Morning Fenn and a welcome from me to the AW club, great finds you have there, as with many old New In Box items its always worth checking a few things out before plugging in , am not sure if these would benefit for water in the sump pump before switching on so let the US guys who have them advise.
I would check it outdoors for hose leaks , as much as they are new we have found NIB vintage to have as crusty broken pipes over time as a vintage used model. Check the usual wiring and the plug etc and then see how it goes , looking forward to see your next steps !! Cheers, Mike |

Just hook them up and enjoy nothing needs to be done.
Even if these machines had sat for over 30 or 40 years, they would probably still be good, modern materials are so good you don’t get the deterioration you go out with older machines when they sat for a long time. And report back on how you like them. John. |
