"Gordon, you know that one has your name written all over it. "
Well gents, I love the comments,

thanks, and I couldn't agree more. I love the blue basket, LOVE it, and I have always admired this model, or the more typical 400, which I've reviewed numerous times in the 1969 catalogs.
I'm pretty sure this would reveal itself to be a 1969 model, however the more typical 400 model throughout the 1960s was a single cycle, single speed model, the 1969 cataog model being no exception. It otherwise looked identical to this machine. This must be the 410-setup model. There is something about the gold agitator and the blue basket that I think is striking.
Well, I contacted the seller yesterday (after trying to ignore it, really I did!) and he replied that the machine was available and in his backyard under a tarp. Two hours later I got another e-mail stating that it didn't run when he went to test it. I have written back, and called his number saying "I am not skeered of it if it doesn't work and I still would like it" but we'll see.'
This is a lightly used machine, for sure. The top and lid are NOT porcelain, so if they've not turned all to red-rust by now, the machine has seen light use.
So, cross your fingers.
Gordon
