The first thing that came out...

Of my mouth was, "It's got Suds!" I was wondering when you were going to get around to this, but I didn't expect such a detailed portfolio! Thank you for the obligatory sales shot, wouldn't be a TOL Maytag set without it! Rick, I'm really glad you took the time with these two, they were totally worth it. One of these days when were out in Indiana, we'll be knocking on a few doors...

Your a good man Rick, thanks for sharing, I needed to smile tonight =)

NICE - NO, FABULOUS!- REVEAL SHOT! JUST FABULOUS!

And a super job on the overall restoration, I think you must enjoy laundry day now!

Isn't it wonderful they let them sit there for 30 years and didn't heave them in the 1970's energy crisis?

I think them being Mamie Eisenhower Pink is what stopped them!

What a beautiful job of restoration! We had the coppertone version of these when I was growing up. Have you noticed how quiet the dryer is? The design didn't lend itself to a very large dryer drum, but it is incredibly sturdy.

Wow Rick! Those look great! The new "Power-Fin" is a good thing----an improvement in "roll-over" capability! You are not the first person to make that switch, and everyone I know that did is glad of it! Now the machine won't tend to get bogged down when washing bulky items. Of course that will also tend to cut down on some of that wonderful splashing action as the old "Gyratator" did not show the mercy the "Power-Fin" does. Four pair of jeans in my '64 Highlander, and you need swim goggles and a wet suit to get through the cycle! If the "Gyratator can't roll them over it just drags them through the water at 52 opm! Glad to see another example of your expertise in restoration!

Gorgeous and so, so, so pink !

Thanks for the detail shots. The subtle differences in the suspension springs and the motor mounting method as compared to the later years was great to learn and see up close!

 

[stainfighter]

fabulous work, they look like they are right out of the factory!

 

[bethann]

WOW!

They turned out fantastic Rick! You know their my favorite! I might just have to drive up to see them in person. I promise I won't bring the dolly!
