Another scary Bradford…

Had this Bradford offered to me, seems sketchy though. Person says it’s been in the yard for a year but still works (somehow). Despite that the tub is full of water as shown. I am thinking I should probably pass on it but I’m still somewhat intrigued by this one as the other results don’t show have as many options as this one appears to have.

That looks like the portable that GE offered. I would toot my horn for the passing lane.

this could be a GOOD sign - that it doesn't leak. Of course it is  full of water, it is out in the rain. Any water that lands on the lid will trickle in to the drum.

I believe these were made by Hitachi. (?)

you'd want the missing knobs to still be there.

The plastic  top may be brittle from UV exposure - it is a weak point of these machines.

They are not a fantastic performer, tend to tangle badly if even slightly over loaded.

Of value as a curiosity, not as a great washing machine.

I hope it is free...

Far as I am concerned, Grants Bradford appliances were junk. My in-laws gave me an Empress 18, but it leaked. Brother-in law tore into it and there was no way it could be fixed. Got a used Kenmore 80 in lovely coppertone that lasted for over 10 years .
