Thank you for your feedback! I'm checking to see if still available. And yes, it certainly won't wash as well as my old Montgomery Ward Signature machine!

So I'm assuming this Maytag is a direct drive machine?

Saw this on Craigslist. Although nowhere near anything like I had in California, it’s slim pickins in Hawai’i. Approximately what year is this and is it worth pursuing?

Thank you for the update! I sure do miss that machine and yes, extremely quiet. Never could find the matching dryer and never saw another model with the same console. Nice to see you using the detergent dispenser!

Congratulations on a stunning find! Cheers!

Everything looks so delicious; the food and the awesome machines! Thank you for sharing all the pics and vids!

Gyrafoam beat me to it! I've used cork a couple of times to seal a pump and it always worted. Good luck and please post pics!

What a shame the poor Wards Signature machine ended up last on the list. Does anyone know who the manufacturer was of these machines?

Absolutely gorgeous set! Is that a germicidal lamp I see in the washer?

I've seen this ad multiple times and also questioned the capacity and effectiveness of such a load. As has already been mentioned, most of the items listed are smaller so perhaps it would handle it...

What a beautiful set and in delicious avocado green to boot. Congrats!

Awesome score!!! Please keep us posted on the restoration!

Ugh! Thanks for the quick response!

Just saw this on Craigslist and think it may be one of the last belt-drive models? I asked the seller for a photo of the inside to be sure. If it’s belt-drive, I’m gonna try to get it! The “Magic Clean Filter” and “Super Wash” features lead me to believe it is not direct drive…any thoughts?

Sprouse-Reitz! That brings back memories. Was driving around the Big Island today and was surprised to see a Sears catalog store open for business in Kona...

Awesome washer! Congrats on a great find. Love the mini-lint filter so you don't have to remove it to add/remove clothes.

Thankfully one of my Mom's good friends worked in the appliance department of the Eureka, CA Sears store, located in what was then called "The Mall" (Eureka was and is a small town in the middle of nowhere on California's north coast -- population approx 30,000). While my Mom and her friend...

As a kid, I do remember eating at a Sears Coffee House in a large store in Sacramento. Very similar to the “Winky Wards” in-store cafes in larger Montgomery Ward stores.

I really enjoyed the video, although we were Montgomery Ward shoppers, I do recall some visits to Sears as a kid…

And of course the Norge/Wards solid tub machines also had a spin spray during the final spin after the overflow rinse. That was the end of our ‘62 Wards Signature when we moved to an area in Northern California that had rusty water. The final spin spray and solid tub combined with rusty water...
