Hi friends

Just saw that nice thing on Marketplace.

Washer looks very much like Speed Queen or Simplicity 1970s era

"Besoin d une hose de renvoie pour le rinsage"

Needs a hose for rinsing/return (water). Oh and to drain as well.

Viking was brand name slapped onto appliances sold by Eaton's (Canada's version of Sears).

Eaton's like Sears didn't make anything; they simply sourced things from manufactures.

I wonder if anyone has ever made a top loading tumble washer like this...with the built in spin drier.

 

[launderess]

Yes,

But they were sold in Europe only, not North America.

Wonderful

Thank-you for that mystery person hiding behind the Laundress/Hyacinth Bucket profile.

Doesn't look like I'll find one here in the u.s.

There is quite a lot to read about them on this site. Just search for Turnamat.
