They need more pictures and a description of operating condition etc

If the additional information revels that these are as good as they look they may be worth every penny of $600

We have this pair in brown at the museum all restored which is where they will stay, they are just way to mediocre in performance to be anything you would want to use on a regular basis, but they are pretty.

Question for Dan or others, did the original A160 have black buttons instead of gray ?

$600 is a fair price for rare machines, particularly the 160, in a rare color with paint/cabinets in excellent condition. Repainting is the most expensive ordeal in restoring machines of this age. Mechanicals of the washer are basically the same through 1989. If the inner tub shows common wear due to the Bakelite agitator, a white tub from an 80's stacked unit can be swapped in as well as some first gen small capacity LAT machines. For improved performance, swap in a Powerfin agitator and 63 OPM gears or keep the original gearing and install a 50Hz pulley and achieve 67.5 OPM's with a 756 RPM spin. Mechanically, the dryer is the same through 1975. Easy restoration for someone who enjoys working with their hands.

I'd love to have this washer. I've wanted a push-button Maytag washer from this period for as long as I've known about them, but six hundred is far more than I can spend.
