Found this today at D&D appliance sitting out back waiting for the scrap man. I think it's a 1977 model? The serial # is 565605 ZU, am I close? |

No, it's White. My camera (cheapo) and poor lighting. So is this one a 1977 model? |

So when did Maytag do away with the "center dial" style? |

Yay! I got it right for a change! Actually, I 'kinda guessed it. I went by date codes on several parts, the newest being May '77. I don't know why, but I always have to know when units that I collect were made. |

Beautiful machine. It appears to be in excellent condition. How does she run? I can't imagine why anyone would give up such a nice machine. Can anyone explain the serial number/date schema for Maytag or any other brands? Thanks, Bill |

Looks good! I always found the hunt for machines as the most fun. It's like "Wow, what have I found?". Like opening presents on Christmas. |
