I finally got the old girl finished. Still need to find some turquoise touch up for the wringer but for now I'm calling it a done deal. Just wanted to thank you all for the knowledge and advice. You guys are great. -Bob | ||

Bob,
Now thats an impressive transformation! My family bought a new Maytag just like this one in 1969 and yours now looks just like ours did when it was delivered. You should be very proud of the fruition of all your hard work. Bravo! BTW, when we got ours in 1969 it was the first year (or so the Maytag guy said) of the safety foot pedal for activation of the wringer. He took off the safety device for us and plugged the holes with stove bolts so we could use the machine unencumbered by the stupid foot pedal.
Eddie P.S. Sorry Bob that I incorrectly addressed this post to Ken originally. You did a fantastic job on this restoration. Eddie This post was last edited 08/23/2016 at 15:48 | ||

Bob Bob, It looks like it came right out of the factory. I am in Illinois too. We should talk more. Have fun. Gary | ||

Maytag E2L restoration update Hi Stan...The lid came out pretty nice. Not perfect but a lot better looking than it was. Waiting for a day with lower humidity really made a difference with the painting. Thanks for all the comments everyone. -Bob | ||

It's gorgeous BUT! How does it run? You can't beat a wringer for plain old washing. No bells and whistles. Do delicate cycles. No permanent press. It had one function. TO WASH! | ||
