I am wondering if the inside is a corroded out water filled MESS!!!Maybe that is why you don't see a money shot!!NO old machine is worth $500 to me esp in that condition-just dragged out of the woods or the barn.This and vacuum collecting USED to be a low cost fun hobby-but now the greed is taking over-at that stage--NO THANKS esp if folks are offering 500 bucks for a dirty,unrestored possibly corroded out old washer!See this same thin on the vacuum forum-some folks offering that much for a dirty,corroded,missing its bag and attachments Kirby vacuum.Those sorts used to be FREE!!!Than it was kinda fun seeing what you got and fixin' it up.
