My weekend trip to Phoenix

[revvinkevin]

In the very recent past I have posted threads saying "Am I going nuts?" or "They need to lock me up" because I have been bring home so many washers and so fast, that I think I have lost my mind.

Well, I think what I did this past weekend secures all this. Yes I rented a pickup and drove 370 miles (one way) from LA to Phoenix (in the rain) to pick up some laundry equipment.

So here they are all wrapped up like Christmas presents, loaded in the truck and secured. It's a good thing I wrapped them in plastic because they sat out in the rain all night and were rained on for about half of the drive back to LA.

Any guesses in what they are? Hint: if you've been paying attention the last week or so, you should have a good idea.

The machine sitting on the drivers side front corner is a Maytag. The front panel, gray foot, and side panel with 3 screws on the bottom is a dead giveaway. Wonder if you got an 806/906 set in there?

 

[golittlesport]

I know but I'm not telling...

 

[revvinkevin]

Yes the one the the left front corner is a Maytag.... but what are the other two??

I know my hint was a bit vague... but I don't want to give away too much!

Any guesses smaller item wrapped in gray in the right corner?

A Whirlpool with electronic controls.

Well one of the packages looks like an Easy washer w/spinner. But the other hmmm...could be a Whirlpool or Whirlpool built washer...or it could be a dryer....

 

[revvinkevin]

Oh... the suspense!

Good guess ChesterMikeUK, however I ALREADY have Universal wringer AND the Norge gas dryer... I don't need more of the same.... (well maybe), but no that is not it!

Mike (nmaineman36) An Easy with a spinner, huh? Hmm.... wow, that is a great guess actually!

 

[revvinkevin]

Actually an excellent guess!

 

[qsd-dan]

WOW!

That Easy is in great condition!

 

[revvinkevin]

[No message]

 

[revvinkevin]

And for QSD-Dan, the mystery man........

OK.... OK.... OK.... as much as I would like to see how long I can keep you guessing......

Here are the other two!

 

[qsd-dan]

NIIIIIICE!!!

Are those Almond? LA-806/LDE-808?

 

[revvinkevin]

Maytag 806 washer & an 808 dryer!!!

The washer is a series 2, with a serial number of 738556 EA

And the electric dryer has a serial number of 594837 CX

WOW!!! Now I have a VERY nice matched set!!!

Thank you James (Jimmyb) for holding them for me!!! (and the Easy too!)

 

[revvinkevin]

YES, almond!!

And they are in VERY good condition!!! I was going to say "wow I have a matched set now..." but I actually have 3 matched sets!

This Maytag set, the 1980 Kenmore belt drive washer and matching gas dryer, and the 1994 White-Westinghouse FL set!

Now all I have to is run connections (electric & gas) so I can use the dryers too!

 

[a440]

Wow!

Kevin your collection is growing day by day it seems!
The Maytag's are beautiful! The Easy is just minty looking!
Glad you had a safe trip!
Thanks for the pictures.

VERY NICE... TAGS, they look like you just took them out of the boxes.

Great haul

The Maytags are beautiful. Lucky find.

But the Easy Spindry is fantastic. It's about the same year as mine. And those are the MOST fun machines to use. They do a great job. And there's nothing wrong with having fun while you're getting your job done. You'll love it.
