Hi everyone. Had a tech swing by the store yesterday to pick up a dishwasher for install. All the guys there know i collect vintage appliances. He told me that they had just picked up a Speed Queen Marathon Washer and wanted to know if i was interested and i said od course, he said good because if i didn't want it was going to the crusher. Swung by this morning to check it out. in excellent condition They are going to take it for a test drive through the cycles for me, to see if it checks out ok.If it does it will become my daily driver

I have adopted a Speed Queen washer

good evening club fans, got an email from one of our servicers that recondition machines on the side, he said i quote your Speed Queen passed with flying colors tested all cycles and every thing is fine, our delivery crew will deliver it to me next Thursday or Friday, couldn't ask for a better Christmas present. Picturs to follow as soon as she is up and running. What do you all think would be a good name for her? Mike

ALRIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS on the speed queen passing all her tests!!!
can't wait to see pictures!!!

as for a name for your new baby, since you say that "she" is a "christmas" present, the name "CHRISSY" popped into my head.

let us know what you decide her name is going to be.
(and don't forget the pictures)

congrats.....can't wait to see pics.....

I was thinking....on Christmas day, throw a load in 'Speedy'.....

theres a place here that makes these wraps for cars, but they are showing uses for other things, so far I have seen a fridge, done as an XRay of things inside....I am wondering of something like this for a SQ for example, the insides of a machine, or a load of clothes washing....

Speed Queen name

Mike, How does this name sound? Priscilla, Queen of the Laundry? I kind of like that. Have fun with your new machine. Gary

How about Ray, for Raytheon. The company that made him.

delivery of my Speed Queen

good evening guys and gals, The Speed Queen washer will be delivered tomorrow afternoon between 12-3. My 1989 Magic Chef Norge built is going to have to take a back seat for a while, I wish i had a set up where i could have several of my washers going at once. Stay tuned.

Mike
