If it works,it works, is the simple answer

You'll have to do plumbing connections anyway !

I was just wondering if it might be harder on electricity more so than if i got a newer one, thanks

The older machines are hot AND cold fill so in some cases can be cheaper to run than modern cold fill only machines that use your electricity supply to heat the cold to desired temperature, anyone with plenty of hot water, say from a stove, would save on electricity, but then older macines use more water so if on a water meter then its gona cost.

If you decide to skip it you might consider the young fella on the Appliances forum who is building a museum of old washers.

You be nearly guaranteed that it will last longer than a newer machine!
