Last Saturday, my wife and me made the 720  mile round trip to St Louis. The purpose was to meet up with Travis, and bring home a set of Maytags, in Pink! Travis is a most gracious host, with a beautiful house he's restoring. We can't thank him enough for his hospitality, and  for the Maytag set.

 

Here they are, on the truck.

Waiting to enter the barn, along with a rogue DE808 I happened across.

Finally at home

They'll rest here for a while, until they can be gone through. They look right at home, between the 1947  Servel, and an early set of 806's, in Harvest Gold. That's a 1940's Philco standing in the background.

 

Thanks again, Travis!

Nice set! 

 

Congratulations on your new acquisition Kenny!  What's the year of the harvest gold 806 set? I had a dryer like that (HDE-806) but I had to switch the panels to white so it would match with my white A-806 washers!

Woot woot! Nice save Kenny! Funny thought - we've both taken our old ladies to St. Louis to bring home a pink washer and dryer.

Yeah, Ben, funny how that works out!

 

Phil, I'll have to get the serial number off it, it does have the chrome lint filter in the washer.

 

Thanks Christina, one of these days......

My favorite era of Maytags. Congratulations, and am looking forward to more photos when the time comes. Pank rules! Another example of the wonderful people who make up our online family, too.
