Take a loss on the German machines, and keep the Speed Queens, I think you will regret it otherwise! Mike | ||

![]() Malcolm, You do realize that even with your 'buy-it-now' price, if someone bids $650 they could get them...
John's comment about getting them for $1000 is made even better if they could be bought for $650! If I'd known you were considering moving them on a year ago, I could have worked out a deal with you instead of putting up with Castleberry's.
They sure are purdy!

Malcolm, these are very nice machines. Why did you decide to replace them? | ||

![]() Yes, the water level was raised. But was lowered back to a close factory setting prior to the machines being listed on eBay. I pulled the ad and decided to sit on them for a couple of months. At which time, I will either put the SQ's back into service and sell the Miele's or relist the SQ's on eBay.

Malcolm: It was probably a good call to pull your ebay ad until you're certain which pair you want to keep. That is one damn handsome SQ set! Like you, I don't keep washers for their maximum life span. Some new machine captures my attention and away we go. Kept the 2002 Frigidaire front-loader for 8 years, which is by far the longest a machine has lasted in my laundry room. Dishwashers and washing machines: my kryptonite, LOL.

Sounds like we were cut from the same cloth. Dishwashers, laundry, and cars. If i had to chose a single piece for the rest of my life, I couldn't do it. Gave up trying to collect vintage. That takes an enormous amount of time and effort. While vintage will always hold a soft spot, I prefer to look forward. So many new things coming. Many will flop, but some will be successful.
The Speed Queens are a simple yet elegant design that are rugged enough to handle substantial abuse and keep on chugging along. Every once in a while, I get the itch to return to a top loader. I like the control over each aspect of usage. I need a stronger support group to help talk me down off the purchase ledge... Malcolm | ||
