I would love to find a nice vintage washer and hopefully a matching electric dryer, and was wondering if anyone in the are awould have anything for sale?
Where are you located? I am in Regent Square. I have checked all the sources here that everyone recommends - Craigs list and used appliance stores. I want an 806 so what am going to do? Ship one from California...
Sometime end of last year beginning of this year a member named TrainGuy (I think I have that right) had some beautiful stuff for sale. Among others, he had a 906 set which was beautiful and if I hadn't just bought a washer I would have purchased this set.
I think that Estate Sales are probably our best bet here. I just don't have the flexibilty to get to them right now.
Good Luck and if you come up with a good source please let me know.
Actually, I am in the Washington area, and Trainguy, is very close to where I am, I wish I knew how to contact him, to see if he still had anything for sale
He had a bunch for sale....mabye we should all get together sometime and search....construction junction is where I got my Westy Program Computer dryer from....and Appliance Warehouse had a to die for Maytag A906 last year
I ALWAYS forget about that place. I usually just check the small appliance stores that are still in existance around here despite Lowes and Home Depot...These tend to have a selection of used appliances. Mostly Kenmore DD, but occassionally something much more vintage.
I should be back home the first part of May. Randy (variflexpghpa) has also been wanting to get the locals together. I'd be glad to open up the storage unit and you take whatever you want. There are some great pieces in there.
I can show you what I have at the house sometime, too. Randy and I will also take you to the Appliance Warehouse if you're interested. I haven't been there since last fall.
How I would LOVE the chance just to walk through that warehouse! Holy crap that is a LOT of machines (and I thought KenmoreGuy64 had a LOT of machines!) WOW!
wow you have enough washers there to run a used appliance washer shop dayum!!! wow a true collector i guess, i cant believe it im shocked beyond belief its like a used washer refuge did they run away from home or there abusers and come to you?
Since you are practically right over the hill from me I think it would be great to have a meet once you get back, and the appliance warehouse looks like a dream
