re: Electrolux or Speed Queen washer?

PS I'm not bragging, look up '1980s maytag' on craigslist and you can find the same deal all over the place.

here's the thing: THESE MOTHERfrickERS ARE LIKE TANKS so unless someone used one for target practice, you're gonna get a washer that might need a couple of $15 parts and last you decades.

look for a312 or a212 (same unit, a312 has a couple more settings on the wheel) for the washer

look for d612 on the dryer.

laugh all you want, i'm telling you these things are ALL OVER THE PLACE on craigslist and people have no idea what they have; they are giving them away for some fancy $1,500.00 front loader with a pokeman cartoon that dances on an LED screen while the washer is going.

my wife runs probably 5 loads a day through our because we have 6 people at our house and the damn things still run like they're brand new.

Lonely maytag repairman meant something back in the 1980s.
