Thanks for taking a look, wish you were closer. It is helpful to know that this is worth finding a home for though! |

I've been looking for one like this for a while...although you are "only" 3 hours away (I'm just over the Buffalo border) I am now of an age where lifting and hauling has become troublesome...
Good Luck, I am sure that someone can rescue this for you! Thank you for taking the time to list it here! Guy |

Just updating, unfortunately @thedrycleaner won't be able to take the washer, so it is still available. |

I bought this sears Kenmore portable washer a couple months back. It hadn't been used in years but I guess it was stored in a warm dry cellar. Upon getting the washer I gave it a try. It went through the washing cycle good but when it came time to rinse the dial would not advance.I played around for a while with it so i'm guessing it needs a timer nothing I tried made it work. The next thing it began doing was the water inlet valve was not closing so water was continuous running into the machine.Now the clencher. I think the transmission locked up and none of the pulleys will move.I even gave the motor a few tries and I think it's burnt out because all is does in hum.I added oil to the transmission and that didn't seem to make a difference. I know there's a lot wrong with the machine but I really think with time it could be fixed. I'm up for doing it but I have no place where I can take it a part and to be able to take pieces out and let them set while I work on things.Its a really cool piece and i'd love to see someone fixer her up. I'm not asking anything for the machine i'm happy to let it go to a good home. I hope someone out there can rescue it. I'm going to leave the posting up for a few weeks and if i don't get any responses i'll have to scrap it. I don't want to but I can't have something setting there as a conversation piece. Again it's the room issue. Anyone interested let me know. Thanks Dj
