Going to look at them tonight. Looking at the hose in the tub the washer appears to be a suds-saver. This is the washer of my childhood. I'm still a little twitchy with excitement....

I saw these and thought someone would be interested! Hope it works out, Mark!
Well would you look at that! Can't wait to hear how the visit goes!

Someone resurrected my beat friend's parents' washer & dryer!!!!!! (Awww, 'cept I asked if the washer had a Suds Saver & he didn't know what it was, but father, more smart & knowledgeable 'bout EVERYTHING, said "No!"; the thing just drained to a stand pipe in back...)
It looks just like it!

Saw these this morning in Ted's thread on top as soon as I got up. We should get used to double-threading for miracles like this.
The whole bit is just too insane: the classic little old lady, they're pure mint, Mark's going to get a childhood dream, Mark always sends out good vibes, his Karma throbbing; the machines are FIFTY BUCKS for the BOTH, and I spied that hose immediately hoping the not visible end goes all the way down the tub.
What a way to start the day!
Isn't this also the infamous set of Jason's practical joke when he "installed" a Kelvinator agitator in his, and they were christened "Radio Consoles" ?

GOOD LUCK getting these, especially if they are your childhood machines!!!
If you'd rather have an electric dryer, I have one, its even Avocado.

Actually, it was only the washer that we had when I was a kid. The dryer was an 1967ish Kenmore 70. The dryer had been purchased when the laundry was still being done in a Maytag wringer. My mother used her severance pay when she left her office job right before I was born to buy the automatic washer. She was going to have NO part of washing cloth diapers in a wringer!
For right now, I prefer to have the gas dryer since electricity is rather limited where I live.

I went and looked at them tonight and they are in generally good condition. I paid for them and will pick them up either on Thursday or Friday. Picture-wise, there really wasn't much to take a pic of that wasn't already in the ad. That and the light was so bad down there that you could hardly see! I can tell already that the diaphram on the suds valve is toast. The tub looks to be in decent but not "shiny new" condition. This and 20 other projects should keep me busy for a while. Does that mean I officially have the "disease"?

Yes we refer to it as "the sickness" and so many of us enjoy it as well lol.
Congrats Mark, I'm thrilled they are going to a good home!

But as a preview...I did take the original literature. I seem to have a knack for finding appliances with "provenance".

Yeah!
I am glad you have your childhood washer, very unusual design and they don't come up often!
