A surprising and AMAZING weekend discovery!

[revvinkevin]

Over the weekend I visited a persons home only to be surprised to see what was there! Among other collections, there were these washers & dryers, actually many more then I photographed.

The owner of these machines admitted there are too many and said he would consider the possibility (though he seemed a little reluctant...) of selling SOME machines to interested parties. He gave the the impression that NONE of the Maytags are for sale (my comment: though it might not hurt to ask) and MANY, but NOT ALL of the other machines he would take offers on.

Some of these may need some repair but we did plug in a number of them and they did work fine.

So if you have any interest please e-mail me and I will forward the info on to him.

Please remember, NOT ALL are for sale, especially the older Maytags.

And here we go......

[charbee]

oh, my...

Goin' into palpitations over those Maytags...they're all gorgeous!!!

Excellent haul! How many do you get to take/buy? I would come and get that '55 AMP (the one with the bump up controls) or the rocker switch Kenmo', but too far away. I know someone near LA who might like the gold Maytags or the 1-18...

Time to change my clothes...

I definately have an interest in the Maytags. The yellow, turqs and Amp got my attention and that pink dryer grabbed me by more than just my attention... This one would come close to fullfilling part of a wish list item! Is he SURE he doesn't want to part with just a few of those Maytags? Kevin, you need to sell him on the love those machines will get! Let me know...

I got first call on the turquoise set, though... lol

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the yellow washer looks like the one Betty Draper had on "Mad Men" no??

As I said, all (as far as I know) of the Maytag's are staying (those are his daily drivers). Also, there was at least one other Frigidaire washer there that I saw, though it was buried in a garage.

Keep in mind all of these machines need a good cleaning, some need additional TLC and a few need more work than that.

One washer I was NOT able to get a photo of because I could not access it, is a harvest gold Whirlpool PORTABLE washer. This is a FULL SIZE washer, NOT apartment size, with wheels and the controls on the front like the small portables. I don't know the year, but can find out.

Peter, I have not brought home anything yet.... but I am working on it! *wink*

RCD, I will ask about the Maytag's (never hurts to ask), but I am pretty sure that incredible pink dryer is not going anywhere (I was drooling over that one too!). Also, unfortunately the that yellow Maytag needs some major TLC. I was going to plug it in, but decided to tilt it up and try to move the belt by hand first, but it wouldn't budge, something is seized. :-(

OOPS!

Wow that's quite a collection, this person should join our club for sure.

That pink Maytag dryer looks like it could be a water condenser dryer! Very rare.

Kevin,

It appears that Robert has loaned you one of his "Magic Flutes" for finding Nice Machines . Maybe the Appliance Gods will be heading to the East Coast soon to enjoy some warmer weather that's on the way.
What a Great Bunch of Machines. Good Luck to you. Eddie

The model number of this pink Maytag dryer (yes I made note) is a 640C.

 

[revvinkevin]

Robert.......

....model 640C, does that mean it IS a condensing dryer?
