very heavy. approx 200-300lbs.

I can't imagine one of these weighing more than a Maytag automatic washer (about 230 pounds, depending on the model). Could be possible though....

I think the price is a smidgen high, considering its condition. Everybody's opinion about something being too far gone is very personal. In the classic car genre, I've seen some downright POS rust buckets with 1/2 the car missing brought back to showroom floor new condition, so.........

Beacuse these are very available, at least here in MN. You need to come and get one. I paid $12 for mine, now it looks like this.

Just wondering how dangerous these washers were to use? With the exposed motor and splashing water and touching a metal tub, were electric shocks common on wash day?

Any older machine you may actually use should have a grounded cord installed or an axially ground wire used if you want to keep an original style cord on the machine.
