So, go get it Dan!
These really aren't my cup of tea. I had a TOL WCI-63 and played with a Rollermatic and 1-18. I get way too dirty for a solid tub washer, especially without a lint filter. Then there's pet hair.
However, in the 20+ years I've been on here, loads of users constantly gushed like hell about Unimatic washers. Even now, they're still on lots of "Dream machines to be found" lists under many profiles.
I guess it's like politicians, all talk and no action.
If it were closer, I would squirrel it away for somebody else, even if I really don't care to own one. It's not like these washers are getting any easier to find. It may be expensive to ship but how many future chances are there to acquire one?
