Thats so fantastic
to find a low use machine. What condition it is in, but why is it so much quieter, are the belts different? And those consumer reports are hysterical, complaint- washer spins too long after cycle ends!! how many babushka's were standing over their machine at the end while fat baby was howling upstairs?? LOL!

Beautiful condition - truly amazing for the age. Look at that center-post and drive block, it was low use for sure. Wish my 54 had been that nice, what a find!

WOW, Does anyone know who was the last "White Goods" manufacture was to offer a machine in this catagory of home laundry?
Early players were ABC, Apex, Bendix, Blackstone, Easy, Frigidaire, GE , Launderall, Maytag, Kenmore/Whirlpool, Westinghouse and Thor. They were offering unique designs to efficently ease the burdensome weekly chore of laundry for the "moderne post-war family". Many names fell fast with mergers, some are still with us.

WOW Robert that is a great find, I had the matching electric dryer for years that came from Bob In Cleveland Oh. It now resides with Teds collection here in Md. I figured that we would never see the washer, but then again who would have ever thought that a pair of Westinghouse L&D 1000s would show up, it has certainly been a good year for appliance collecting.

Great find Robert. Another first for your collection. That bakelite agitator is stunning with its chrome cap. I love the unique look of the speckled porcelain tub too. It just makes it more special.
Enjoy, Patrick

Very unique styling with the SS top and the not-flush-with-the-top lid. I don't think I've ever seen a Speed Queen that's this old--or one with a speckled tub. Congratulations!

Do you think the Wizard is busy this morning
making a vid of the unique spray rinse operation. Spray rinses and overflows, rinsing fit for a Queen, a Speed Queen. Wonderful!
