Photos? Hello, one thing to remember is: photos are ALWAYS good! Especially when trying to sell something. Also, to be more accurate, it's a Maytag washer & dryer pair, not actually a combo (one unit that seamlessly washes and then drys). If you wanted to keep and repair them, parts should be easy enough to find. Sounds like the dryer might need a good cleaning. Plus these older models are better built and more reliable then the new stuff that's sold today. We look forward to the photos... and the best of luck selling them! Kevin | ||

Top of the washer Here's the top of the washer. The only things worth noting is the wear of the text on the buttons, and there is some minor pitting in the chrome on the bottom (right above the lid). Yes, I'm not much of a salesman, but I believe in honesty :).

Inside lid Here's the inside of the lid. Overall its good, but there is some rust formed to the bottom/outside as shown in the photo.

Inside the washer Inside is good (the detergent cup which we never used could be cleaned a little - whoops).

Washer model Sticker on top. I didn't bother trying to shoot the model/serial tag on the back (I can if anyone really wants).

Dryer drum In good shape. The lint filter quit wanting to stay in about 4 years ago, so our HVAC neighbour suggested some foil tape that he gave me. That (wrapped around the middle 'knob' that the filter presses against) has worked ever since.

Dryer model Can anyone put a date to it? I like the big CSA logo, right on the metal plate (instead of the usual sticker).

Thanks for posting the photos, they look to be in really great condition! I'm sure you are aware the washer is a "Suds Saver" model, which some really like.
On the age, if you can post the last two digits (2 letters) of the serial number, that is the code for the build date. I can tell you now they were built between 1966 and 1974, but probably after '68. I have a nearly identical set, though not a suds-saver, from 1970-71 (the dryer is '70, washer '71). Kevin

Tub light I can sum that up by saying: I never knew that there was supposed to be a light :). I'll have a look at the serials when I'm back around them. Thanks, Joel | ||
