Anyone near Canton, OH that would be willing to save a set of Speed Queen machines for me?

Looking if someone is close that can get them and store them a few weeks for me till I can make arrangements to come get them.
 
Pending

Just check the guy never got back to me but the add is marked pending now.

Hopefully one of you guys get them since I cannot get out there. These have Ben my dream set for awhile now and the second set in 6 months that were writhing 3 hours of me that I have to pass on 😩

Anyway I hope they are going somewhere and not getting scrapped
 
I know that feeling when something is essentially bought out from underneath since there’s been various machines and cars too that have been bought out from underneath me, but I usually take it as a sign it wasn’t meant to be. There’s a reason why things don’t work out or come to fruition, I’ve been in search of a Maytag A806 set since 2017 and various 806’s did pop up for sale, but never ended up working out. Reason why they didn’t end up working out is it was a sign that particular set wasn’t meant to be, either the machine needed some work or the seller was asking an arm and a leg. There was once a Maytag A806 in coppertone set that Strictlybojack picked up, thought about picking it up myself but just had a bad feeling about that particular set. Turns out, the dryer had a burned out heating element, and needed quite a bit of work despite it being in good cosmetic condition.

Some more time goes by, then get a message from a friend about a Maytag DE306 in Costa Mesa (not far from Long Beach in California), arranged a time to pick it up. Wasn’t a TOL Maytag but figured I’d pick it up since it was a Maytag HOH.

3.10 years go by, was having a conversation with Anthony/waterwitch, mentioned he had a Maytag A806 that was no longer needed, arranged a time in June of 2022 and the rest is history as they say.

I now had a Maytag A806, but didn’t have a match to it quite yet. Then I figured a 806/808 console could easily be mounted to the DE306 cabinet. Was searching for a Maytag 808 console for awhile, but didn’t have any luck finding one on here. Then, got a message from someone in a Facebook group “hey, I think I have what you are looking for”. Sure enough, was the 808 console I’ve been in search of, arranged shipping not long after that. Fast forward a couple of years, arrived at my front door step.

Got to work wiring and hooking things up, working out bugs along the way. A week later, had a Maytag A806 set. Took 6 years, but was well worth the wait.

To quote qsd-dan: “Patience and persistence goes a long way when finding these machines, never in my wildest dreams would I think I would own a Maytag 906 set”. Not the exact exact quote, but is as close to what I remember him saying in a YouTube comment over 5 to 6 years ago.
