I saw a very similar model at Salvation Army yesterday, nice condition and very clean...$65. I always check the back panel for signs of oil leaks - a common problem with these era machines. The good thing is, the tranny is fairly easy to replace and inexpensive for a good washer. (There was also a Duet (blue trim) for $150 and several other SQ, WCI, Etc. ) | ||

I looked at a filter flo at a local thrift store last weekend too! It appeared to be a 60S low end and had a V and #14 on the control panel. I passed it up, I would love to find one with lights! | ||

Wow Don, a V-14, I would have picked it up even if it was BOL! Seeing ANY 1960's washer down here in Texas takes a miracle! | ||

Greg!!! Did you grab the Duet? Hey Greg, That is wild that you found a Duet at a thrift store for $150. Did you grab it? Could you see anything wrong with it from looking at it? Brent | ||

Duet at thrift store As expensive as those thngs are new, you could spend quite a bit of money fixing it and still come out ahead, especially if you fix it yourself. | ||

The Duet looked used, but in reasonably good condition. Being one of the early models, it had the door-window sprayer (discontinued last fall I believe) that left quite a white film of hard water deposits. I didn't bring it home as I already have one and from my experience, not having the matching dryer and being a front-loader takes a little more effort to sell and the profit margin just isn't good enough for that initial investment of $150. I think the average "used appliance shopper" doesn't want to spend upwards of $300 on a washer. When they start showing up behind the stores, the time/parts/profit ratio will be a lot better.
