Great machine,Jeff and great job on it "boys".Congrats on definitely the MOST reliable top-loading washer ever made. The helical drive is still alive. |

Remember the Consumer Report mag. reviews from the 70's? The end paragraph always said: "Once again, the Maytag is the top-rated washer." They weren't kidding. Bobby in Boston |

1977-1978. I remember in my Junior year going to Malley's Department Store in New Haven CT during its last year in business. Not only did they move the dial but they dumbed down the escutcheon to a flat phony wood-grain panel and eliminated the operating light on the higher-end models. Hey, I was pissed off when they changed their timed bleach dispenser to that stupid bleach funnel ala GE. I still have the brochures from the transition and when I can get my &$%@##! scanner to work again I'll post them. |

Which light Bobby? The florescent panel light or the little red light above the dial? |

When we bought our BOL Maytag washer in the spring of 1981, the new models were just out, the center-dial styles were all but gone - just a few dryers left on clearance at The Mart. The service literature for the "10" series is from late 1980. At the time, I remember being glad to see something new from Maytag but it just didn't have the style and class of the older, familiar Maytags. |

We arrived on mass from the Omaha convention last year, what a place, never seen anything like it on the laundry area...every washer made...the sales staff where really p....ed off...no commission for them that day... Paul the journalist who was covering the convention, managed to sell the new Bosch "Desperate Housewives" range...could have stayed there all week!!! |

Jeff, Love your new Maytag. congrats. I bought my Maytag dryer in 1980 which still had the single dial in the middle. I still use it and have never had one thing go wrong with it. I think the model changed then in '81? Have fun with your new machine. Where is Roselle, Illinois Jeff? Gary |

Roselle is about 8 miles due west of O'Hare along Irving Park road, or for shoppers, I'm 10 minutes south of Woodfield Mall/Ikea. Everyone knows that Ikea store! |

We have an LA511 from 1982, faux wood, extra large capacity. It's a fantastic washer. It came with a matching dryer that we finally had to get rid of because we were tired of fixing sensors and things took almost 2hrs. to dry. So we replaced it with a Neptune digital dryer.......and since we got it in 2003 it's been flawless. I too hate the nasty look of the brown [right sided] dial Maytags...CENTER DIAL FOREVER! You're all correct........it makes me nauseated seeing the new appliances at the stores. Everything compared to our 511 washer or after KA24s is complete S%#T. I can tell that by just opening their doors/lids. |
