A New Arrival at IDA's Home for Wayward Vintage Appliances

[hoover1060]

Hmmm wonder what could be in these boxes?? Well whatever they are, Ida has trusted me to help unpack and to reveal the newest arrivals.

I never would have believed it...

If I had not seen them with my own eyes. Absolutely beautiful machines!!!
Congrats Fred!
For the record, Fred is relegating his neptune set to the basement, and this set will go into his laundry room. I am looking forward to seeing these beauties run!

Hmm, Greg getting rid of two complete matched sets so far. Wonder what's up his sleeve.

Those are gorgeous!

Did you guys figure out where the timer-advance button for the washer is? Although in the rear, still takes a bit of effort to find...

Enjoy them in good health!

Is the dryer G or E?

Hey, congrats! Yours look to be in much better condition than mine.

They Are Beautiful!!

The dryer is electric and I am having my contractor wire the laundry room for 220V and the basement for gas for the Neptune dryer. Well worth it. This makes my third set. Then there is the wringers, the dishwashers and the vacuums. This truly is an illness. But a very happy illness. I couldn't be more thrilled. These beauties are literally brand new.

[brettsomers]

those Maytags are Flawless!

 

[urarachu]

Wow!

So pretty! Much cooler and more interesting than my Maytag! Good finds!

 

[foraloysius]

Congratulations with those pretty machines. And happy laundering!

 

[brettsomers]

is there a GENEROUS soul out there that is willing to post a scan of the manual, perhaps the section where an explanation of each buttons function is given? i generally prefer to be in complete control of my machines function, but i really like the way Maytag provided for possible washes with different buttons.

Congratulations! I think this is the appliance-dom equivalent of Nirvana. I still remember the first time I saw these machines in person at Macy's in 1969--they were like large porcelain enameled jewels.

Maytag's designers understood the power of simplicity better than any other maker. These have the intelligent bleach dispenser that waits for the last minutes of the wash cycle.

Oh, Fred-

What beauties!

Congratulations Fred------those are a great pair. ALSO unique (unless Greg changed it back) in that the washer is on steroids-------the slightly faster agitation and spin speeds are pretty cool.

 

[swestoyz]

Fred, these are breath taking machines - what a way to jump start your collection! Most quickly fell in love with these last summer at the convention, I included! You will have NO problem wasting many fun hours with these ~ Enjoy,

Ben
