The Washington Wash-In, 2010 - Maryland - What a party!

[mikeklondon]

This looks like the perfect place to spend a day or 2, until I found this site about a year ago I thought all my life (56 Now) that I was the only one with a Washer / Vacuum and gadget addiction I just wish my UK home was a bit bigger. I can see from the pics everyone had a fantastic time, O well its time to get my SEBO out and clean the place, with 2 dogs it’s a daily task.

Speed Queen twin tub - coppertone

Great little machine! Love mine. Notice this one has a 3rd dial (unlike mine), which leads me to believe it has a water heater like the U.K. versions --- is that the case?

BTW - I'm so jealous I couldn't make it - looks like a fantastic time was had by all - and great hosts!

SQ TWIN TUB WASHER

This one does not have a water heater, I wish it did. We saw very few washers of any kind in the US with water heaters built in. The three knobs on the washer control from L TO R washer drain pump, washer agitation timer, and on off switch for the spinner.

Speed Queen Controls

Brad, I took a few pics while I had the little brownie apart, here is a photo of the knobs. This is a 1-speed model and an earlier one at that, so my guess is your model omits the spinner knob and integrates the spin pump with the spinner lid switch. Your machine should have the wash drain knob and the timer knob next to it. This machine has a 3rd knob for the spin pump and spinner. When you turn it on, the spinner pump starts running and it allows the spinner to start. With it off, no power goes to either. It's a strange setup.

Here's the pic:

Like the Supertwin

As far as I know the Servis Supertwin (on which this machien is based) had a similar arrangement up until the last model where the left and centre buttons were combined.

On ours, with heater, the right hand knob positions were:
Off, Spin, Spin + Heat, Heat. I presume that the "spin" control was to allow for a soak rinse without lifting the lid - ChesterMike will be the authority on that point

While the later SQ models had a two speed motor, ours had an additional part to put over the agitaor for more vigorous washing.

Wow!!

I never realized how many handsome men are in our little group! I swear that I will someday soon make it to a wash-in. It would be so cool to meet all or at least some of you! Hey RevvinKevin, if you ever have a wash-in, let me know! It's easier for me to get to Long Beach lol!

I kind of giggle that after we all come-out about the FIRST "big thing" many of us have in common, we are still generally FLOORED that we get to come-out again. It all happens when we realize there is a community for THIS "nasty little affliction" too!

Perhaps it's all about attractions to big bad powerful white black, brown and yellow agitators!

LOL
