Wauwatosa? That brings back memories. When I first started my interest in appliances around 1981, I picked up my first avocado 1969 GE washer at North Av. Appliance at approx. 80th and North Av. A location that's long since closed as they moved west to about 117th and N. Av. in Wauwatosa.
But there used to be a Maytag store in that same area, I think it was called Babke's Maytag. I wonder if your parents got theirs there.
I hope these all find a good home.

I’d snatch these up if I were closer. Looks like all they need is cosmetic work (mainly the dials and selector switches) and the dryer probably just needs a clean out of the lint and POR15 on any of the surfaces if the pilot light was kept on for many years along with the outer felt seal if it’s compromised near the burner and air mixer assembly area.

The pilot light was not on in the dryer for years, a gas leak in the lines going to the dryer caused me to shut the gas off to the dryer. Parents didn't venture into the basement due to their age. |
