I thought the belt-drives had the indent in the front-top of the cabinet? Plus I am used the the vertical water temp buttons vs the dial.

No pics... You won't see any pics either in the thread as the disclaimer on the page asks that the POD does not get posed in forums. Never feel out of the loop, we are one big happy family! :-)

Sad, but true Greed seems to run rampant these days. It's a shame cause it is so close to be but they would be lucky I give them $100 for it. I would like to know where they get their numbers from. Happy Belated to your grandmother. A lot of birthdays this weekend. Mine tomorrow.

I have one too and I can attest that it is a great machine. I've packed it very full on more than one occasion and it has never let me down. I use the low energy cycle and everything comes out nice and clean.

Converting to electronic ignition was one of my top priorities after de-rusting the cabinet. What would anyone recommend for the cabinet and drum? I was thinking of the rust-oleum rust converter product for the cabinet after sanding out the rust, but considering the drum is exposed to such...

Story behind the set The gentleman I purchased them from had just moved into a house which stood in the 60's and apparently never moved forward. He had been doing a lot of renovations and was not interested in the set in the least. He is keeping a few of the vintage items of the house such as...
