Congrats on some nice machines! Those are some of the most commonly seen models around here. Single speeds were very popular for the homeowner who didn't care for all the options in the washer yet wanted a few for the dryer. Very clean! Make sure you check your dampers as a preventative on the washer...

I loves me some center dial Maytags! You have a pair of beautiful machines that will provide you with many years of enjoyment combined with reliable service and the associated soundtrack of superior build quality.

Congratulations Tim, great finds and I`m sure you will enjoy them!! all you need now is a pair of front loading Maytags!!
I love the rythmical sound of the tags, very gentle & soothing, not like the porta spinner...Lol

Thanks
Thanks everyone for the comments, I am really thrilled with these. They are no perfect, small things to work out on the washer and dryer, but they work and are a great example of how far a little care can go in the long run.
John, I'm posting the "other" find now, I had to get the pics off my camera as I didn't have that handy when I posted the Maytag pics, which I posted from my phone.
Martin, yes, it's a nice machine for a 1-speed, I was surprised that it was a 1-speed in fact. As I said earlier, it's a very versatile 1-speed machine, and the cycle modifier buttons are a neat way to do this. The Perm. Press cycle is very interesting.
Mike, Happy belated birthday and yes, compared to the porta-washer (which I also have) these are like Cadillacs. The washer is very smooth and I like the sound it makes. I bypassed the lid switch so I could study the wash action, and it's very reminiscent of the wringer action with the "wave". It also has no issues turning over a load. I washed a large fleece blanket in it and it had no issue whatsoever, but as I recall the GE FF did have some issue with it.
Ralph, I intend to enjoy these for a while. They will be daily drivers for 2 people and I feel that they would have any issues out of the norm.
Tom, the case with the portables partially stemmed from space, but mostly it's my preference, I like smaller machines for some reason. I think the 24" machines are just neat or twin-tubs.
Andy: I will be chatting with you very soon! Thanks

Lovely set there Tim, good luck with 'em.

Those are SPECTACULAR looking machines. Best part of this thread is how happy you seem with them! Its neat how one person's discard is another's treasure. I am sure we all know that here many times over.
I'm really glad you've got a full-size set now to use, and glad that you gave an MT set a GREAT home!
Congrats, and many happy uses with them Tim!

Sweet!
Absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful find! I love the auto-dry indicator settings written on the dial. And a versatile washer.
