i was just taking a guess at it cuz i'm not to hip to the older maytags. heck, i'm not very familiar with any brand of washers or dryers. but what i do know about maytag is that the center dials with the blue "aqua" paneling along the bottom of the control panel, i think they came out in 1966-1974 (i think?) and the ones with the gold "sunglow" paneling along the bottom of the control panel, i think they came out in 1975-1980 (maybe???).
so, i don't know anything about the older maytags. and believe it or not, but i was going to say 1950's, but i thought, "jeesh, it looks kinda big & i don't know if the 1950's maytags were so big looking??? so my guess was just a simple "stab in dark" when i said 1960's? sorry..... :o/ but good eye there easy!!! that was a good catch & correction you made there. and being that you have one like this already, you would definitely know more than me!!! :o) i hope somebody in this group gets this dryer, cuz i think that is a good price for it! no??? |

thanks david.
i will have to check that out when i have more time. but how interesting the sale of the dryer you got & you getting your dryer. i look forward to checking it out!!! thanks again david. by the way, how is your maytag dryer doing??? would that style of dryer still be considered a "halo of heat"??? i remember someone posting an old ad with a vintage looking dryer from about the same era as this (if i'm remembering correctly?) and it was an illustration/cartoon type drawing illustrating the "halo of heat" around the door of the dryer. |

The door knob doesn't look right. I don't think it's the original door knob. |

It is the right knob. See reply #7 above. You will see this same knob on other maytag highlander dryers. |

Chris does stern really well! ;)
My mom had one of these dryers; it was already in place when they bought a new house in '74. She hated it, because of the lint filter at the rear of the drum (Mom doesn't DO lint filters, if you know what I mean) and because it was gas with a standing pilot, not the greatest idea in Georgia. What gets me is, for all her staggeringly low opinion of it, she replaced it and the Maytag washer with a stacked Kenmore unit, also gas. Biggest POS ever. |
