I seen this 1 speed E series for sale at a garage sale and had to run over and check it out. They only wanted $25 for it so I quickly scooped it up and took it home. At that price I was expecting it to be rough but it seems to be in great shape actually. The water basin, underside, and separator aren’t really dirty. The final filter has a small amount of dust but nothing bad. Better yet the bearings are toast, as is often the case with older rainbows.
I previously had a 1 speed e series but I actually sold it to fund a newer E4 Black. I’ve missed the older one though so I’ll be happy to have one back!
