Have had a few of those washers apart, they used a different material for the motor coupling in those, almost like a fabric belt that you might see on an old baler, or snowmobile track

This is a very good deal. Can't get a Roper set for this price...

I picked up a few sets for our property management customers (future sales).

According to the Home Depot guy--this is "While Supplies Last" and ends NOV 17 rather than the 28th.

That's the washer and dryer I have, and I love them. I'll keep mine as long as I can before I buy any of the overengineered piece of junk front load washers and the overengineered matching dryer.

It's a very good deal, but too bad they're the tin foil version of a surprisingly sturdy design

The whole machines are just cheaper the last few years - lighter metal (more noise), chincy switches and timers etc. Obviously they are good enough, but they were a pretty astute machine for some years

OK so would it be safe to say the ROPER line with the "V" in the same placement in the model # will have the "good" old Transmission & "good" mechanical Water Level Switch ?
