You guys are right those are 1959 or 1960 models, I believe in 1961 they changed the glass panel to the later gold design as opposed to red and the buttons went from black to gray. The 142 was first introduced in 1958, but it had the double lid like the old AMP's without the water level switch inside it. 1959 was the first year of the single panel lid. | ||

Hi Robert, Just a quick question--would this eBay machine then be an A700 or a 142? Inquiring minds want to know...I thought the 142's never had the notched lid (just the AMP-style), and heard the A700 debuted in 1959. I could definitely be wrong though... | ||

Oops, I can't believe I misread Bobby's post!! So now the question is, did they make the 142 and the A700 at the same time, or was the A700 the 142's successor? This is getting more and more fun... | ||

Original paint photo.Set as they were found
Someone had thought the ebay set was repainted,because the toe kick area was painted to match with the cabinet. Here is a photo of my set before they were restored. Note the toe kick area is pink here also. Was it only the white colours that had the toe kick area painted silver on these older style Maytag cabinets? Anyone know,just for the heck of it?

Don Shier is bringing his 142 (white) down here this weekend for a makeover training course, his has the lined glass panel and one-piece porcelain lid but still has the pivot motor and tension spring. I have the brochure for this model line and it shows the colored machines with the gray toe-kick so who knows? Could have been an extra painting step they elimnated early on with the colors. No matter the details, this pink set on ebay is beautiful! Hopefully another glass panel can be found for the dryer...and an electric element ;-) | ||

Bajaespuma, I am killing myself laughing. In my younger days I would have walked to CO and carried them back. Worry about transport after you grab 'em. Someone here will help you figure out the logistics. Good luck, they are beautiful. Bobby in Boston | ||

Tim, I don't think anyone who appreciates fine vintage appliances would mind if you kept them. There are so many good and knowledgeable folks in this club, you could easily find out how to rebuild them. Bobby in Boston | ||

Tim, I have a panel from a late 142SB (S is for suds saver, B is for bleach dispenser) with an untested timer. It would be for a suds saver though. The P on the P142 is for 'Pink' as Maytag put a letter in front of the model number to show what color the machine was from the factory. The washer model itself is the 142. I don't have the parts books handy at the moment, so someone else could direct you to the timer P/N's if needed. What exactly is wrong with the timers? I know a few folks here on the board have either repaired the timer/s themselves, or have sent them into a service facility that specializes in rebuilding timers. Hopefully someone could post the vendor's contact info. Hope this helps ~ Ben | ||

Tim, From what I've noticed, it was not noted on the model tag that the machine would be a 142B (or 142SB) for bleach; it would just be listed as a 142/142S. I've only seen service literature mention the model number being listed this way - I would assume to show a difference when the service man would go through their books for service info. Not an expert at all on the dryers, but I think the ID tag would be behind the main door, on either the upper left or right side. It is located in this spot on later dryers, not sure about these earlier units. What exactly is wrong with the timer/s? Does it no loner advance, or get stuck on a certain cycle, or does the machine no longer come on at all? What features of the machine no longer worked after the repair fellow put the faux timer in the washer? This might start to help us out a bit. Hopefully those lights still work - those make the machine! Keep us posted on the timer situation ~ Ben | ||

Tim, I am going to go an guess that the washer and dryer are from approx. 58- early 60ish. If you go back to the model number tags you found on both units, you will see a serial number located on the tag as well. There will be two letters after a series of numbers - those letters tell the month and year the machine was produced. If you post the serial numbers, any number of us could tell you what month and year the machines were made. I'm not surprised that you found the model tag on the gas door support brackets. The tag on Cory and I's '56 Gas Maytag (in pink also!) was behind the gas door too. I wasn't sure if they had moved it since our machine was a 1 year run only. So go ahead and take some time to clean up the machines. Let us know what they do, or don't do, now. From there, we should be able to point you in the right direction. Also, keep your eyes out for the Maytag Automatic Washer repair manual on ebay. It will be for the Helical Drive models, and will say it on the manual. I can also make copies and send pages to you as well. Let me know. Thanks! Ben | ||
