1959 Turquoise Maytags

[riverrat]

I am selling my Maytags. I have had them since 2019. They have served me well, but we are not repairmen. I am still using both, but they are needing some TLC and we are tired of fiddling with them.
The good, they still look the same as when I got them.
The bad, the washer needs fill valve work. It only fills on warm and hot. The dryer takes 80 - 90 minutes to dry.
I had posted a thread about them on this site in 2019, if you want to look them up.
I have video clips of both operating.
I am asking $400 obo for the pair you pick up.
I am located in Missouri and willing to deliver in a certain radius for a cost that would have to be worked out.

If the dryer is taking 80 to 90 minutes to dry, either the venting is restricted or the high limit thermostat is getting weak.

I’m interested if they are still available.

Robin thanks for wanting these to go to a good home and allowing me to have them shipped. I’m grateful.

Kenny I’ve been looking hard at the logistics of the new showroom.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. What a great example of Maytag history.

I guess I need to ask, are you a museum type of guy? Everyone seems to know you well.
I happen to have them packed very well for you. I put all of the info and sprinkler inside of the washer.
Just promise not to laugh too loud when you see the cartons they are shipped in ( you will understand when you see them). It was either get rid of the w/d or get rid of the hubby. I had to keep the hubby, your gain, hehe.

Yay Melvin.

Is the paperwork in a ziplock bag? Sometimes when the washer is tipped over to be moved the paperwork gets soaked from water remaining in the machine. I know from experience. Lol! I do hope to have a showroom one day as I have many cool vintage machines.

 

[riverrat]

Yes, sealed up in a ziplock bag

Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. This is a great save, Melvin!
