Speaking of Maytags - PINK -
Posted within the last 24 hours : Ad reads: " Nicknamed "Pinky" by Maytag. automatic clothes dryer from 1958, with backsplash that LIGHTS UP! Everything is there. This model was known for running super quiet. Come check it out in person, its in really great shape. May need a heating element. Use it to dry clothes or for a really cool table. The third pic shows what it looks like lit up. $25 is a steal for this Gem of Americana." CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK on Portland Craigslist

 Interesting. If it really is from 1958 it would be a very late production 640. It also appears to be missing the thermostat buttons as well as the back panel cover. It certainly is a good deal for $25 if you are looking for parts or already HAVE parts for one of these dryers as the cabinet looks really nice and the panel glass for these is a rare find, indeed!
These are nice dryers. They dry fast and HOT. I had the gas version hooked up for about 6 months and was overall very impressed with its performance. | ||

Thank you, Mark. I knew after I submitted that post that 24" was too narrow, but older Maytags were always too skinny and I knew it was close to 2 feet wide. | ||

That's not the gas valve cover. It's the lint screen. If this was a gas dryer the gas valve access was the the upper right-hand corner.
Read this thread about the gas version of this dryer that I gave foster care to for about 9 months last year. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Kenmore71's LINK | ||
