[jons1077]

Looks like a nice set. I’m all filt up and it seems like a lot of nice machines are popping up. Hopefully someone wants to save these.

Decent price for "the only ones existing"....

Kenny, Perhaps what they really mean is "these are the only ones existing with a broken lid, and leaking oil". Really, for $30.00 how could you go wrong?

 

[goatfarmer]

Too far to drive, Rick!

Rick,

That pair would probably fit in the trunk of your '55.  Just sayin....

Lid is broken...lol. Couple of lids balls and it'll be good as new.

Leaking oil is a big job but a complete tear down is necessary whether it's dry or not for long term reliability and performance.

Is that a shade of yellow I'm seeing here? Being colorblind in certain spectrums doesn't help.

 

[bradfordwhite]

Oh NO-o-o, the Lids broken.  Oh darn, on a MT those are so hard to fix too.

 

Oh well, at that price....

 

Nice color.   I love the gold panel with sunny yellow AND of course...... lighted panels.   I think I would substitute the flourescent bulbs that are most likely back there for a soft series of nightlight bulbs. 

 

Is this John's next project?  The suspense is building.

troublesome link

unable to locate on that link; actual city they're located in?

 

[qsd-dan]

They were located in Woodburn, Oregon.

Somebody most likely snatched them up and the ad was taken down. Hopefully they'll reappear on the Imperial forum.

"They all leak oil, it'll run another 20 years"

They are yellow and Sold, hope someone will give them a new life.  They aren't bad cosmetically, everything else can be restored.

I only paid $30 Ford the Maytag A606 and DG606 that was converted to a DG306 earlier this year. Dryer needed a lot of work since it had some pilot light corrosion, but it’s all fixed since I painted everything and replaced all the felt seals on it. Still need some tweaking but I can’t complain since I only paid $30 for them plus $30 was a absolute score for a avocado green Maytag set that is in good condition cosmetic wise. Photo of them is in my laundry room

 

[bradfordwhite]

I really like your matching laundry room, too.  

 

$30 that's great !
