I narrowed my A300 down to 1964. It's the single-speed version with the same looking console.

Dates ...

Jimmy ... I think the washer is from September 1963 if the end of the serial number is "LW".

I can't make out the end of the serial number on the dryer, however.

Wow, those are some really classy machines, congrats!

They look great, Jimmy

That little crown on the dial in the rinse cycle--is that when the spray rinse starts or is it the start of the rinse fill. Unfamiliar, so I'd like to know if all Vintage Tags have a full minute long spray rinse, and is that one of the reasons why you guys love them so much?

Congrats..

Love that set, so beautiful!!!

Beautiful. Can we see the inside of the dryer, please?

Nice Super Highlander set Jimmy! The wash tub looks mint.

Michael, the "crown" as you call it, is a one timer increment for the spray rinse. There is like one minute or two minutes of more spinning after that. Then the increment which stops spin (I think I remember that right) then it starts filling and after one increment then the timer turns off until water level switch has been satisfied.

Simply, well Simple

Hi Jimmy,

That is a great set and looks like they will just keep on working for a long long time. Clean, simple, and dramatic. Well, 2 out of 3.

Hope to see you soon!

BTW EMP, Id like to know what you are pointing to "over there"......could it be a Maytag?

Nice set you have their Jimmy, nice and simple but Maytag quality through and through. They will just go about their duty quietly and non complaining. I noticed that the cord for powering the washer comes out by the water inlet hoses. How odd that Maytag would do that(god forbid you open the lid and see what is going on inside HA HA) you would think that Maytag would have had the power cord away from water as power and water don't mix. But I guess it all worked out ok. The HOH dryer may be a bit slow (4800 watts ??)on drying but what the heck, everything else today goes by too darn fast anyway. Enjoy them!

Oh Jimmy, what great shape. I might have some of those buttons to replace the ones you have. I will check.

Hi Steve and Doug, I knew you guys would like this set! They sure are solid Maytag quality. The first thing I did when I got the washer was to bypass the lid switch so I could see all the dramatic Maytag wash action! In a similar fashion to the dryer, this washer is exceptionally quiet. Got to love that silent tub brake on the washer! No loud bang or clunk like the GE's or Norge's...... When you see a set like this you realize the criminality of modern "Maytags" and other modern washers......and you realize there is no substitue for quality....

Still learning

Are these helical drives? if so what was the name of the transmission used right before the helical?
