I contacted about these

I'll call them in the morning. Curse you Cricket, I am supposed to be getting rid of things.


So pretty though

If they're unused, they're worth the asking price.

Someone needs to grab these.

Phenomenal and stunning!

In the Attic ?

The Attic ?

Seems strange that these beastly heavy machines would end up in the attic.

None the less, Beautiful and I hope some one here saves them.

I discovered that the dryer is almost as heavy as the washer.  One additional word.   If you pick them up in a pickup truck with a "slotted bedliner"  you need to have plywood the size of each machine. or the round plastic furniture "sliders".   On ours the rubber feet had deteriorated, so it was mostly only the bolt part remaining.  These "bolts" did not harm our bedliner. but after driving,  the bolt were extremely stuck in the tracks of the bed liner.  I still need that style top for the one I destroyed if anyone has parted out a washer dryer I need that exact top. Please contact me through washer mail I would be glad to pay for the part and the shipping Is the glass in the dryer door  decorative in the one pictured above,  mine is, you cannot see in my  dryer?   Thanks  alr.

Caveat emptor!  The door boot of the washer looks to be in shreds and those are not easy to find...

I spoke to the seller.  This pair is coming to St. Louis soon.

 

I already had the same pair, but in rougher shape.  It will be nice to work with a set that's new!

 

So, is it bad that I want to use them?

Travis, you should use them!  I bet they're wonderful machines!  Also, congrats!

Got them today

They arrived this morning!  They look great.  I haven't been inside the washer yet, but they look new.  I removed part of the torn boot.  There's no sign of rust around the edge.

A few years ago wasn't there a member here who was going to make replacement boots for these machines? Whatever happened with that?

Replacement boots

I remember that being mentioned.  For whatever reason, it never happened.

Another idea posted here.....

Does anyone have an intact boot to photograph or send to these people?
