Great machine! Mid fifties is a more accurate DOP. Bobby in Boston | ||

I just saved this one. I am picking it up this afternoon. I have the matching washer (thanks to Chris). This will be a beautiful set. | ||

AMP match I heard about this through Steve (Sactoteddybear). It sure is nice, congrats. I had no idea that Maytag had a dryer to match the AMP. This is the picture from the Dallas Craig's List. Martin

Quoting:"Water heaters mostly still use pilots, I guess that's because the heat is not wasted." Really?? I tought that all appliances with pilot lights were outlawed in the early 90s because they're less safe than electronic-ignition ones! | ||

I have this beauty in my garage. Does anyone in the club have an operating manual or anything on this dryer. I plan to clean it up and check out the workings this weekend. If anyone has anything I would appreciate a copy. Thanks!!!! Bob | ||

Air quality meter!
Ugh, Tom, that's a horrible thought - but not exactly surprising. As pretty as it was, that Maytag Dutch Oven range I had was certainly a foul, primitive way to bake. That is a beautiful Maytag dryer - best of luck with it. With no standing pilot, there is a good possibility that everything works on it - a couple of new belts, check for leaks in the gas system and a good cleaning & lube job and give it a whirl! There is quite a bit of chatter from Maytag in the issues of "Let's Talk Service" for that first water-dryer, they eventually put an "S" shaped steel rod to keep the pump belt from flapping around and rubbing on itself - called a "kiss idler". What a disaster that machine must have been. Their later blower/mist condensing system worked very well though and in addition the ill-fated combo, it was offered up until the '06 line was introduced in 1966. I'd love to find one of the 750W models someday...
