After a few days "dating" with the pictures on OfferUp, tonight Darry and I finally drove to glendale to pick up this little beauty. It works, it has some leaks and a complex drain system. Wash action impressed a lot, capacity isn't horrible as I thought. What else can you guys tell me about this washer? |

You can buy a new modern one for less $ that it probably costs to fill the gas tank on your vehicle and that includes shipping to your home.
I bought one back in April 2020 for $104 as covid hit. It was fun but it did not have a built in pump so it had to be either set up on something so water could run into a drain or let the hose down into a bucket. I think one can also buy the new ones WITH a pump.
Does yours have a pump?
It's incredible the antique things out in the world still in perfectly good condition. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradfordwhite's LINK on eBay

Lots of information is contained in archives.
IIRC these twin tubs were made by Hitachi. www.automaticwasher.org/c... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... |

I forgot to mention... yes, it's CUTE. It's tiny like a Maytag A50 and it's so adorable. |

No idea, the power cord was original, 2 prong... it had a separate ground cord. I'd love to know the year my machine is. |
