Washer still has the original 8 finned agitator. Both units should have the incandescent timer light in addition to the florescent. Asking price is very modest.

Man I'd be jumping all over this washer right now if I was there...
Wow! And the dryer is gas! So tempting if they were close by.
I'm on it...
I'll keep you all posted when I know more.

Took a look today...
...and closed the deal. By tomorrow they'll be in my basement. Pics will follow then.
The owner used the washer as recently as a month ago and the dryer in January. He quit using the dryer because "it wouldn't ever shut off." First guess would be that the electrolytic capacitors in the sensing circuitry have drifted. They have obviously been used a lot but were extremely well taken care of. If you count the guy who's been in the house for 6 months, I will be the 3rd owner.

Congratulations!

"it wouldn't ever shut off."
First off, CONGRATULATIONS!
A Halo of Heat that will not shut off can have a problem that ranges from the simple to the nasty...
1) The little paperclip like link from the shut off solenoid to the control switch can be off or broken. (common)
2) Bad shutoff solenoid. (not likely)
3) The element can be grounded and won't cool down and let the cool down t-stat shut the motor off even though the control switch may have 'turned off' (common)
4) Bad cool down stat. (common)
5) Bad/broken control switch. (possible)
6) Bad electronic dry board. (uncommon)
7) Possible short across one of the sets of sensor bars in the drum (possible)
Do a little triage when they come home and let us know! Otherwise, that's a nice set!

Looks like someone didn't know this should be cleaned from time to time. Note original metal top ring.
