Wow, a late-80s Medallion 850 - this is the same washer I bought my father back in 1987 or 88 when the '73 Viking finally threw in the towel. This one does look as if it has seen some rough treatment - the Filter-Flo pan might not be too hard to find. I'm not sure how easy it would be to find a bleach dispenser - a more modern part might fit. I can't for the life of me remember if the Medallion 850 still had a mini-basket... If my father was happy with it, it probably did! LOL |

Hi pierreandreply4. This is nearly identical to my daily driver, except it has the 2nd rinse option where mine does not. Also, my water temperature selection is done with a rotary knob, where this one has buttons. My tub is also a gray color instead of white. I'm pretty sure I have a spare filter-flo pan and even a bleach dispenser that would fit your washer, and I'm close by so it wouldn't cost much to ship to you. Let me know if you are interested.
Here's a link to an older thread with pictures of my machine... it is an Encore model. CLICK HERE TO GO TO barcoboy's LINK |

Hi Pierre, unfortunately, there is no way to tell the shape of this machine from looking at it. It could be rusted through, the transmission could be leaking, there are a million things here. I see rust on the top of the inner-tub for one, and below the control panel. This indicates to me that the underside of that top may be less than desirable. Rust was a prominent issue on these machines, particularly the later variants with thinner steel and thinner porcelain coatings. Also if it's been retired to a room or storage there may have been a reason for that.
I would not pursue it but that's me and those are my reasons above. Tim |
