Seller states in email that someone has offered $125. Since in the ad He does not know if it works, looks like my $75 ain't good enough. I just ain't payin $125 + 3 hour trip!!! |

I hope John Combo got this since he has been searching hi and lo for one, recruiting me in the search (I volunteered), chasing after one in a museum in Iowa, contacting a mysterious shadow Maytag club, all kinds of detective fun following urban myths, one of which was the existence of TWO combos in another museum.
We just spoke about it, at length, yesterday. I've got my fingers crossed, and I'm going to call him now. |

This is a GE combo, not the one John is after. |

The eyes saw GE and the brain read MT. Called John all excited about it while he was on his way home, still thinking it was a Maytag. A comedy of errors, all mine.
I have been searching for a Maytag Combo for him without success and he was ever the gentleman, as usual, and overlooked the brain misfire. He's quite a guy, an unsung hero and treasure at Automatic Washer. Thanks for the motivational nudge. |

Here are more pics of the machine after it was cleaned up. Timers are frozen and the washer smells but I always enjoy a challenge. |

Congratulations! The machine is looking nice. The dryer control is not a timer. It's a thermostat. |

Yes, the slanted control panel was introduced on wshers and dryers in the early mid 60s, but the control panel of the combo was not redesigned until 67-68. Maybe they had to use up all of the pedestal style panels before changing the design. |
