If you plan on keeping them and not to make a quick buck, I'd easily pay up to $500 for them if they are pristine and know you have something that will work for you many years in the future. There is a video a member posted here of a slightly newer model of yours from start to finish of a cycle, inside and out, as all Maytags were basically the same guts. It is on You Tube under Maytag 906 extravaganza.

Fully restored can mean a lot of different things, if they are truly in nearly perfect mechanical condition they may be worth $500-2000 or more if you really want this set, I would probably only go toward the upper price if they have a warranty of at least one year on parts and labor that is backed by a dealer that is still in business.
I restored a brown set like this a few years ago and easily have 25 hours of time in the restoration, which is around $2000 in my time. The dryer has a newer PB selector switch on it I would want to find and install the correct one with the gray buttons.
But if you are an appliance collector these are a cool set, if you intend to use them as your daily driver there would be much better machines to have, many parts are NLA for these models and it could be a challenge to keep them running if you use them much. |
