So awesome!! Seeing those machines makes want even more!! Are those Continental machines soft mount machines? Can you please tell me more about the 4th machine from the end? Is it a 40LB machine too? You have some nice machines Lee! Looks like being a washman is pretty fun, being that you get to run the machines all day. Lee, I don't think you realize for me, how awesome it would be to live nearby, I'd be observing those machines everyday! There is actually a Janitorial supply business a few blocks from home. I'll check there tomorrow and see what trouble I can get into. Hopefully I can get what I need. Thanks thus far!! Keep those machines going!!
4th from end not sure which end you speak
the 2 middles machines which would be 4th from each end. from left end is a Speed Queen 150. the other is a softmount uniwash high speed. 40 lb. All the Continentals are soft mount high speed machines. the 20 and the 3 40's
Washman is a VERY hard and demanding job. Keeping 9 washers going all the time is very difficult. I want no more than 1 min turn around time on any thing smaller than 150 and only 2 mins on the 150's Not to mention all the tumblers that must he keep going also. Most of the work is just down right nasty and the summer can make odors almost overbearing. Esp. after a weekend. Morgue linen O. R. and E.R. and ambulance linens are all quite "ripe" most of the time. Also most of the time E R carts must be hosed down and cleaned with Alcohol. Many times it takes all 3 of us to get themals out of the machines. As they are so heavy when wet and if they dont balance the frist try or two they tend to "tie up" and they have been times we had to rerun the last softener bath to even get them to unload. Not often but it does happen. Sheets can be a problem from time to time too. Weekend washman must clean vacuum and clean all intake filters on all washers. His job is a little different he also has to hose out all carts and the trucks too. [this post was last edited: 7/15/2010-05:18]

I have ordered the top panel and kick panel. Still no luck on the timer. The latest quote I have is $800. Didn't have time to stop by the supply store today. Try tomorrow.
Yes, That job is very busy, but It still is easier than what I was doing 5 months ago. 9 machines + tumblers going at once, I say I could do that, more of a routine type of deal. The machines make it all worth doing.
The 150 LB machine I could tell it had SQ written all over it. The one I'm interested in is the Uniwash? machine. How long have you had it? How reliable is it? , etc.

Reeco Timer Co. 321-952-1889
$175 for main and $50 for reversing-> If I'm going to do that, better send in both timers. Before I do that, have to locate the schematics for the machine, and possible repair manual. The top and kick panel should be here in a few days.
Thanks Lee!
