The white agitator indicates the washer is a direct drive model. This means the agitation strokes are shorter and faster than on the pitman type transmission that Maytag used for a few decades until 1987, but the direct drive transmission proved very reliable, and these days is likely easier to repair and/or find parts for.
The washer also appears to have the large tub. If you're able to test that the machines work properly and you don't see any oil or water leaks under the washer, they're probably OK.
I don't think I'd pay more than $250 for the pair even in top condition. |
