That's the problem I guess... where's Jackie when we need her? (Actually she's taking a well deserved retirement. She moved stuff for us 4 times and always did a great job).

No one knows any transporters working in the NorthEast?? Trying to put these in the hands of one of our members, a collector who's unable to travel for health reasons. But if we can't find a way to transport them... Anyone want a 1961 RCA Stereo and matching RCA color TV in gorgeous blonde...

Anyone know of a good reasonably priced transporter serving the NorthEast? Specifically Central NY to Montreal. Our venerable Jackie is now enjoying a well deserved retirement & when I spoke to her about a year ago she had plans to possibly return to Portugal. She always provided a great service...

Thanks John! We'll go with the Duet for now, then perhaps look for a lightly used SQ TL when the time comes, that makes a lot of sense as they do seem built to last more than other recent brands. This raises another question: back in the day (late '50s to late '60s) I don't recall thinking...

"Replace the washer later if you need too when you have more time to find something a little newer and better than the four you posted." What would be your candidates to look for John? I hate the white plastic panel crap you see in the last 15-20 years.

This is all great info, many thanks fellers! For now I'm inclined to very temporarily stick with the Duet as John says, they are decent and shouldn't be a hard fix, but it will eventually be replaced as preference is for a TL, as mentioned, and may pick up the one I like shown and stick in the...

The 2 Hobart Centerline d/ws that are in the kitchen of the hospice we work in do a complete cycle in about 5 minutes, coming out so hot from the sanitize cycle that they air dry almost instantly. Installed 2 yrs ago, priced at about $5K each at that time when I checked. They do have a...

So... we're buying a house in Denver, moving from Central NY. The Whirlpool Duet there is already having hot-water filling issues (cold is ok) and it's a good excuse to replace it as we, outliers that we are, still prefer a TL so it would have been replaced anyhow. The following 4 machines are...

Good to know thanks all, I assumed model/serial #s would tell the story but don't know what the codes mean. Anyhow we won't have possession until mid-Dec so finding #s will have to wait.

The washer definitely looks more well-used than the dryer. Is there a way to date them by serial or model #? If the washer craps out it'll be replaced by a Speed Queen if I have anything to say about it... SWMBO, you know.

Thanks! rp so what distinguishes the "Sport" model? (Don't see any racing stripes... lol) With the price of the long move, new furniture, painting/repairs, new kitchen cabinets (soon), we'll be living with these for quite a while. The BOL 2015 HP TL and 30 yr old WP dryer have been great I must...

#2 Sellers say they work ....

Heeeer's pix! Ideas on the approx age and any other relevant info? Thanks Bob... Guess we're stuck with 'em at this point, we put in an offer on the house today and it was accepted. Movin'to Colorado soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon... ooops, wrong state. When these go (hopefully not too...

Thanks cfz , the control area is white with a black rectangle on the r side over 3 buttons, not our house but will try to get pics of that and d/w and fridge on our next visit to look again. The latter 2 are new, 'tag d/w and FD fridge, top freezer, and new Whirlpool smooth surface elec range...

SO the retirement house we may be buying in Denver comes with a WP Duet front loader pair., located in the 2nd floor bedroom area. Any opinions, things to look out for, or known weaknesses? At this point I don't know model #s, how old they may be &c, nor what time period they were made. They...
