"Interesting" Maytag set

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">This pair is on the Desert Craigslist (Palm Desert). Ad says "washer stopped". Could be minor, could mean next stop the scrap pile. Hard to tell from photo if front of washer is damaged or just dirty. That water heater installation scares me, but what da ya want for $100? I can see why the dryer is "amazing". During the summer when it's 120 degrees that outdoor location would allow you to use the "air only" setting and get pretty much the same results as "heat".</span>

$100 is a lot of money for 1/2 of a 40 year old set that's non-functional. Yeah, it's probably something simple and cheap like a lid switch but it could be as complicated and expensive as a timer (which is NLA).

I'm amazed the washer is gas-powered ...

Seems like a reasonable price to me. Split the cost and say the dryer is $75 for a working, electronic control dryer, and that's better than Craigslist average for a working dryer. And $25 for the washer in non-working condition is a good deal too - you could easily make that money back and then some by parting it out if it wasn't deemed fixable.

Maytag

So I drove down to Palm Desert and bought the dryer for the cabin. The best part was the house this couple bought this wonderful small mid century house added on to the living room and the addition was so seamless I couldn’t tell where the old house started and the new began anyway I have a few pictures they’re not very good but this couple of the great job on this house the original appliances and had a really wonderful set of wood cabinets built
