Hi Guys,

I found this machine yesterday while curbside crawling, Its a two speed machine, with infinitely variable water temp, solid tub, infinitely variable water level (measured by pressure switch) 4 wash/spin speed combos.

I'm assuming that this is a Beam design of machine? Can anyone let me know if thats a correct assumption?

Thermostat and Water levels

Water supply button tells it whether to open the hot or cold valve for wash, and the press to heat button turns on the heater until the thermostat is satisfied.

Drain tub fill, recirc port and Rinse Fill

Water enters the machine into the drain tub through the little inlet hose, until the pressure switch is satisfied.

If the heater is turned on, the machine then heats.

Once the water is at the right temp, the machine starts and pumps the water up through the hose on the left.

During Rinse the water is inlet from the hose on the right.

Is this a Beam design? It looks a lot like Roberts Wizard

Finally - A vent at the back

Which is perrished and strangely deformed.

Does anyone know what purpose it serves?

Wow Nathan, what a cool machine!!! Great find if you ask me!

This machine does appear to be a Beam design, judging by those two mega-solenoids and Fluid Drive. The pump looks like the same one used on solid-tub SQ machines as well.
