Well its a Montgomery Wards machine, but all Norge inside. These little guys are very handsome in avocado green. Both needed help. These are very unusual machines in that that they are only 21" wide. The dryer is very deep for what it is and the washer is essentially a full-size Norge with a...

Hello again, after a long hiatus, I have returned to AW. I have missed everyone, but life circumstances and other factors (work, housing) have kept me from re-engaging in my hobby. So this is my re-entry, I hadn't realized that it has been so long since I've been regular here. Hopefully Spring...

So I figured I'd post to see if there would be any interest in this. For personal reasons, I have decided to thin my collection substantially. I will be offering most of of it up for a reasonable fare, and there are few rarer and nicer machines of value in the mix here as well. Below is a list...

Great POD showing the early 142 in Suds drag. Love the color in the ad and the bronzed lint filter. I have this same machine in white, and Kevin recently found a newer set in Pank. I have saved and printed this to go above the washer in the laundry room.   Thanks for posting   -Tim

Thanks for posting this Robert. I have this very model in the very same color. It's always cool to see Hoover laundry literature pop up. In fact I think a lot of these DDD's are fascinating.   Thanks!   -Tim

For anyone who ever wanted to know how a Fabric-Matic works, this explains everything. Wasn't it around 74 when the Fabric-Matic made it's debut? Either way anyone into 70's Maytags, it's a good read. The second section goes into the dryers as well including the Auto-Dry models (307/407) it's a...

So this thing is for sale at a local store, what is it? It this a "Match-all" dryer or is there a matching washer? Any idea as to the age?   -Tim

I have never seen anything like this, what year were these made? It looks very interesting, any members have one of these?   -Tim

So I'm browsing this yard sale early today and what do I see, this tucked in the corner. It's an Imperial and the tag says KDI-57. I think this is the portable version of the 17 series. It's in need of a little work, and I don't know much at all about KA's. I tried an initial load in it, motor...

So the 142 came with some brethren, a nice set of matching Coppertone 1976 407's. Today I started looking them over, beginning with the washer. These came from the basement of the house with the 142, and seem to have been somewhat cared for. They both are supposed to be in non-working states...

So... This store, which I have gotten some other stuff puts a lot of their things on C/L... I have been driving by this place that had this thing in the window. I asked some friends about it, and tried to talk myself out of it. I drove past it some more. Saturday I went in and looked at it...

This poor soul, I picked this poor little guy up this week, and my oh my what a state of affairs. I've been looking for one of these for a few years now, and while not in great shape, I see hope and I think I can get her in usable shape (maybe)...   Not sure on the year, I'd guess early...

Question, I have 2 Maytags in service and I want to omit the warm rinse from them. Is there a simple way to do this? The main reason is that our water heater is so inadequate that a HOT/WARM on the A407 really knocks it out, and the A502S does a warm rinse on WARM and HOT. So I was just curious...

  SO! I have FINALLY found a Speed Queen/Simplicity twin tub. After years and failed attempts I now have one. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get all spazzy and jittery about it. I could barely contain myself as I was on my way back from VA Sunday. The story goes that the machine was...

So I was thinking after reading through several posts, would it be viable for use to have a dedicated "For Sale" section on the site for things like C/L ads and other leads? I just notice that there a lot of mixed C/L ad's and For Sale things that float around between the forums, and it would...

I'm in need of a timer for my DE309 dryer. The timer had been flakey for sometime and now it is 15 minutes off-time and very hard to turn/start. It sporadically stops advancing leaving the clothes drying for infinite times. Below is a pic, if anyone has a good one I'd be grateful. I think this...

So a few months ago I drove up to beautiful Virginia in the trust steed to pick up a very unusual little washer and dryer. Partly unusual to find both the washer AND the dryer and also unusual to find them in as good of shape as they were. It was a long drive, roughly 6 hours each way and I was...

What is this, how old is it and are they very good performers? I'm tired of my 18" Frigidaire and need something bigger and that can actually clean a pan. This is for sal locally and I was thinking about it.   -Tim    

"There can be only one..." Well actually there are 2. Friday I drove up and picked up these pretty nice Maytags and brought them home. These are supposed to be 1965 models, although I'm not entirely sure, there is a date of 5-8-65 written on the back panels of both. When I got there to see them...

So as John let out of the bag, I did pickup another appliance en-route to get the Maytags. This machine is fairly neat and apparently pretty rare. What was really odd is that I ran across it after John Lefever and I were having a conversation about just this very thing. Apparently Kenmore...
