The seller is asking $50 and says it comes with the original manual. It appears to be in good condition. CLICK HERE TO GO TO retropia's LINK on Lincoln Craigslist |

You know that's wierd, that's MY A-50! in MY KITCHEN. That's the A-50 that I painted Bauhaus Gold. HAHA
Mine is not for sale, but it looks like the seller used my pic for his ad. It's odd when you recognize things like that! Where have I seen this pic before... Feel free to check out my other pics of the A50 though... :) CLICK HERE TO GO TO macboy91si's LINK |

In fact just last week saw a local auction on CL for a Miele set that used a member's picture.
Personally I'd *flag* the auction on CL if I caught them using my photographs. I mean if they are using "fake" pictures, then how does anyone buying the item know what they are getting? Also how lame is it not spend time and money taking pictures of something you want shifted. In this era when even cheap cell phones have a digital camera, or one can purchase a disposable unit from a drug store, there really isn't an excuse. Word to wise, in future one should watermark pictures posted in the group. While it may not prevent someone from lifting photographs, it will tell others whom the snap belongs. |

I probably won't flag it, but I definitely want our users to be aware that the photo is not the machine. This is the 2nd time that has happened to me personally though. There was an historic architectural review site using some pics I had on my PhotoBucket for a local mental hospital info piece. I never got a response when I tried contacting them. I was a bit peeved at that since I had to make so many arrangements to get inside for photos but at the same time it WAS a way to get my photos viewed.
I totally agree about the readiness of cameras. I forget that my phone has a camera on it often as I'm just not in that mindset. Also I would probably never buy something unless I was willing for the WORST case scenario on CL without a pic though -Tim |

My 1970 does this thumping. The pulleys rock on the roll pins, and the machine hasn't been used much. I don't think it even warrants repair aside from the sound. The 1980 A-50 I have with the gray impellers only slightly does this with a hevy load. I love these little machines. The 1970 was partially disassembled for some parts for the 1980 model since the 1980 model has barely been used and has the matching DE-50. Mine are white, I wish they were Harvest. If you do repair this, please let me know how you did it. :) Happy Porta-Washing
Also, just curious, which do you like better, the newer or older A-50? The new ones are built lighter than the older ones, I notice the newer ones vibrate a bit more than the boat anchor earlier ones. -Tim |
