Checkrate/Likes *MAYTAG Quick Reference Guide* But it doesn't list Maytag Combos, I think they already wanted to forget they ever made Combos, and I won't even comment on whats wrong with the Brides Guide To Home Laundering, LOL. Still a great buy, where else can you get such bargains.

Checkrate/Likes I recently found a 1981 Maytag Washers and Dryers Brochure. This is the earliest brochure I've found after Maytag introduced their newly designed control panels. Its scanned and up on Automatic Ephemera if anyone wants a copy. Question for the Maytag experts: when did Maytag change to the new control panel design was it in 1980 or 1981?

Checkrate/Likes *Maytag!* I remember seeing these in the summer of 1980 at A&S and the following year my Mom got the A810 model, A really great washer.

Checkrate/Likes Those are the same vintage as my washer and dryer. This brochure and my brochure lists my washer as a 510. The washer tag says it is a 511 and the only difference I can see is I have a bleach dispenser and the 510 does not. After using them all of these 32 years I have owned them, you would have to pry them from my dead hands. I will never get rid of these machines.
