Greetings and Welcome to AW.org!
Question: What does "FNG" mean?
On to your questions: On your A700 (built Jan 1964), the rotary switch on the top right of the console is a rinse temp switch. Position #1 (left) is "Automatic", for Hot or Warm wash, it has a warm rinse. Position #2 (right) is the cold override, cold rinse regardless of wash temp.
As for the dryer, if you open the dryer door the model/serial info plate should be somewhere in the door opening. If you can't find it for some reason (or even if you can) post a photo of the dryer's control panel and someone here can probably tell you the model number. That design is called the "Halo of Heat" and was built from the late '50's into the mid '70's (tho a smaller cabinet was fitted when the model line was redesigned in 1966).
The A712 is from Jan '86 and the A108 was built April '77.
What happened to the A712 that it's dead?
What's wrong with the A700 or the A108?
Can you post photos of any of them?
As for swapping the larger tub into the A700, you cannot swap just the wash basket from one to the other as it won't fit. You'd be better off swapping the complete cabinet from one machine to the other.

You can switch cabinets with the 712, and 108, that's the easiest thing to do. You will have a small capacity tub, but that gets you a daily driver, or just fix the 108 for a DD. Or find out what exactly happened to the 712.
If your dryer is gas, there will be a small access door on the RF of the dryer, to light the pilot for the burner. What is supposed to be wrong with the 700? Have you plugged it in? There may be nothing, or something minor like belts and motor slides. | ||

OK FEster.... Again, photos would help greatly...
Does the dryer look anything like this one?
Key things to look for...
#1 Are there any buttons on the control panel to the RIGHT of the timer knob like this one?
#2 Are there little RED & BLACK buttons on the left side of control panel like this one?
#3 On the timer dial, are the indications one color and time dry only, or multi position (timed and auto dry) and multi color?

(Photo: My 1960 142 (washer) & 641C (dryer). The dryer is time dry only and the buttons on the right are Reg Fabrics, Wash N Wear and Damp Dry as I remember)

And to go one step further.....
Here is a Maytag gas dryer (this one happens to be a 1959 model... Look familier RCD??).
Notice the little access door on the lower right of the cabinet. This is to access the pilot light and other components. If your dryer is gas then it will have this little access door. If it doesn't, Kenny is right, it's a 220V dryer and the dealer put a 110V power cord on it. The lights will work and the dryer will tumble, but you won't get any heat. I've done that to a number of 220V dryers I have.
