Pricey, but appears to be in immaculate condition.

LOVE the cycle indicator....

.....lights arranged in a circle like a conventional timer.
I've never seen that design before.
Very unique!
I'd love to see them "in action"!

Is that a flourescent light panel behind the buttons? This machine screams MCM space age design.

We had a white one.

It was our first, so I thought it was awesome.

Halloween and Christmas ;'D

First or last, it's still awesome, almost giddy. Gaudy, even but I love it anyway. If you zoom on the interior shots you can see staining on the filter and in the tub. The seller isn't fooling' around, but he's fooling himself if he thinks he'll get that much cash. The machine is very well used.

At first glance, it looks like a HUGE select-O- dial, which I'm just nuts for, but then you learn that it doesn't move but LIGHTS UP, and if you push the Cycle Changer bar --how cool is that?!--maybe it advances rapidly. Wouldn't that be a hoot. Suprised it doesn't have a RINSE/HOLD, but then then the Lady K washer of that vintage didn't have an Extra Rinse bar either.

Great find, 4bagger Ron, a real treat. This thread made my day. Thank You.

OH my my, the treats and eye candy just never stop.

Gosh, It's even better than imagined

If you read the text, it not only rapidly advances, but you can skip any portion or portions of the cycle by holding the CC button-down and watch the lights on the dial as they advance, and stopping wherever you want. HOLY COW. That is one unique and wildly exciting timer.

And the Light Cycle is really interesting too: It is a wash and two rinses, more like a pre-wash for "softening soil on utensils before Normal, or 150, etc."

Maybe I would pay the 700 some bucks now. HA HA, Kidding. Freely admit it would be tempting were it not for the added shipping costs, which would bring the total to, around a grand and a half.

The START slider is on the door latch/handle apparatus. Zoom and see.

I need a cigarette.

Yes, the lid has two push-down--one for lid release, other for "start".
