TOL Maytag A712 washer as well, nice. I think the seller may find it difficult to come up with a fair asking price for the dryer. Unless a member shoots them an e-mail with the bad news. |

That's a DA-820Y; 1964 and the first iteration of the new-style of GE control panels, or, as I like to call it, "the beginning of the end". Even the '64 panels had a little more detail to them than what was to come, but the bean-counters won out in just a year. Took them 4 more years to figure out that shining a panel light directly in the eyes of the user wasn't such a good idea and that it should be directed down onto the controls where it would be more useful. I'd like to have that panel; it's unique. Even the fonts they used for the controls were different.

I've emailed the seller twice, no response. Can't tell from the pic if the dryer is gas or electric. 4 pushbuttons on it, I'm guessing Hi-Low-Air-Push to Start? And can't see the dial well either, so I don't know the options. Maybe just timer, or would 1964 models have timer-versus-heat systems? I don't really need another electric dryer, but if it's this local..........My 66 GE has a push to start button, whereas my 62 Frigidaire is on as soon as the door is closed. I don't know about this model.
Like I really need another washer or dryer. But local is local...
Maytag is a mid-80's, eh?
