Buyer Beware!
Eddie, you're a trouble maker! Who could pass this nice looking machine up? Certainly not any member of this group.
But as most of us already know here, there is just about absolutyely nothing out there any more on these venerable machines. If the machine in question is not holding water any longer, it can be something simple like a broken spring which would pull the drain valve lever up when the solenoid energizes to a worn drain o-ring, to something stuck in the valve keeping it open. Even if the solenoid is dead, they are easily replaced by aftermarket ones. Of course, if it is a drain valve itself, then there is no way of getting one except from someone's private stash.
If it was me, I would go after it but with a most likely gravity drain, and no drain pumps and reservoirs out there, it might have to be more of a conversation piece than a daily driver.Not that that would stop me! I can alway put it in the shower stall in the garage and let it drain right down into that drain! LOL
