Interesting home-brew wash tubs on eBay

I would not spend more than 50 bucks for that! Is simply rough and nonsense.....they just looks round tubs, one with no knowledge about like "us" couldn't even tell it was a wringer washer.. again, it just looks a round tub...and the base is pitiful.
It might be nicer if it were a double tub Philco/Dexter that couldn't be fixed, you could keep the whole body with controls and levers and remove the agi/transmission etc, and remove the casters... and it would make a good look in one of those "forced/ fake" vintage style laundry rooms, they make beds and sofas from classic cars bodies etc ... .you can make the same with one of wringer washer and turn to a wash tub/sink, and you don't need many works ahead also ....but again, I'd prefer to have it whole and functional! And one of the classic wash tubs! That is real vintage! :D
There were a couple VGC Philco double tubs WW on sale on ebay for awhile, seems like sold now, they were less than what they ask for this tub..... If I ever discover this person used tubs from functional or repairable machines I gonna go there and choke him! LOL

Checkrate/Likes Here's an interesting set of wash tubs apparently made from round tub ringer washers. Perhaps somebody here knows if this is an authentic home-brew or if the manufacturer issued these from their imperfect tubs. The frame and legs looks pretty sophisticated for a home operation of the period. The price is, as always, a killer. BTW, whose tubs are these? I know somebody will know at a glance. Has anybody seen one of these before? CLICK HERE TO GO TO scoots's LINK on eBay Photos... < > Photo 1 of 4 View Full Size This post was last edited 10/07/2014 at 23:24

Checkrate/Likes For that price--you could buy a washer instead of just the "tubs"!Can't see spending 437 bucks on a pair of washer drums on a metal stand.

Checkrate/Likes The strangest components of that setup are the covers for the tubs. The rinse tubs do not need to be covered and, indeed, cannot be covered while in use.
