PA142/PDE641C.
Couple of obvious issues. The left pane glass is toast on the dryer. Finding another older striped pane glass would be a daunting task. It looks like the washer timer dial/timer knob has been modified. The lid on the washer sags, meaning a combination of the following: Missing rubber bleach inlet tube/missing bumper, or the lid is rusted out where is rests on the rubber bleach tube (common). Or a combination of all of the above. That's just the obvious problems without pulling front/rear covers and dry testing the machines. These machines are at least 51 years old, so a complete tear down to the bases and full rebuild is an absolute must. | ||

It's glass, but unlike the later glass panels, it's frosted on both sides. Maytag quit using that glass in 1959, so finding a panel would be very difficult. Having a panel cut, frosted, and silk screened(?) would probably be extremely expensive.
Here's a pic of the 641C dryer I gave to redcarpetdrew.

GLASS PANELS FOR MT DRYERS
I am in the process of restoring a pink MT gas dryer like this one, I believe I have an extra set of glass panels if someone gets this pair. The pink gas one I have is being converted to electric ignition using parts from a MT big load dryer. Originally Bob of Hollywood and I started on this dryer but I haven't heard from him in over a month so I will probably sell it after I finish it and have some fun using it for a while.

I had a Maytag 906 many moons ago, that had a broken glass. I used a piece of clear Plexiglass, cut it to shape, then painted one side white. Put the painted side inside, it looked pretty good I thought. I wonder if something similar could be done.
Now that I look at it, the one in the boneyard must be glass also, I see the light switches off to one side. | ||
