Ok.. so I’ve settled on a new-to-me speed queen — whether its really new or not. Probably not brand-new. My 1976 Maytag top loader in harvest gold is showing signs of transmission failure — I found some lube in the tub the other day after doing a load.. ugg.. I’ve been through this game with a 10 year newer Maytag that died in the exact same way. I’ll probably take parts off it and sell them and scrap the rest.
Anyway, my question revolves around Speedqueens. I seen various models on CL, Facebook Market place, etc and I can’t tell one model from another feature wise.. I’m honestly not that interested in the TC or TR’s I believe but don’t mind going with one that’s under 20 years old — preferably closer to 10 years old with plenty of trouble-free life left.. I’ll admit that I might be ok with a TC/TR if there’s some compelling reason to choose one over the older model SQ’s.
I don’t know the sizing of the tubs — one was listed as “extra large capacity” while another is listed as “super capacity”..
I’ll admit that I’m a bit confused — I don’t know which are larger size wise — are they more or less the classic transmission setup I assume unless they’re the TR’s. Thoughts??
Ps. I gather that most of these machines are roughly from the same era — except the one for $165 which is obviously older.. Thoughts??
Here’s a few for reference :
