Dan Langdon is in town visiting his mother from Seattle so we got together today for some appliance rescues, estate sales and antique stores. Jamie (chromacolor) joined in the afternoon scavenging and we all came home with "a little something." Dan found these enormous utensils at an antique store in Fremont, NE where we drove for an estate sale. The Maytag was another Council Bluffs find - they were just too minty to not bring home. It truly is Avocado Month around here, that's for sure - last week the green '71 Speed Queens and now this '66 set!

Should there be two additional rows of holes along where the sides of the tub meet the base? | ||

Greg, I believe that is not the original agitator. I'm thinking the original had a plate fitted to the underside, thus creating a path for water from the filter to flow through | ||

Wow you guys - what a nice looking find there! If that is a 66/67 machine, it should have the two piece - 4 Power Fins and 4 ribbed fined agitator, with the webbed lint filter. The set looks just mint. I know who's basement they'd look great in, and not mine! Are you sure that button says Wash 'N Wear? ;-) Ben | ||

also, it was nice meeting Dan. I hope to make it over tonight for another visit. Fremont was fun. There is a nice "antique/thrift" store that I love and we all found good stuff. None of us are lacking in "Kitchen Klatter" tips now... | ||

Original Maytag agitators were metal top filter and 8vanes as Grandma Marys was like that when Grandpa Norman bought her a new Maytag to replace the GE that threw a speed rod My avocado 806s sat at Hessions WD in a cold dark damp basement I came along and said I want that one ther in the back Now she sits in my vintage laundry studio
