SpeedQueen

Is this one old enough to be a solid tub SQ? I don't know enough about Speed Queen to tell at a glance

I don't think it is. BTW, here's the Amana version on C/L.

I think that looks to be an early-to-mid 80's Speed Queen if I am not mistaking. And it is not a McGraw Edison or an Alliance model either.

It looks like one of those Raytheon models. I don't know exactly. But I was hearing on hear that the Raytheon models do not enjoy that good of an reputation here on this site.

But I guess it doesn't hurt to check it out. I could be wrong on this one, though.

Perforated basket - still a fun washer, lots of water. This one likely still has the recirculating filter. They are very loud, the back porch is a good location for it

Mid-1980s. I have the matching dryer in daily use, one I took in trade and repaired many years ago. Just changed the felt ring last year.

I also have Amana washer, very similar to this SQ model, purchased new in 1991. Perforated tub. I have changed the motor once or twice, and the timer knob. I'm still amazed that I have not touched the pump at all. Newer (1970s) versions of Blackstone had a poor quality pump that had a tendency to swell and seize internally, so maybe I'm just assuming that a plastic pump should not last 20+ years.

Hey Mark, this is definitely a perforated tub machine.

I saw on the Amana on CL yesterday, wouldn't mind having it.
