A modern Wish List item found! Well... Half of it, anyway...

I will not part with mine. I bought the set shown in 2004 and not a single repair. My sister has a touch screen set in Tahoe that has also been trouble free. My first generation Neptunes are at my brothers house. That washer did have problems with the wax motor locks and control boards but is still going strong today.

I like how the water level is higher than many of the front loading washers today....

WOAH!

Andy, Andy, Andy - what a great find, and a dream machine to boot! The MAH3000 in my basement is very jealous right now ;-)

I've always wanted to try out the Tony Tool, but could never stomach the cost since I can't imagine doing a bearing job more than once or twice on these. Since the factory bearings are still good (crossing fingers) on the 3000, I hope to not need to change them out anytime soon.

I keep waiting to find a 7500 locally for next to nothing, but the ones I run across still seem to be in good enough of shape to warrant a decent asking price. The 1000 RPM spin is to die for, plus touch controls, easy diagnostics, a heater... (I'm pretty sure the 3000 is going to kill me now)!
