You people waving all these lighted console Maytags in my face makes me want one now! SSAAYYY! The newer Maytag in the back,is that a TOL one of the last ones before the Amana and Whirlpool switch up?
Andrew - very, very nice and CLEAN set you have there! Look to be 1972-1974 machines? Great story behind them too. And they are white!
I love that she wrote on the buttons. While not the most esthetic attempt in the world, certainly shows that she was very proud of her Maytags. Most people would have thrown them out at that point.
This is a set that I'd use as daily drivers.... (too bad though that an upgraded Neptune is soooo quiet)

Great machines. Glad you have not experienced the 'lens cover fiasco' like I did. It truly was a learing experience, to say the least.
Good luck with your new 'toys'.

I did luck out...
The set was made in late 1972. The previous owner really did take good care of these. I'm understanding that she really was quite upset over the fate of this pair. I think that once I get them cleaned up and working like a fine pocket watch, I'll take a few pictures and send them to the lady with a note assuring her that they are doing just fine and will be around for a good, long time.
Listen, Kevin. You still have me beat (granted, not by much...) partially by cornering the market in A50 washers. I will probably have to prune down a little, though. The belt drive Whirlpool set in H/G and possibly the Figidaire Jetcone set in H/G might go up on the available list...
That washer in the middle is a LAT3600AAE, one of the last Dependable Care washers in production. She was in for a tub bearing and seal job. Some people still care to invest the money in a real washer instead of buying plastic...
Steve, could you post a picture or two of that coppertone set? They must really be neat looking!
I'm going thru the set now and will have a few more pics to come.

Congratulations!
VERY nice pair. You do seem to have a knack for finding some good ones.

WOW
My grandmother had that exact set when I was growing up. She got rid of it back in 2002, like a dumb ass. I would have snatched it up from her, if I knew what the hell she was up to. Frankly, she is kinda a bitch, anyway.
I would loooove to get my hands on an 806...just like this one. However, it seems in my neck of the woods, they never, ever appear.
I have been on the search for years, and no luck. I know that I want the 806 because of the light. 
Any suggestions or anything from you guys, so I can possibly get one of these treasures for myself?
