WOW Jason, CONGRATS!!! Those look awesome and what a GREAT price! I look forward to seeing better photos and hearing about their condition. The washer is a 142 and the dryer probably a 641C (240V)? As for the year, based on the large piece of stainless (?) trim at the top of the front panel, They are 1960, I have the same set in pink. Kevin |

That is a nice set. Those kick plates at the bottom are a nice accent |

I will be picking them up on Wednesday after my meeting in Scarborough Maine. It's about a 2 hour drive, (Berlin, NH) but worth it. I spoke with the owner (named Richard) this morning and the story is: He purchases houses and then flips them. This one house was owned by an elderly woman in her 90's. He said that walking into her house was like a time capsule. The house was decorated in early 1960's with no type of wear and tear. The family sold the house as is, so he got everything in the house. He did test the washer and the only thing that he noticed was that the timer sticks. The dryer works but lots of dust came out of it but it did heat up. He did say another person called about the pair, but the number she gave was incorrect. He asked me if I was a collector. I said no. (I think he wanted to increase the price) Anyway, I have first "dibs." I hope to have pics by the end of this week.

Congratulations on the vintage Maytags of your recent acquisition. Something about the Maytags of that era that says, "Solid", "Durable", and numerous other qualities. They look great! |

Hi Jason, again VERY NICE, CONGRATS!!!
If I'm reading my sheet correctly, the washer was built in December '59. Also, the little "center cap" for the timer knob is copper-ish colored aluminum, not plastic. I agree, Combo52 may have one laying around.
Yes the agitator has been replaced. It would have had the stainless lint filter as well. A couple years ago I did buy a black plastic replacement agitator off of fleabay, but it was a different type of plastic, not bakelite.
Kevin

This timer assembly has been listed on eBay several times in recent months with no takers. For starters I think the seller's asking too much, but he'd also likely do better to separate the timer, dial, knob, and center cap into different auctions. Since this is the center cap you need, you might try suggesting that to him and make him an offer for just that part. Then again the knob is in really good shape as well, so you may want to try to pick that up as a spare. CLICK HERE TO GO TO d-jones's LINK on eBay |
