I saw that exact dryer at a yard sale once. Where is the lint filter on that sucker? |

Seriously Tempted..... Just like the pinky we brought home the other day, except pinky (I guess I'll start calling it that) needs a dial and a new backsplash light switch, and who knows what else. More an artpiece / former home for mice. But this set is only a few hours away. Stay back people! ; ) Cory |

Good luck Fred, I hope that you get them. They would go perfectly with your 806s set. |

I had this same dryer a number of years ago and although the filter was located in a difficult to reach place, I could get a several loads of wash through the dryer before it needed to be cleaned. I think the user's manual said that the filter should be cleaned after your washday was done unless drying heavy lint producing items(shag rugs, etc.) I'll have to dig out those books again. This model's filter screen was just that; a rather coarse metal screen/mesh that seemed to allow a lot of the lint to pass through it and out the vent. For a long time, I just took the filter screen out and let all the lint run outside. Curiously, even after a couple of years running that way, there was little to no lint in the vent tubing. Maytag had this same design for filtering until the change to the "Big Load" design in 1975 when the filter was moved up front.

The filter on this design may have been inconvenient but the rest of the machine makes up for it. If everything is in good working order the machine is near silent. Although as a service tech it was never fun to restring the "halo" element. Ed |

but this is not an endlessly expandable apartment! (No, I am NOT going to trade or sell my 97s!) If I had room, that Maytag pair would have a new home just a few miles north! Lawrence/Maytagbear |

Maytagbear, you can come down and play with my set here anytime. I just got a 1956 Maytag AMP set w/gas dryer to replace the 1960 142S set. Oh, if only we could keep everything that we find! Alas, its impossible. |
