Wow, those are in much better shape than they appeared to be in the CL ad!
We may need to start a "Find of the Month" thread here!

Very nice! Very clean! Im falling over at the price they paid for them. Almost 43 years old from the "paid" date.

Incredible machines! How I would love to help restore those classics to their original glory. It's ironic; Maytag washers have outlived the Maytag company.
Be careful cleaning that lint filter; it's not as hardy as the later versions. Soak the BOTTOM MESH PART ONLY in some Lime-Away overnight being very careful not to let any of the acid get on that beautiful chrome cap. Hot water and a brush should then do the rest easily.
If you have time, would you be able to post a couple of close-up pics of the gas flame emblem on the control panel and the model plate on the gas dryer?

They don't get much better than this. Congrats on a great find!
The price paid in May of '67 is considerably less than what the washer and dryer retailed for. Must have been friends of the dealer

I have the exact same set with the electric dryer. Does yours have the tub light?
Good for you
Great find, congratulations. BAJA's advice on the filter is correct, keep the silver part dry but soak the bottom in Lime-Away or CLR, and I used a fingernail brush and pushed through the holes, got out TONS of ugly fine crap. Now, a two-second rinse under the faucet after each wash keeps it spotless. And it does a fine job, lots of lint.
I happen to have a Halo-Of-Heat service manual, up to DG700 and 701, only slightly before your machine. If it can be of help, feel free to ask--
Congrats on your new find, solid and responsible machines. And a matched set!

Tub light looks great! I noticed the water levels were "small" "medium" and "large". The tub size looks like extra large capacity. I'm wondering if Maytag changed the water level settings in later years for the same size tub....
