Coppertone. Seller says the washer leaked once recently, from the right side. They got new wood flooring, so she's leery of it. Her usual repairman gave an estimate, but instead of fixing it first, she decided to drop the asking price by $50. $150 for the pair. She isn't "showing" them until Saturday and unfortunately several people are already in line for a look. Sge said they've always been kept indoors, so are in excellent condition. Wish me luck. |

If indeed they are A906's, offer more than the original asking price to get her attention. I wouldn't be too concerned about the small leak, it's probably easily found and repaired, many parts are still available. The 906 all pushbutton machines are the most rare and just imagine what they look like in coppertone!! |

It's a done deal, barring any natural disasters. I don't take possession until next week, after her replacement set arrives. Sorry, no pics of the interiors. The washer interior is in great shape, even the filter and dispenser cup are immaculate. Is there supposed to be a tub light? If so, it's burned out. Note -- pics are at the seller's house. |

Can't wait to see the insides. Simply load the machines, add detergent, softener and bleach and select and start the cycle with the touch of one button! Beautiful!! |

What nice machines. I'm sure you will really enjoy them. Be careful moving them so they don't get scratched or damaged. Don't tip the washer forward otherwise the inner tub will dent the front panel. (I learned that the hard way) |

Glenn, This is fantastic news! Congrats - another find of the year! It is hard to believe that they are coppertone, let alone a set of A906's. The tub light is probably burnt out - not a problem. Head to L*we's or Menards and pick up a 15w and a 25w 120v double pole bayonet bulbs. It calls out for a 10w, but I tried the 15 and the 25, and perfered the extra light of the 25w bulb in my A806. This is awesome! Ben |

I don't have a way to run the dryer in my garage, no 220V outlet. The washer can be run, with cold water (Tide Coldwater! ;-) ). However .... I'm pondering on whether to put the 'tags in the house for a while. I really don't wanna move out my DEGX1 'cause I like it too much, so maybe just the washer could come inside ... Carol and Barry, perhaps a visitation is on the horizon. And rest of the 'local' folk, too, of course. (Not likely anybody would make a long-distance run just to see a couple old 'tags, hehe.) |

WOOHOO!!!!! Glad they're home! I agree...I'd keep the DEGX1, but you definitely need to try the A906 for a while!! :) Time for us to head out to EC again...YAY! |

And I forgot to ask...does this particular machine have the rapid-advance timer and the "override" button? Inquiring minds want to know, before looking ;-) |
