1965 Maytag set

[repairguy]

I was surprised to run across this beautiful Maytag set on marketplace yesterday and because it’s Maytag month I felt obligated to give them a new home. The washer was built in February and the dryer in September 1965. I was told they were in use until maybe a year ago. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of extra time at the moment and the weather is rainy so I put them straight into storage. It was late when I got them home last night and I didn’t think about getting some good pictures until after putting them away. The photos from the listing will have to suffice for now. This set is in pretty good cosmetic condition for being 60 years old.

Washer model: CA702 Serial: 225173QD

Dryer model: CDG750 Serial: 765376QW

Nice set! You sure like coppertone Maytag TOL's!

Very nice set. I have the same set (push button dryer and center dial washer) but in turquoise.

I always liked the conteol panels a little better on these than the 66 redesign. It makes the machine somehow look more sturdier with these panels.

Maytag fun!

Beautiful set! The unshaded coppertone on Maytag's helps make these look even more stately.

Thanks for saving the set and sharing with us!

Aferim!

I always thought this was the best combination: an A702 for all the features plus the versatility the 902 doesn't have and the 90 dryer that is, I believe, the same as the 702 dryer only with pushbuttons instead of a dial.

 

Enjoy them in good health!

Great score!  I think that color is "Cordoba" or something like that, and a fairly rare one.  

 

I've never been much of a fan of these TOL models due to the lack of user control over certain washer functions, but I can see how an all-buttons panel wouldn't be so bad for the dryer.

Congrats!

I love the child killer door latch on those older dryers!

Thanks for the positive comments! It still amazes me, and I’ve said it numerous times, that these vintage machines can still be found 60 years later in good condition. Especially in southeast Texas.

Both appear to be low use or extremely well taken care of. Hopefully they go into a storage facility with A/C.
