Inglis Washer and Dryer set - Sherbrooke, Québec

[turquoisedude]

It's a bit of a long shot, but I have been contacted by an acquaintance in Sherbrooke who will liquidating the estate of his uncle soon.  Among the items for sale are these - an Inglis washer and matching dryer.  I don't have a great deal of other information but they appear to be 1980s models, belt-drive and they are clean and in good working condition.  I will try to get more detailled pictures if I can and I'll be visiting with the seller tomorrow.  He's looking for a decent offer, but knows that interest in vintage washers in this neck of the woods is limited.  

(from the same estate is a set of Harvest Gold Maytags and I do believe I'm going to nab them!!)

Paul, what model are the harvest gold Maytags?

Sean, I am not sure.  Dryer looks like a DE306.  I'll tell you for sure when I pick them up....  

 

The Inglis set is still for sale - they are asking $150 (Canadian) for the set.  I haven't seen either set in person but per my friend who is helping clear out his uncle's estate, both sets of machines were used by an older couple and it seems that the Inglis set was used even less than the 'Tags.

Ahh. I’ll send you a message on messenger sometime next week since I am currently visiting family in Arizona at the moment. I don’t think either set will need much done to them other than various repairs, tune-ups etc.

Update:  I was at the house where these are located yesterday.  They were purchased from a local appliance store as part of a set of reconditioned sometime in the 1990s so that the former owner of the house could get a new refrigerator and range.   The washer and dryer have never been hooked up or used since that time and have been sitting in dry basement.  

 

If it's anything to go by, I bought a Maytag set from this house sale (A407 paired up with a DE407) and apart from over-scrubbed dials, the machines are in incredibly good condtion.
