Speed Queen washers and dryers for sale

[yogitunes]

from my last thread 30284...and taking Laundress' expert advise, hugs, I bought 4 sets of these machines, for $200.00....and what great machines they are...dryers only in electric....but with a little clean-up and polish, they look brand new, and work great...I added the fabric softner dispenser, and the tubs are not stainless, but you can't beat the price, besides they are true SQ underneath.....

the place I got them from have a museum/showroom of past vintage appliances, some they restored, if I had known I would have taken a camera, next time I will, the also have the double stack dryers with windows.....

Martin, did you happen to see an AWS75NW at Caleco?

Basically all I saw was the machines I had gotten plus the stacked dryers, there was a lot of coin operated ones including FL and TL.....and many parts of which they strip machines down, I don't know why, but they were all sorted and organized, we tried to switch the dryer doors from the stacked, because I wanted the window, but they were different sizes....you could always call and ask Phil, but I doubt it....I was suprised he wasn't one of us, of which he never heard of, until now, so I am trying to spread the word for members looking for machines, but I don't know why their breaking down the machines into organized parts, unless for spare parts for themselves, the service the mid-atlantic region for commercial laundry...

I also got the shipping plugs for the top and bottom of the washer

Thanks for the link! I ordered 3 caps (super cheap) and an agitator ($15)...now like I NEED an agitator...who knows, may want to take the flex vane out...I wonder if it would fit the AWN542? Sears doesn't seem to show any parts for my washer.

I didn't realize there were 2 styles of agitators at first, but seems like they would fit.....so far the hub is the same type, so it should fit....let us know for sure when you get this Dan....

I do think the solid vanes move more water, than the ones that flex, kinda like the first powerfins...

I don't know if I'm ever going to get the agitator off...I tried the "good tug" method, but with no luck...may have to create a puller of some sort. If it's anything like the control knobs (which required pliers!), they are on there good.

 

[yogitunes]

They also sell these two pullers that slip under the agitator, and you tug up....

looks like something you cuold make yourself.......I made a larger version of this for work to pull the totes off of the pallets

I wonder if they would have the sacred blue Westinghouse ramp agitator? Do they sell really old stuff?

I never see the flex vanes at the laundromat.

 

[yogitunes]

they had a number of wringers.....A turquoise GE FF set, coin operated, a bendix bolt down FL, a hamlton dryer with the glass window, and a few stoves of what I can remember

like I said I have to take my camera next time...

 

[nmassman44]

I ordered a cap as well...I am wondering if that is a solid vane agitator too and so cheap!I wanted to change out the flex vane for a solid vane one but I am going to have to order those pullers...I cant budge mine out.

 

[yogitunes]

Maybe because the new ones are virgin tight, and hard to get off the first few times......these ones I got were hard at first, I just used a belt and slid underneath, climbed on top and gave a good pull, came off first time...that agitator is hard to grip with your hands...
