Too Far Gone? Maytag Gray Ghost

[peterh770]

Very close to home. I just missed out on a Maytag NX "blue bell". Wouls this one be a consolation prize?

very heavy. approx 200-300lbs.

I can't imagine one of these weighing more than a Maytag automatic washer (about 230 pounds, depending on the model). Could be possible though....

I think the price is a smidgen high, considering its condition. Everybody's opinion about something being too far gone is very personal. In the classic car genre, I've seen some downright POS rust buckets with 1/2 the car missing brought back to showroom floor new condition, so.........

Pass on this...

Beacuse these are very available, at least here in MN. You need to come and get one. I paid $12 for mine, now it looks like this.

Nice wringer, Don, did it come with the helpers?

Just wondering how dangerous these washers were to use? With the exposed motor and splashing water and touching a metal tub, were electric shocks common on wash day?

Old MT washer shock hazard ?

Any older machine you may actually use should have a grounded cord installed or an axially ground wire used if you want to keep an original style cord on the machine.
