I'm not 100% sure, but, "for those of you keeping score at home" my guess is that they're from '63 or '64. For those who may know better, remember this is just a guess.

As I remember from my mom and my (late) grandmother's '69 and '73 606's, the light actually stayed on, even if the machine was off. You either lifted the lid (the safety switch would shut it off), or, push in the timer knob. I also rememebr my grandmother's Maytag had a timer that would "click"...

OK, OK, laugh if you will at my typo's!(serves me right, huh-LOL)

I realize ("realiSe" for our frinds reading this in th UK, Australia, and anyplace that spells given words diffeently from us Americans-LOL!) now that the one thing I neglected to do when I saw them, was to checek the tags where the serial numbers are posted; more times than not, the...

It does have a quattro suspension...

I'd be remissed if I didn't mention the actual retail price...$1,339 for the washer; $1,029 for the dryer. Add $250 apiece for the pedestals. Prices exclude sales tax.

I just came from a "mom'n'pop" appliance store in my area, and what did I see? At first, I thought it was an LG pair, until I got a closer look. The new, full-sized, ASKO washer & dryer were on display! Wanna see 'em? log onto www.askousa.com

Did you know that the "Monkey Wards" (my girlfriend's quip-not mine!) association with Westinghouse goes back to sometime in the '50s? I camne across an old MW mail-order catalogue at an antiques & collectibles flea market some years back, and I was surprised to see (circa 195something-I can't...

As top-loaders go, I've been especially partial to Maytag; while I was never keen on their full-time lid switch, and the fact that if their rinse cycle were any shorter (as in "you blink, you miss it!")I always felt they set the standard by which others were judged. When they introduced the...

I think it could be a Canadian-built machine. I've seen ads on eBay for what appear to be Canadian-made Westinghouse appliances from the '50s, and for whatever reason, there were "deviations" from the similar American-made models.

No; someone needs to FLOG all of them!!!

Too bad I don't have the money, space, time, or mechanical inclination, 'cuz I'd love those Laundry Twins!

I'm not 100% sure...but I don't think that old Bendix is a Duomatic. It looks like half of the so-called "Perfect Pair" from '52.

Frigidaire actually sponsored the daytime version of TPIR. BTW, I taped all the Cullen-era episodes when GSN aired them. and in a couple of 1958 shows, an RCA Whirlpool (as it was known back in the olden days) home laundry: TOL Imperial washer and dryer, and an Ironer...

Those Bill Cullen episoes of TPIR were aired about 10 years ago on GSN. If they were more vigilant in renewing their contract to continue airing all the Goodson-Todman game shows, we might still be enjoying nearly ALL the surviving original "Price" episodes, as well the ones they had from the...

This looks more like something you'd more likely expect to see at a Japanese consumer products fair...

I think it was '61, or'62, whrn the cap was changed.

My mom and grandmother had the "606" models-my mom had hers for 20 years; my grandmother's was almost 22 years old at the time when she sold it with her house 14 years ago. The A606 model was reputedly one of the best-selling Maytag machines of all time.

I had a Maytag washer similar to the A104 pictured above (it may have been the same model, but I don't remember; it had a dark brown facade with light colored graphics. Otherwise, it was the same machine.

Thanx for the pic; very interesting stuff. I remember my grandmother had a Blackstone 150 when I was a li'l kid. Occasionally, she'd "save" a load of laundry for me, so I could watch it (at the time, my family lived in an apartment, and didn't have our own washing machine). I can vaguely...
