Also, make sure your image resolution is 1024X768 or below. Anything larger than that will not post.
My pictures are too big!
Westy, thanks for your tip, my camera takes pictures that are too big. I will have to do some photo editing before I can post pictures.
I went to the Goodwill and picked up the washer today. I pulled around back where the machine was and told the employes ther that I was picking up a washer. They replyed that they didn't sell them! Same as the day before. They only let me go and fetch it when I showed them the recipt and even that took some persuading. According to the information posted by Gansky1 this little washer weighs nearly 230 pounds! The employees at the Goodwill said it was against policy for them to assist in loading this monster into the truck! I only had 1 friend with me, and we are not strong people. Eventually a nice employee saw us struggling without success and helped us lift it into the truck. We were behind a semi at the time and were well hidden. I thanked him for the effort and tipped him a few bucks. First they didn't want to sell me the machines, then they officially refused to help me remove them from the property after I paid for them. I like supporting those in need and finding really good stuff for cheap, but after this experience, my opinion of Goodwill has been greatly diminished.
Upon examination, the lint filter appears to be rather crusty and is quite content to stay in the agitator. I think that with a bit of work I will be able to fix that. I did notice that there is a bit of oil or grease underneath the machine where the belts are. The grease/oil seems to be mostly around the transmission pulley. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I do have pictures, and I haven't tested the machine yet. Both belts are present and seem to be in ok shape.
I'll edit the photos and post as soon as my housemates come home and help me with it.
Fingers are crossed,
Dave

I don't know how it works with your program, but I use iPhoto and when I choose EXPORT from the drop-down menu file, I get this screen, which allows me to scale down the photo size without doing any editing. Maybe your program has a similar feature. Just a thought. Easier than editing, at any rate.
A little grease around the pulley isn't a problem.Lots of grease everywhere IS a problem.....

Firing up the A208?
My housemate is still re-sizing the photos, but I wanted to know what I should look for before plugging in the A208, connecting water, and giving it a test. I love the design of this machine compared to my Norgetag! I love how you can remove the fabric softener cup for cleaning of both the cup, and the inside of the agitator! The Norgetag has a perminantly affixed fabric softener dispenser and it shall forever be filled with gunk. I shudder to think of the inside of the agitator.
Thanks guys, I would be lost without your help,
