but we went down and picked up a new Speedqueen today. Yes, we feel a bit of guilt for not pursuing the repair option but did it anyway. It's their base model and doesn't have many bells and whistles. Somehow I don't think we will see the same 34 years of service out of this one but it could be the last one we ever buy.

Sounds like you're a function before form kind of person yourself. I've been an adherent of the KISS principle forever but have departed from that with this purchase. Time will tell whether we made a wise choice.
