Those look like they're from the late-80's and are definitely keepers...ANY electronic control machine is cool in my book!! Can we get an interior shot? |

Keep the panels and good parts you can use and chuck the rest. I see these "Marathon" machines constantly around here, my neighbor had one that was from the very early 80's in the house when they bought it, barely used and they pushed it aside to use their own Speed Queen of a newer, early 90's style. I briefly entertained the notion of keeping it for posterity, but it was a fleeting thought. Stan Kann in St. Louis has this same set in his house - with the same top-rot at the corners of the washer lid. Disappointing for a realatively well-built washer... |

I took your advice,pulled the consoles and wiring,and the rest went to meet their maker. The washer had been leaking for some time,very rusty underneath. I found the original receipt in the tub with the manuals.This washer was purchased for over $1000.00 in 1987! Dryer was around $500.00. Talk about TOL!! |
