In the meantime, I've been working on a Maytag DE-701 dryer that Don Shier picked up for me in Minneapolis. I brought it home last week and started working on it this afternoon. A couple of wire-straps and it will be ready to move downstairs to replace the 641c gas-converted-to-electric dryer I found last year with the Maytag 160 Pushbutton washer. This is the actual match to that washer, the pushbutton dryer didn't come out until 63 or 64. I changed the front panel out with the 641's panel because the original was pretty banged up and I wanted the edges to match the washer. The DE-701 had a different lip at the top (chrome edge) and the bottom creases near the gray strip - the later version was just a flat front.

Ohh nice dishwasher find Greg, and now you can change it to turquoise very easily with my old KDI15 panels. Be sure to bring your ear plugs, Neal commented the other day on how much he likes not having to turn the volume up on the TV whenever I start the dw like he used to when I had the KDI15 installed.

Well, the DW, very cool, and will be a nice addition. The Dryer, no comparison to them in my book. No one ever made a dryer that could compare to this machine for home laundry. Why was the HOH dumped to begin with, I guess perhaps too heavy and hard for the techs to move? Anywho, very nice on both counts. Steve |

LOVE that script on "Superba"! It reminds me of the 60's Sear's logo. |

No Bedazzling here... I'm saving that for your new refrigerator, Venus! I moved the dryer downstairs yesterday afternoon and need to make a couple of adjustments, level the cabinet, etc. but it seems to be fine all around. The timed cycles work just fine and the electronic control tests are good. We shall see... I started on the KA dishwasher yesterday as well, the machine has had some use but it's in really good shape too - just dirty, I've never seen so much coffee dribbled down the front of a machine! The cutting board was obviously well-used so it needs stripping and sanding. I'm going to use the panels from Robert's KDI-15 so we'll have a turquoise front. |
