I just would stand there and cry with happiness if I got a set of Maytags like these. After I stopped crying I would jump up and down like a game show contestant! :)

 The washer's a TA700 and I think the dryer is likely a TDE701. I have a similar set in yellow (which I prefer), but my dryer is gas. The one in the video may be as well, but I never could get even a glimpse of a service door down on the lower right, so I doubt it. I believe both of these machines would date to the early 1960's, but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone here will correct me. | ||

I'M WITH YOU ON THAT STEPANIE....
My Dream set is a late 50's, early 60's set of
these maytags in Turquoise, but I'd take pale yellow, as a second. I do have a matched pair that were bought together. Sept. 1961 A700S Washer & a DE700 Dryer. They are white, but I figured better to have a pair that came togther, than none at all. So I'll live with the white......but I can still dream / LOL. Louis | ||

That style was made from 1958 to 1965
Though for parts purposes, I prefer the 1961 to 1965 700/702 series. Mine were from separate states. Ted had my A702 in Maryland. I took it to my friend Dave's for a transmission seal (still in progress) and found the matching de702 dryer in Ohio.

Actually
turquoise is my second favorite color. My absolute favorite color is pink. I would love to have that maytag set, as well as my kitchen appliances, in pink. But that being said, I would be thrilled with any of the pastels. My thankfulness for them would overpower color preference and I would love them no matter what. :)

Turquoise Time
Kevin, yeah, it leaves a nice little puddle of grease on the floor and the timer could stand some work. When I bought it, the previous owner was trying to use it as a daily driver and had no clue about anything mechanical. I've got the matching dryer which should be an easy fix up. Just need to find the time! -Cory

OK.....We're All Being Tortured.......LOL
Kevin,
That Yellow Pair is Awesome. I wish my 700's were Turquoise or Yellow. But, as Stephanie alluded to, having them, no matter what color, is still a great feeling. EVEN though mine are White, I am very glad I got them:) Thanks for sharing Your Pics.....You Too Cory. Awesome machine, as well. Louis | ||

Not to pile on or anything...
I guess I shouldn't mention the Set I have waiting to be restored and loved. Just haven't had the time with all the events life throws at me. Wow, Steph, we just gotta get you a pair!

Stephanie, If you want a pink pair, I have an unrestored, dirty pair that I will give you. The dryer is gas. I will try and take some pictures this weekend. | ||

IT DEF IS HARD TO CHOOSE....
Hey Stepanie,
I've been thinking about painting them, when they are up and running. They have been in storage since I bought them last year, as I am in the process of getting a house. The body should be easy to paint, but the I'd need advice about painting the porcelain tops. I guess some sort of Etching Agent must be used first, but I have never attempted. Any Tips or Suggestions Anyone? They would be Turquoise or Yellow. Drew -- Awesome pair of turquoise -- but you do know how to needle.... LOL. Travis that's a great offer, and very generous, regarding the Pink Pair for Stephanie......I think they may have her name written on them:) Wishing Everyone the MaytagS of Their Dreams. Louis | ||

@tennblondie78..
5 hours is that doable?
I was going to ask if the dryer could be converted it seems it is then?? have never done such a thing here as we have hardly any gas dryers unless you go for the big guns in the laundry. Well good luck anyways with getting and restoring the set from Travis am sure others on here will know all about getting them fixed :o) Austin.. | ||

I'm not really interested in running it off of a bottle. I don't have a donor dryer to steal parts off of, so I'm not sure what I would be getting into with the dryer. I wouldn't mind converting it to electric if I could get parts easily... I just don't know. 5 hours is a doable drive. That's not a problem.

HOH dryers are still popping up on CL with some frequency. My suggestion would be that, if you have room to store the pink dryer for the time being, to grab it and keep an eye out for a donor. Depending on the dryer model itself from Travis (Electronic Control or not) will help in understanding which donors will work. If it is timed dry model then any HOH will work. If it is an Electronic Control model, then you'll want to find a DE407, or a DE606/DE806.

I could store the dryer until I got parts if conversion is a feasible thing. If I got the right part numbers, I guess I could buy parts separately as I found them on ebay and whatnot. I would have to lean on the good people of AW for guidance through the conversion and restoration process, though... It could be a group project! LOL! :) We could document the whole thing for future reference/posterity.

My pink set from 1958. The original pink dryer that came with this set was gas. I already had an electric dryer in white, from 1959. So I used the pink top and control panel, and had the white cabinet painted pink. I had the washer cabinet repainted pink at the same time. It makes a great looking set, and is one of my favourites.

AW is a GREAT Support System.......
Stephanie,
Maybe there is someone who has a Pink Electric, that would interested in trading for a Pink Gas one. That could be alot easier. RickR Your Pink Set is Awesome. If anyone knows where I can get a Pair of Turquoise or Yellow Tops, for the A700S & DE700, I would def change them out and repaint the Cabinets. OR...Does anyone know If, or How, the porcelain Tops could be Repainted? Any ideas would be appreciated. Happy "Maytagging" Everyone :) Louis | ||
