Stop appliance genocide

Where the devil does one FIND vintage washers and dryers? With the price of scrap metal, most of them I imagine went to the recycler, as I haven't seen one for sale in like.....ever.

The turquoise set were given to me by a friend. I do have other vintage washers and dryers from the 50's and 60's, that I've gotten on ebay or craigslist. You can still find them. Just need to look. There was, and maybe a set just like my turquoise set, even same color, on craigslist in Las Vegas.

I would think that by the time the scrapper population exploded, most of those who were going to toss away vintage appliances had already done so, so the scrappers are less likely to get those that remain. Seems that major appliances being advertised here as being up for grabs to scrappers are never more than a few years old.
