When

did Maytag stop using the dark dials and buttons like above and change to white?  I personally like these the best.  My great grandmother had a white one with this dial on it and the rounded off cabinet.  To me it just looks classier.

Maytag switched to the white buttons with the introduction of the 06 series machines. I believe that happened in 66. Like you I prefer the more vintage look of these older machines with the rounded corners, and these are absolutely beautiful examples in a very rare color.[this post was last edited: 3/27/2016-02:50]

That's a fantastic score you made on those tags and they look like they're really in great shape.

Also love how you placed them next to your Lady K's. Did you reverse the lid on the Lady or did she come to you that way? That's not normally how you see those.

What a great pair of washers! That's the Maytag I liked. My Mom had that Lady Kenmore washer set I the 1960's her set was from 1962 the year before I was born. They had the washer set until 1981...don't make them like that anymore!...

Washdaddy: I did reverse the lid on the Lady Kenmore washer. When we were using it as our daily machine, at our old house, it worked better for us.
