazing ! Thank You Martin, Jim, Larry and Company for making it possible.

Thanks to hippiedoll
for posting in another thread about a web site to find out appliance manufacture date !! I found out this SQ Wringer was built in May of 1990. I have the sales receipt that is dated May of 1991. It was a year old when it was purchased here in Ohio at Lehman's Hardware. She works like a champ and is spotless cosmetically. Anyone who has used a Maytag wringer and a Speed Queen wringer can appreciate their individual differences.
