Copper Maytags Rescued

[cadman]

Hey Guys,

Just brought 'em home, a minty set of '69 coppertones! This gets me closer on my quest to collect all the Maytag colors. The controls have seen some use, but the cabinets were mint. Unfortunately we put a 1" scratch on the dryer face bringing it down the steep basement stairs so I guess the search continues for perfection : (

The dryer is a 606 and the washer is a CA206 so I'm considering upgrading the panels at some point, unless a nice 806 set follows me home ; ) The painted silver trim with blue on both are a tad cheezy but maybe they'll grow on me!

Love your Cordoba Copper Maytags Cory

Boy you and Ben are such a lucky dudes. BTW I luv your web site and the refinements you have made to it, I say refinements instead of imporvements because as far as I am concerned you can't improve what is already perfect.

Another cool find, Cory! Is there a small light above the dials? I see something there.

Cory ... those are very nice!!! Hopefully, you'll be able to put them to good use.

What other colors do you have?

-Is there a small light above the dials?

IIRC on the A206 (which my mother had) the lens is there for a pilot-light/indicator light, but no light-source behind it!

The models that DID have indicatorss would keep the light illuminated while running and as a "CLEAN" indicator until the center of the timer dial (the knob) was pushed in!

BTW,

Great machines, good luck with them, (how DO you find them?)and I disagree with you! LOL

I LIKE the colors of the control panel, the coppertone color itself however..........

Great find Cory, personally of all of the 70's colors, coppertone is my favorite. They look like they are just mint!

Boom! Got lucky today, found a replacement knob in minty shape on a not-so-minty machine. Sure, it's got the extra flash of the chrome trim ring, but now it'll match the 606 dryer.

Bonus score: a very nice California Gold washer front just in case someone ever needs one.

FAB FINDS!!

Hi Guys

Really cool looking machines, you certainly are finding some beautys at the moment...

Does this washer have the dark blue tub?? I also agree that the coppertone really sets these machines up.

Happy hunting

Glad one of our members got a copper set

Tried to get a 606s but could not get to it

Thanks for the kudos guys, it's appreciated!

Yes, this one has the dark blue tub and as I found out, the pilot light is indeed faux : )

Patrick, thanks for the kind words on my website, I still need to add a decent washer page but have been getting some positive feedback on the Radarange listing...just not enough time in the day!
