I found this on Craigslist and was interested in the set. the seller wants 295 for the pair but has no information to offer about them. can anyone tell me their age/dependability or if this is a good price before I make this purchase.
Any Details?

Without looking at my brochures saved on my computer, I cant tell you WHICH model they are, but they look from the x10 series which is about 1979/80-ish to around 1985.
The washer I think is a Fabric-matic single speed, not sure capacity, and the dryer looks more TOL to me.
These should be very dependable machines, and if youre willing to put some work in, they will be VERY dependable machines. If you rebuild them completely, they will last another forty years.

Maytag!
The washer looks more like the smaller capacity fabric matic maybe A310 or A209 the dryer looks to be the 510 or 710 model??

I agree with Pete! The dryer is very A510.
The washer? I wonder if its a early series x11 or A282-like machine? A builder model?

Here are some oddball Maytags:
I think these were sold as "builder's models". From bizarre brochure deduction, I think these were all from 1989. We start with an A884 a better than the TOL model but featuring a BOL blue style tub rather than a TOL style white one:

I have a Maytag model A282 that looks exactly like this one. I got mine at a restore and have only replaced the belts and the water inlet valve. Mine says "Large Capacity" which i think is about 12 - 14 lbs capacity. Runs great even with a full load of towels or jeans. No squeaks, groans, or moans, just clean Laundry. Built like a tank and runs like one to.
