I believe that's a DE700. $10! It looks to be in good shape too!

probably funny to say this, but I like the door handle - reminds of an old car..and alot less....expensive.

I have a DE700; it has worked well for me, but I swapped it out with a DE701, which is almost identical, except the 701 is electronic control.

DE701

Is it visibly different on the panels or do the electronic models have tell-tale differences from the outside. Here's a DE701 belonging to turquoisedude. To my untrained eye, the one above looks like a DE701.

I believe the one in the photo from turquoisedude's collection is a 700. The 701 doesn't have the 3 buttons to the right of the timer dial. Instead, there's a plastic plate that says electronic control. My understanding is that the 701 has sensors in the drum that the 700 doesn't have.

Phil, these are my two.  I don't have a close up shot of the control panel on the 701, but the main difference is the electronic control plate instead of the buttons, and the the timer dial is laid out differently.  There's also a 641C which is quite similar to the 700 if I'm not mistaken.

Ok, I must have misread Paul's caption. Thanks for the tip and I love that pink one!

Thanks Phil! The photo is a little older; the matching washer is sitting next to it now. Both machines are the best washer and dryer I've owned. They're quiet and the washer does a great job.

matching pink washer, too? nice. I know RevinKevin and others have multiple colors of these machines - not sure if they're exact in model numbers, but they seem to be classics that do a good job. I can't look at some of the collections people have here, it makes me dizzy.

I just have the one set and the DE700, which I may hold onto for parts, since they're similar. I sadly don't have space for more. I live vicariously through other folks collections!

there's a few

of us who are doing that (living Vicarously ...yes-yes-yes-yes)
