Just drove 2 1/2 hours today to San Jose where I found these on Craigslist. Hubby and I even found time to tour the Winchester Mystery House while we were there!
Will get them unloaded tomorrow (it's 100 degrees here at 6:30pm so not going to tackle it until early morning when it's cooler). Assume they must be late 70s/early 80s. They are in working order, just need cleaning up. And both came with original operating/installation instructions, etc. Will post model and serial numbers so hopefully someone can help me get a vintage on them. Am really happy to have found the washer -- I had one very similar that was lost in last year's fire. And oddly enough, same color, and I also found that one in San Jose! | ||

Great Machines Enjoy them in good heath. Do you have another washer that you can drain the wash water into to improve water efficiency? Is the dryer gas or electric? I am happy that you are being able to rebuild your collection. | ||

Tom, thanks for the well wishes. The dryer is electric and needs a new heating element. I have not had much time to set up my "extended" laundry room yet so these Maytags are my daily drivers in the real laundry room in the house. Will have to work on the Whirlpools in the garage until I can get the other room ready for more machines. But I can't pass anything up when I find them!
DADoES, thank you for helping me get a date on these. I figured they were around that time period, especially after reviewing all the literature that came with them. | ||

Whirlpool brochure model That leisure suited model reminds me of Janice Pennington of "The Price is Right". | ||
