Holy Grail Washer in Great Shape - For Sale

[edz]

Size

tsteves5,
The dimensions of the washer are (approx):
27 inches wide
26 1/2 inches deep, plus there's a hose on the back. The hose can be removed, but the hose fitting extends outward an additional inch or so.
Height: The front of the washer is approx 36 inches high to the deck where the lid is. The back has the controls which extend upward about 9 additional inches, so the total height for the back is about 45 inches.

You didn't ask about weight, but for those interested in shipping, I'm sure that's a factor. I don't know the weight, but can vouch that this very well built washer ain't light!

Would anyone in the club have an approximate weight for this?

I played with the controls when the washer was on the floor at the Memco store near me in Annandale, VA way back when.

Love the fabric dispenser in the modified pessary position.

While the washer is very cool with the buttons, the dryer really has me hooked! What a stunner!!!

Peter

why does the dryer have you more hooked than the washer??

in love

OMG I am in love with this washer....wish I were closer!!

 

[joelippard]

I also,

Wish I were closer.  I hope someone in the club saves this.  Who is after it??

 

[toploader55]

I would have thought

Someone here would have got this set home and had it hooked up and running by now.

Wish I had the room.

 

[joefuss1984]

if someone close can buy it and let me work out a deal with them.....

Price

Was there a price in mind for this classic?

A price!

The Thursday deadline rolled round with 3 nice offers, none local.... and all fell through for various reasons. Shipping was an issue for one, personal matters for another.... So let me just put a price on it of only $100! I'm moving and this has got to go. Either to a collector or the scrap heap, it has got to be gone this week! I'd much rather see it in the hands of a collector. Oh, after the initial offers fell through, I sold the fabric softener dispenser separately, so only the washer is for sale now. It's a gem - will anyone save it?

 

[joelippard]

Alright Guys

Who is going to save this?  For all these years we have been hearing about this Elite series 1-18 with only one other one known to exist.  I have heard many people here lately looking about for them and here is a chance for the best of the lot.  Even better this guy is selling it at a very attractive price.  Please don't let it go to the dump!

 

[swestoyz]

Ugh, someone better give me one good reason why I shouldn't save this washer!

[joelippard]

Sorry Ben, there aren't any good reasons    The only reason it's not here in my basement now is that it's so far away from me.  I'm really out of room but for this machine I would pass along something to another club member.

 

[swestoyz]

Lol, message sent to the seller.

 

[macboy91si]

Awww Come on....

Ben! Ben! Ben!

You know you want it...

Denver just isn't in the cards for me anytime soon either...

The AW folks/cavalry are arriving!

This is the seller again. I've had 4 calls or emails since my last post. Hopefully one of these will work out. Your organization is pulling together - pretty impressive!

One fellow is hoping to drive out here and pick it up before the last day on my lease is over (Saturday). That would be optimal. Other offers are on hold until I hear from him tonight to see if he can pull that plan together.

Thank you all!

The washer's new home is Omaha!

The washer was picked up today by someone who appreciates vintage washers - hurrah! It's new home is Omaha, Nebraska.
I finally got to see the bottom and insides of the washer - no rust there either - what a find!
Thank you every one who was involved in this rescue operation.
As for me, my new home has a non-vintage Maytag and I am happy as well,

Non-believer, but an appreciator.
