 This is a 1963 Maytag A700 that I acquired (along with 3 other Maytags) last summer. I tested the other machines, but just put this one in the corner and let it sit. Monday, after a phone conversation with the previous owner, I was inspired to dig it out, hook it up and run a couple loads of laundry through it. First: It's maiden wash (with me). A full load and full water level. It does need a couple things, but at least it does not leak! Yay! This 2nd video and 2nd load, with some sheets @ the "medium" water level. I had a little more "fun" with this video too. Enjoy! Kevin This post was last edited 01/20/2012 at 01:54 | ||

 Kevin very nice videos ! Some Maytags are a little slower in the agitate mode ... I can always tell when they get cold they start slow then warms up to a nice arc.
Love the way the detergent gets more actavated when in the middle of the cycle. I think Maytags pumps injects detergent back in the wash basket constantly that's my obsevation. Makes good wash bath water.
That is my faverite agitator cap ! And the up shot in the second video is washing haven. Nice.

Thanks everyone! I enjoyed shooting the video and editing them together (a couple hours each). My Internet at home has been down since 4pm Friday. I'm sitting in a restaurant with free Wi-Fi at this moment and am using my iPod Touch at this moment! ~ Ben yes I hate hate HATE machines with lighted controls!!! Oh... wait, I have a few that light up (oh damn... oops). LOL. No... none of the (3) lights work yet. Burned and broken bulbs on this one and I have no idea why the main flourecent is inop. (haven't looked into it yet) But thanks again!! Kevin | ||

Great clips I love Maytags too. And the Kenmores are beautiful as well. I'm finding an appetite for avocado green again. Once upon a time I used to love going to appliance stores. Even on vacation, in a different city, I'd have to spend at least one afternoon looking at appliances. NOW appliances stores are boring. I prefer thrift stores and browsing the collections on this site keeps me happy. Thank you, ALL! | ||

I enjoyed the vids. I went back to using my A606/806 Frankentag. After sitting several months, she ran beautifully, a little sluggish at first but after about a minute she was agitating normally. | ||
