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.

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
