The washer is an A702 and the dryer is a DG750. Both are early sixties through mid sixties machines whose production would have ended with the introduction of the 06 series. The washers data plate will likely say something like CA702, with the C standing for Coppertone, assuming that this is Coppertone. If it isn't Coppertone I have no idea what this color would have been called. Are these your machines? |

This is an unusual pairing in that it is a push-button dryer combined with a timer dial washer. The TOL washer that matched this dryer exactly was the pushbutton A902. This set is from 1964 or 1965. The color was simply called called "coppertone". "Shaded coppertone" would make its appearance in 1966 with the 6 series machines. |

I wonder if this is the same set from Virginia that was discussed in Shoppers Square. Here's the link.

If it isn't then this is quite a coincidence. Same rare color and same rare combination of models. What are the odds of that happening. |

My parents bought a set identical to this in 1963. The knob on the top was for the rinse temperature. You could set it to automatic, which was thermostatically controlled, or set it to cold. |

Didn't Granny have the same arrangement? Or was her washer the all-pushbutton and the dryer with the dial? Either rate, they didn't exactly match. IIRC didn't Maytag feature this kind of pair for a year or two?
In any case a beautiful set and I'm glad somebody here got them. The 702 had, in my opinion, the prettiest control dial on any Maytag. |

Granny did have the same arrangement. I remember the washer having a dial, and the dryer was all push buttons. It annoyed me each time I saw that. |

Might be the other way around. Sorry. |
