I was told they were working when removed from service a couple of months ago - and they seem to work just fine in the preliminary tests. This pair was purchased by an older couple new, sold at their estate auction 20 years ago and bought by another couple for their lake house. Used lightly, they were replaced with newer models. When they bought the set at auction, they were brought to a Maytag service man - the man I bought them from and he competely rebuilt them before they went to the lake house. He told them at the time if they ever wanted to sell them...and here they are!

Heh Heh - it was so nice of Fred to mention this set during our last visit - THIS set made that whole trip worth while! This dryer is so awesome! I am so glad you made that call and saved this wonderful set. I can't wait to see a PANK pushbutton set in your basement - it will be breathtaking! I agree Louis - this is s a funny pair - an A700 with a DE750? It must have been a spur of the moment thing - he had the 700 around and the 750, and the folks just wanted a matching color set. So what is this, like 4 or 5 matched PANK Maytag sets on the board? I know Rick has his 141 set, I have my 142 set, Greg now has this set - any others? Again, WOW Greg - what a save! You better lock your garage at nite - that tub looks mint! You aren't the only one who can't park in their garage ;-) Congrats ~ Ben | ||

very lovely, yes. understated, workman-like design. but, am i the only one who DOES NOT think they are SUCH a mis-match as is? they go well together. the washer has a solid-vane agitator? | ||

Wonderful pink machines Are you going to re-assemble the center-dial into the downstairs donor machine? Looks like that will still be a nice set then too. | ||

I know this may sound weird to some of you but I actually prefer the panel that's on the pink machine now over the pushbutton. I love the illuminated rotary Maytag knob, especially with the 4 and 2 minutes in red letters. Les | ||

Greg, I forgot that you had that white set! That is the set that you found when we were there for the convention. How strange that you found one set with the pushbutton washer, then a couple years later found another set with the pushbutton dryer. Well, it was just ment to be that you would get these and make two matching sets! Good things come to good people... Good for you. | ||

Les, I'm with you. For sex appeal, it's the pushbutton ones all the awy. But for everyday driving for laundry, I prefer the dial set. I THINK the dial dryer is electronic control too, which is the best of both worlds, offered auto dry and timed dry. Wish Maytag had continued that design, but didn't. I think Greg told me once Maytag had problems iwth that design of timer.

Quick question... How long were those centre-dial Maytags produced? Am I right in thinking that the same models were sold over 20 or 30 years with slight tweaks in the design? Those centre dial Maytags have to be my favourite American toploader by far! Jon | ||

Jon, these center-dial Maytags were made from about 1956 until about 1980. They had some appearance updates along the way, but the basic "signature style" was the same. Consequently, Maytag washers (and dryers) were one of the most instantly recognizeable, familiar brands made. When I got the white set (pushbutton washer anyway - the electronic control dryer in white came from Don S. in Minneapolis, MN) we played with it in the garage on Sunday afternoon and Mike (chestermikeuk) was amazed at how quiet it was... For those who haven't heard, they have a very distinct and rythmic sound when agitating - many are as fond of that sound as those who love the sounds of Kenmore/Whirlpool machines. The timer & selector switches are beautiful and simple on the outside, but inside is a whole different story: (this is of the A906, exactly the same as the 160 I have now)

Pink Gregory
I can understand wanting to keep the flexibility of the center dial, but I can also appreciate the elegance of pressing one button and THAT'S ALL, FOLKS. And I bet you will have and keep both capabilities. Do any of those cycles do anything cool or unusual or surprising? I'm just whispering now shhhhhh: love to learn new things, little experience with Automatic Maytags, never that crazy about them, tub size disappoining, secretly called them Boretags until Robert filmed the new one with the giant spinning paddlewheels, have an open mind. Teach me, brothers and sisters. | ||
