I think any scrapper would recognize these as viable machines and would pursue selling them for more money than a recycler would give for them. If I knew someone who could get by with a standard tub single speed washer, I'd nab these. If they were closer, I'd at least have a look at the washer to see if it had the non-siphon valve drain hose set-up.
Here's a link for anyone who might be interested. The ad is still up as of this morning.
