Seller claims this was one of the first models of Maytag dryers, and that it was a gift to his grandmother from grandfather. The former would have nothing to do with the thing and continued to use her clothes lines, thus the unit sat all these years almost totally unused. Someone one needs to get this!

It does look nice - at least they recognize that the starting price is key to attracting bidders. Now if they had the rarely used matching washer... Wouldn't that be a beautiful display with both side-by-side? You're right, Tom, this was a HOT dryer. I wonder if by this model, Maytag had added the "kiss idler" to the twisted belt-path to keep it from jumping off the pulley(s)? I remember Jeff's comment when he saw how this was built; "they never should have been allowed to do this..." |
