Hi fellows, neat site you have going on here. I feel as if I have found a whole new world, who knew there were others out there that had the same idea as me? O:
So anyhow, my 4-5 year old washer has had issues it's entire short life. A thread on another forum caused me to look on Craigslist for old Maytags, so I was browsing through ads of older Maytags when I saw this set that for all the world looked just like the ones my parents had when I was a child. I grew up with them, learned how to wash on them, and they lasted forever too....
I don't know exactly what model I grew up with, but the washer I just bought is LA107A and the dryer LDE309. Can anyone tell me anything about them?
It's night here, and it was dusk when I picked them up, so I haven't seen them in the light of day, but from what I can tell from flashlight they are in pretty good shape. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. They belonged to an older fellow who had recently passed. I bought them from the person who bought the house. At $80 for the pair I don't think I could have gone wrong. I didn't see them run but the guy said they had used them before they installed theirs and they ran great. Who knows though. (;
Stay tuned for more!

Cheers!
Matthew
