They talked about this story on tonite's local news. The 24 YO deliveryman said this was probably the oldest set of pink Maytag's in existance.

I think we know better.....

"When Maytag learned about the set the company offered Thompson a new washer and dryer in exchange. But the old set works so well that Thompson took three weeks before deciding to accept the offer with a condition — if the new ones don't work as well she wants the old set back."

It'll be interesting to see if the owner doesn't scream to have the old set returned.

Certainly, I cannot imagine a new Maytag lasting 50 years with only a latch breaking. If it lasts five years without totally blowing up, it'll be doing well.

That poor woman!!!

It would be great if someone followed up to see how she liked her new "Maytags"...Wish we could have done an intervention!

By the way this set is not form 1957

Well at least the dryer is not....Maytag did not introduce the Electronic Dry control until 1960. If you catch a quick look at the close up of the dryer dial in the video you'll see it has settings for wash and wear, air fluff, and damp dry APART from the timed dry settings which means it is an Electronic Dry Control Model....PAT COFFEY
