We bought an older coin-op Speed Queen set from an apartment complex when they were replacing their fleet for app controlled new ones. Best decision we ever made. Just wired a switch in for the coin trigger. Extremely reliable and seems easy to repair - haven't had to in the 5 years we've had them.

We had that for awhile, until finally the motor gave out and it was "easier" for me to buy a new Speed Queen set than fix the old (and the wife wanted an upright anyway instead of the front-loader).

The whole fun was using the coins! I even bothered looking up how to reset the cost so it was only a dollar, too many coins was annoying.
