First up...
A 1964 A702. This orphan was a rescue from one of my favorite haunts: The Salvation Army 'As-Is' store. A... 'friend' called me when this showed up.

This will need a fair amount of work as the internals were, well..., butchered by the previous owner. The timed bleach injectuion system was completely removed and a ton of multicolored shaker can paint sprayed all around inside. Grrr... Some people... Also needs a lower transmission seal.

A nice skirted agitator. Hey, Dan! Look, it's an agitator that actually lifted out with ease... (Ducks and RUNS!)

Next up...
A nice 1958 142. I've been kinda following this one for a few years but the elderly customer loved it too much. Then she finally called me to come get it as it flooded her laundry room. Nearest that I can tell, a port that the drain hose connected to corroded and failed.
This one was a special find as QSD_DAN gave me the matching 641c dryer way back when since he'd thought that he'd never find the mate. Well...

Pretty much a clean machine. This has a AMP style small lid.

I wonder if the agitator was replaced at some point. This looks too new (it's a 213686 agitator...)and it's a black PowerFin!
Hey, Dan! Look, this one pulled out easily as well... (Oh, MAN! Now I'm going to have to run faster... LOL!)

Speaking of LG...
A LG Tromm WM0532HW. This was a pile rescue. It has the dreaded LE code. It's kinda interesting so I'll chance the $26 Hall Effect sensor and play with it before I decide if it gets kept or adopted out... Grit your teeth, Dan. Here's a pic... Hee hee hee!

It reminds me of my MAH7500 in a few ways. Once I fix it and clean it up, I'll shoot some pics and maybe video and post them in the correct forum.

This is the LG that I had in Houston, TX.I also had its matching electric dryer. I found the set at a thrift shop for $225. I sold the set (once my move was set) for $750.

I've been saving these for last...
I've always said that the best machines in a collection have a history or story behind them to bring them to life. These 608s were owned by my wife's parents. Purchased in 1979 in New Jersey, they have done a ginormous amount of laundry for a large family. 31 years of faithfull service while moving all over the country. They finally were retired last year in Eureka, CA. and sat covered on a back porch until they could come to me. SO, they will get a loving work over and brought to new condition. Sorry, but these will stay with me. Under pain of death. The wife will NOT be parting with these. Actually, she might part with me before she parts with them... LOL!
LA608 (Dec 1978) and LDE608 (Mar 1979)

What's missing from this picture...
Another small repair shop in a nearby town was closing and told me I could have a few machines. Three wringers (a Wards, Maytag and Kenmore) and a good condition AMP which just needed a pump. In anticipation, I managed to locate a NIB NOS pump for a steal. Then when I called to arrange to get them, the owner decided to inform me that they 'went elsewhere'. No apologies. No nothing! Oh well... There's the rest of the year to go...
