Nice Model 124 - approx. 1958. Timed fill machine, wringer style agitator, single speed. Much better shape than the one I found a year ago. I love these machines - the rear-hinged lid is the coolest!

The Sounds of a classic Maytag

I would love to get a video of any classic Maytag. My Vintage Appliance Videos folder will never be complete without some Maytag sounds. Many Thanks!--Laundry Shark

That's very cool - I love the red logo on the panel, it just jumps out!

Nice, with the skinny size of the agitator post it can wash a nice sized load!

I emailed the seller and asked him to add a pic of the interior and a close-up of the control panel. The response was that he would add the pics to the listing tonight.

Mansfield WAS the home of Westinghouse appliances, for a lot of years. Probably find more than a few vintage pieces in that area.

Mansfield home of Westinghouse

This is my home town. If anyone needs help with this let me know. I would think about it for myself but want to save room for either Frig set or combo. At one time everyone around here either worked at or knew someone who worked at westinghouse, so everyone thought the appliances were -throw a way- if it broke down just run to the Westinghouse store and get a newer model. They were very reasonably priced (especially if you got the employee discount)and scratch and dent models were practical given away to employees. Employees also would "find" appliances on the loading docks or scavage parts for entire machines. I can't tell you the number of stories I have heard about entire basements full of westinghouse appliances that got sent to the scrap yard when the old folks sold there homes and the new owners didn't want the old junk taking up room. (my own cousins did this to about 12 or 13 old/new washers and dryers when they got there new house (this was before they knew i would have given anything for them),I found out about it a family reunion when they were complaining about thier backs hurting from hauling all that junk to the dump! Because of all this it is harder than you might think to find vintage appliances here, but I keep looking!!

This is the first time I have ever seen a wringer agitator in automatic Maytag.

I have added more pictures to the listing of the washer. If anyone else wants any other pictures of the unit, or any questions answered please feel free to email me - and FYI it is in perfect working condition - I washed a load in it three days ago.
