I saw a posting on Tacoma Craigslist yesterday - emailed the seller and settled on a price, and drove the 3-1/2 hours from Vancouver, BC. to Tacoma, WA. to pick it up! It's almost immaculate! Fantastic shape, very clean, and absolutely functional! In fact, I'm running it through its paces as I write this! Does a great job! Just wish I lived in a house instead of an apartment, so I could have room for rinse tubs. Oh well, we do what we can with what we have... The pic attached shows the rinse tub that was being sold also, but I didn't get it....sorry, the photo is badly blurry...but everybody knows what they look like anyway.

Hi Brad ... Welcome to the "Maytag Conventional Club"!! :-) They are wonderful machines and get clothes clean. Was the safety device removed before you got it? Enjoy!!! Geoff

Thanks for all the messages!
Yes, the safety device was detached from the machine - I would have liked to have seen it, and how it worked. From what I hear, it was a foot pedal of sorts? As soon as I got in home, I gave it a whirl! I washed a few scatter rugs and a wool blanket, and then some regular laundry (shirts, towels, etc.). Everything came out beautifully clean (could be partly due to the ALL detergent I used, which I bought in Bellingham on the way home), and the machine operates so quietly! BTW, on the subject of ALL detergent, I'm going to write a letter to Unilever...it hasn't been available on the Canadian market now for many years, and it was always my mother's brand of choice. It's so frustrating, especially in light of NAFTA, that some brands are being removed from the Canadian supermarket shelves. One would think MORE brands would be available now, not less. I'll try to post some pics at some point - perhaps a video, also I just use my webcam, so the quality isn't the best (as anybody who saw my Suzy Homemaker washer video can attest!) For those who haven't, I've included the YouTube link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradross's LINK | ||

All Detergent All is not owned by Unilever, but was sold to The Sun Products Corporation. Wisk, All and Surf were all sold to them under a big transaction awhile back. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gowest84's LINK | ||

Money shot It sat outside, covered, for 15 years before we plugged it back in. Then came the job of cleaning the tub. But the results turned out good! NorfolkSouthern

What I find freaky about Maytag wringers is, you can only see one roller. Is one roller black or hidden? Is that a black cover that hides the top roller? | ||

The top is indeed a black roller, rpm. Come to think of it, it does look a little freaky! NorfolkSouthern | ||

Add me...
...mine is similar to RedCarpetDrew's model with the exception of the timer that shuts down agitation when it goes off. The little rubber rings that go around the screws under the agitator have worn and started to leak, so I need to locate the parts for that, but the machine is still in good working order otherwise. I need to get it fixed soon....it blows away my DD Whirlpool on how it cleans a load! | ||
