After all we've been through together c. 1965 Maytag Highlander washer and dryer in pristine condition I think $475 is a bit much, isn't it? http://albany.craigslist.org/app/3281852732.html

I feel sick inside Well Ralph, it's just as you predicted - they're flipping the house. What's this BS about "nowhere to store them"? They're fine right where they are! Who on AW.org can rescue these? I wish it were me, but there's nowhere plumbed where they could go, and they deserve much...

Maytag Washer and Dryer - A606? They both have exactly the same control buttons as my A408 washer and DE308 dryer. So that's my final answer.

NOS Just one more question for all y'all before this thread is archived: would 35 years in a plastic bag make Maytag belts go bad? A seller on eBay has some NOS belts - although I haven't confirmed this - so I wondered if the passage of time might make the rubber brittle or crumbly or whatever...

Every side has its story I've been stalking the Oneonta craigslist just in case this lovely couple shows up there. So far, I haven't seen anything like. I doubt anyone would use eBay - mostly because I hate eBay and the whole shipping/freight vs. local pickup would be a deal breaker for most...

Is this worth saving? Free Maytag washer in Lewiston, ME. I'm only intimately acquainted with my own 1977 vintage washer so not sure if this is a good model or not. Opinions? http://maine.craigslist.org/app/3251794203.html

Was it something we said? Just a little bumpty bump. I wonder what the homeowners' final decision was - I hope they decided to keep and love them.

picking my jaw off the floor JeeZuz! Guess that gospel mission's hoping for some unsuspecting rich person without a clue to come along. Electric cooktop? No thanks, gas all the way, baby - no matter how retro-stylee it may be. I hate my parents' late-seventies electric range with a passion.

they seem so at home... ... are you really sure you want to sell them? That nice tidy laundry room is just calling out for some royal blue or turquoise (Forbo) linoleum flooring. And that red-topped laundry sink? Perfect! Have you listed them anywhere yet? They'd sure look nice on my blue...

love the turquoise - - but that's quite a project for $1500. Everything needs to be de-rusted, re-painted and re-chromed. Not for that kind of money!

I know, right?! I'm going to call about it. Any especially-pertinent questions I should be asking about this model? How do you collectors and fans shop for vintage-y appliances - what do you look for/ask about?

maybe I should look into this one? $50 in Greenfield, MA. Hubby works south of Boston during the week - I could get him to "pick it up" on his way home tomorrow night ;-)! Maybe we're going to have to invest in a hand truck, too. http://westernmass.craigslist.org/app/3195287428.html

congrats! Awesome find - enjoy them!

Allswell - at least for now So I had to destroy the green lawnmower belt to get it off the pump - there's $13 down the drain. But it just so happens that I found the original Maytag pump belt from the 2009 replacement - good thing we never throw anything away! A little glazed for sure, but I...

to danemodsandy: No, I didn't replace the motor drive belt - both were only 3 years old, so I'm surprised the pump belt needed replacing so soon. I don't think the stretched out pump belt was a Maytag part, so I'll probably have to order a set online. Ain't no...

what to do With the pump stuck where it is, what to do about a too-tight belt? It's not THAT tight - I can squeeze the 2 sides together. Should I run a bunch of water only-loads and hope it stretches out just enough to get the motor pulley back in action? It doesn't sound good when it's...

As Dorothy Parker once said, "What fresh hell is this?&# Okay. I got a 3/8" x 40" lawnmower belt from the auto parts store. Got that one on way easier than the slightly-too thick 40" v-belt from the hardware store. Put in a couple of towels on a small load to try it out after getting everything...

Oh crud! As you all might have guessed I didn't get very far in my attempt to adjust the pump. I cannot budge any of hex-head screws in spite of trying Liquid Wrench, and trying to scrape away what loose rust there is. It feels like (since I'm doing all this by feeling underneath) somebody...

South Grand Street is where my grandparents, Barney and Myra Bouck, lived. He was some kind of General Electric wheeler-dealer so might there have been a GE wringer-washer in the basement? I hated going down there, but that's where we had to shower. Creepy.

thanks for that! Oh yay, a diagram! That helps immensely. It's good to know that the ol' girl isn't ready for the crusher just yet - not that we're in any kind of economic shape to replace it anyway. About the rust; yes, the two of them have seen a lot of water-related disasters in 35 years of...
