What did you BUY today?

High end Samsung frontloading washer part called a spider bracket (flange shaft assembly). I bought a nice used Samsung dryer with steam for $150 last month. It ran fine, but I gave it a refresh anyway (rollers, belt, tensioner pulley), and cleaned it up inside and out. Like new.

The guy was only selling it because the companion washer was not working, and he bought a matched washer/dryer pair. So he gave me the washer too, for free. It turned out to be needing a drain pump ($20), but I pulled it apart and the flange shaft had cracks. It also runs great- 4.5 cu ft washer with tons of features. So I got new shock absorbers and ordered a new flange shaft. I just want it to last another 6-8 years without attention (I hope).
This is the flange shaft:

I'll put it all back together next weekend and put it into service. THEN, sell the older Maytag to defray the cost of parts. I am SOOOoooooo cheap!
