Man, we have had this Samsung front loading dryer for what, 3.. 4 years maybe? In that time, had to replace that crap heater element 3 times..

Now dreading having to pull it out yet again (wedged in a side room off an interior hallway), out into the kitchen because THIS time it's the dang cheap plastic drum bearings and idler gone bad. Well.. 30 here.. 40 there.. beats the crap out of 100's for a new one.

Okay, I am officially "not crazy" no matter what the warden says.

I'll restore ONE for use, but do you sell them for huge profit? Use them for rentals to period films?
Well I'm more at planning to open a museum.
I know most of the potential French buyers, some of them could spend $1000 on a new super high tech Chinese made machine that will break in a few years but those won't take a free working 50 years old machine because of a tiny rust spot...
There's almost no demand for rentals and they usually wants a more than new look, but I prefer to focus on sourcing old parts and technical solutions to make the machines working again and safely, bright paint is the last thing to do.
