There be one of them gas Maytag Drying Center things near me in Beaumont (which I call Hugh Beaumont in memory of Mr. Cleaver) for $100. Definitely makes a laundry room statement.

I like these machines, probably much better quality than anything new provided the photo is of the actual items. Listed under "by owner" but the guy sounds like a used appliance dealer. I assume by "balancing" he means leveling. Requires another trip to Desert Hot Springs..."lions and tigers and bears oh my!"

A standard-capacity Fabric Matic washer with matching Auto Dry gas dryer.

Jackson, MS.  $125

That washer has the short, quick stroke ortibal transmission in it--they grey agitator. 

Here's a pair in Montgomery, AL for $250.

That Coppertone set in reply 48 is sure nice, but the 600 dollar price tag is a bit much for the market. It's interesting that the agitator has the chrome lint filter on it. I thought those had gone away before machines with gold panels came along, so either I'm wrong, or someone upgraded their lint filter.

Update - Holy vintage Maytag's Batman, how did I overlook this? This dryer is a CDG806, yet it has the gold trim. I believe that makes this a rather rare unit, as the 06 dryers with gold trim were only produced for a short time before being  superseded by their 08 series counterparts. There just aren't that many of these guys out there. I sincerely hope this set will be rescued by someone.

We must have been typing at the same time. Based on your observations it would seem the plot thickens. Too bad the serial number on the dryer can't be read. Knowing when it was manufactured would answer a lot of questions.

That's an early Dependable Care with the non-monochromatic white panel.  They are TOL or next to TOL, depending upon where these were bought.  Except for the white panel, this was the exact set my mom had as her last washer & dryer.  I've only seen one other black/brown faced DC panel washer or dryer.

Phil, the dryer is electronic dry control with 3 temps.  Air fluff is a part of extended Press Care section, just turn the signal off.  Signal is off or on, not variable like mine.  The washer is 2 speed combo, variable water level, Perm Press, Regular, and extended soak and pre wash, extra rinse option on regular cycle, and 4 temps of H/C; W/W; W/C; & C/C.  There is an energy saver switch next to the 2nd rinse switch that mixes a bit of cold water to cool down the hot and warm slightly. 

Wow that set in Vegas is sweet!   Too bad they won't fit in my carry-on in a few weeks, LOL.

the pattern makes me think it's due to being very overloaded all the time. 

What's that stainless steel lint filter assembly doing in this low end machine? I'm tempted to contact the seller just to try and get that. They're hard to come by.

David - I bet the filter housing in reply #67 is actually a white replacement.  The chrome filter assembly is too tall for the standard capacity agitators.

Thanks for the input on this, but you know, I have a chrome lint filter assembly on my A700 that came off an A502. So that's what I was thinking this is. I know the lint filter your thinking of, the one that's identical to the large capacity turquoise ones in every aspect except for the chrome top, but that's not what I had in mind. The possibility that this one is actually white is something I hadn't considered. Too bad the picture isn't just a bit larger.

That stacked Dependable Care Plus is nice!
