Last christmas, I bought my parents a speed queen TC5000 series as a gift. Just about a year later, it's still working perfectly
You bought them the very BEST washer that is being manufactured! Good job!!
Fantastic washer, you're blessed!
You didn’t even need to take a bath if had one of these in your laundry room. You could practically take a shower while it washes your clothes.
All you had to do is start it up, put your soap in, put your clothes in, and stand right in front of it.
You and your clothes are done at the same time.
These old Speed Queens were some of the splashiest washers around back then.
My great grandmother had one of these after her 1960’s Philco conked out.

This is awesome, they now try to do this with 2 inches of water and no agitator.
Long pause between wash/rinse and spin. So much for speed...😀
Such a quality item. Very nice. Chuck Connors touted Speed Queen machines for their TOUGH stainless steel tubs and transmissions in the US around that time.
Yes the reversing motor era.
Without the solenoid mode shifter they lost their shift modes on the fly. So yeah it was a bit slower in that regard.
Not only are they serious workhorses, they are beautiful! I sure wish appliances still came in colors!
They are absolute gems. I couldn't believe how good their condition was when I found them. Collecting these old beauties is lots of fun!
@@canadianwashercollector3095 What a great hobby!
Very nostalgic! Excellent machine..👍
These were great washers and did a fantastic job!!! they are just like the one's that I use to have when I ran the laundromat back in the 70's only in coin op style!!!
Yeah I’ve seen one of these similar washers in a laundromat once
Wow, what a beautiful set! I wish they still made laundry appliances in colors like this.
Great video, thanks for posting! :D
Believe me so do I! Thanks for watching. 🙂
Beautiful washer.
Those where some of the best & very well built & made to last
Great video great washers I love old washing machines and dryers
Nice wash action!
Laundromats were full of washers like this back in 1976.
C'est formidable. early washers were so wonderfyl and beautiful with their incredible colours ! Speed Queen washers were the best. Now, I'm afraid only TC5 is OK
The turnover in the Speed Queen TC3 (such as the one that Sharkie626 has) is a little bit better than the TC5 because the TC3’s tubs are stationary as opposed to the tubs of the TC5 or TRC or whatever these 2019-current Speed Queen top loaders are called as those wash similarly to the Frigidaire Gallery top loaders from circa 2006
Those were some awesome washers. They had one tiny flaw. If you had poor water pressure, they didn't with enough water.

Strange how some of these older models like speed queen or kitchen aid drain so much faster than today's modern machines
Awesome ELO intro !
they are still built like tanks. I have a front loader and it is fantastic
These were strong workhorse washers definitely commercial grade.
They were commercial washers no grade to it!
Solid-built SQ washer there! Gosh..... you could stand there & take a shower, with all that water SPLASHING-OUT everywhere! lol.....
My Mom had one. It couldn't spin without getting off balance, then it would walk forward about two feet. She only put up with for about two years before getting rid of it.
So leveling it was out of the question?
@@Channel-cm7yc There was something wrong with the way the tub was mounted and they could never seem to figure out how to fix it.
@@roadtripboy hmmm was the balancing block still on it??
@@Channel-cm7yc No idea it was a long time ago.
I'm Sitting Here Watching And Asking Myself "Why Is That Damn Screwdriver There"? And Then I Get It!
What's the advantage solid, non perforated tubs? Less expensive to produce?🤔
I believe that would be a factor yes. If I remember correctly solid tub Speed Queen washers were marketed for their durability compared to other washers of the time.
I could see why you kept the camera back. These were very splashy machines.
Yes but it was a thing of beauty to watch.
Can't beat these older automatic washers. Today's machines should be made that way. I know unfortunately the almighty dollar matters these days. Corporate greed at its finest.
I notice on the lid instructions the list of colors red/rouge, yellow/jaune, and green/vert. What do they refer to?
They refer to indicator lights that would’ve been installed on commercial Speed Queen washers to indicate whether it was operating and safe to put your hands in the tub…red meant it was in operation and the lid should be kept closed, yellow meant it was rinsing and was time to add fabric softener, and green meant the machine was done or not in use and safe to unload or load your laundry.
This washer is quite
I don't see a water level setting. Did I miss it somehow? Thanks.
On this machine they’re are water level increments that you turn to for different water levels depending on which cycle cycles you pick (I.E. Normal or Permanent Press)
The two knobs are for agitation speeds, (Normal/Fast for regular fabrics and Gentle/Slow for delicate fabrics) and water temperature. Hope this helps.
The water level selection on this washer was built into the timer.... believe it or not.
Timed fill.
Do you have any extras to sell?
Quality washer, why? Because Yes.
