Great find Richard, your luck sure seems to be in at the moment!
Was the old girl still plugged into the mains too?
At least you know the fill valves don't leak!
At the expense of being a bit Heath Robinson, I wonder if you could get away with putting some board across the chassis at the bottom, with some bricks or breeze block type things on top to weigh it down enough - although don't they weigh a ton anyway? I guess if it were run empty but for water there wouldn't be much of an issue with imbalance during spin.
Hope she scrubs up nice, she looks a bit like she's overdone the fake tan at the moment!
