It is with a heavy heart, and no more space, that I am putting my avocado 1-18 washer and electric dryer up for sale. They do work, but the dryer drum has some rust speckling & the agitator cone needs a cone replaced as it was chipped. I would like to see $140 or best offer for them. I want to move them as quickly as possible, so the person who get them off my hands as quick as possible takes them. (I would need them gone before May 2nd.)

The only picture I have of them is the picture Martin (Yogitunes) took when he owned them. If you would like any other pictures, let me know, but I will try to take pics of the interiors to post later.

Thanks for looking!

Sorry about the pics not being upright. Again, best offer takes them. I would like to see them go to a good home of course, and a quick pickup would be great. Don't be shy. :-)

Thank you and Matt for your hospitality yesterday! Was great to meet and spend time with you and your machines. Now to get these out of the van and into the basement! Look forward to seeing you again sometime.

Out of the van...

Glad to see you and the machines made it home! Thank you for quite an enjoyable day as well. It is so great to meet new members, especially when they are as kind as you. So lets see, I got to have good company and got my laundry done too :-)

Did I pass on the Calypso bug? Martin will be so proud of me lol.

I think you turned me on to a new washer moving vehicle. Matt will never forgive you lol.

Bitten

Yes, I have been bitten by the bug!

Have always been interested in the mechanics of these machines. The videos don't do it justice. Hands-on is a much more interesting experience.

Martin, I think I will have to add a similar lid switch bypass to my Maytag. It's no longer under warranty. It's a load sensing model and doesn't like to be disturbed after the cycle is started. If you open the lid it will then automatically fill up with water. I've gotten used to it now since I replaced the solid lid with a window lid, but it would be nice to be able to open it while it's running.

Those switches are easy as ever......and for most machines, its a click away from the lod open, back to using it as designed......especially for ones that incorporate the "out of balance" into the lid switch...
