So, going to check this beauty out this evening, seller advises that it's never been used...

Thoughts?

Anything I should be on the lookout for?

Dexter

I have a much older one from the late 40's early 50's. They are wonderful machines and you can do a ton of laundry quickly. I wash in one tub and rinse in another. One thing to be mindful of is to put a little bit of water in each tub and see if it will hold water without leaking out of the drains. To find a machine that has never been used is a true find.
Make sure you dry off the washer after you are finished each time, especially between the tubs on the flat surface, good place for rust to start. Have fun. Gary

Definitely a rare find - looks amazing! Gary, I don't recall you having one...did you get it recently, or am I getting forgetful?

So... Check it...

I honestly believe it's not ever been used. The hose has certainly deteriorated, and the rollers, well I haven't had a chance to have a look at them as yet...
Anyone able to give me an idea of how old this beauty is??

This makes two machines for me now, brand new, never been used... I'm truly stunned...

That is amazing. I could see that on a movie set it has so much style!

Steve, that machine is gorgeous! Wow, two unused mint-condition machines - you have scored big time!

Wish me the same in finding an almost mint Maytag Model 32WP!

I have to admit

I'm pretty stunned at these two finds...

I just couldn't pass this up. I will have lots of fun trying to get it into the basement - but it definitely needed to be saved from someone not appreciating it!

Both this and the 'Easy' are virtually flawless. (well apart from the power flex/cord on the Easy) and I'm really now not sure what to do with them!! LOL

I'm thinking a wash-in one day to break them both in????

My guess is around 1960.
