It might be possible, with a digital SLR camera with a close up lens, to take a close-up of label and then "blow it up" and then even make a photocopy of the picture of the label.
Now I'm REALLY Tag Happy:

Congrats they are a great find!
Dude,
"All gas Maytag dryers I've seen have the panel on the lower left side."

Don will be home any minute.
Well, I've taken GregM's advice again and filled the machine with warm water and have allowed it to sit and warm up for several hours to moisten seals, warm gears, etc. Am now going downstairs to do a Mrs. Draper, so y'all won't hear from me for a while. Unless, of course, the damn thing don't work. Keep your fingers and whatever crossed.
Thank you all for your good wishes and for your inspiration. Never thought I would drive 400 miles for an old washer and dryer, but for the first time since I joined this group, I feel like I caught a catch. I will keep you posted. I really feel like I have to go out and buy a box of regular Tide for this beauty's maiden wash. Probably go to the Dime store and buy a bag of Chinese Tide with Phosphates(and tainted with G-d knows what). But, tomorrow IS another day. Exit, stage Mergatroid.

Well with a beautiful pink Maytag washer like that Ken, you'll have no need for Don Draper anymore LOL.

Ooooh nice catch indeed - those are beautiful 'Tags! You're going to have the most stylish laundry room in the neighborhood!
Woo hoo Ken. Congratulations. Yes sir, turqoise and pink, definitely nice looking combination!!
Very nice set you got there!!!
I have a parts list breakdown for my 1964 DE-750 dryer, which is the exact same as your 700 with the exception of pushbutton control panel. If you need any part #’s or have any questions, feel free to ask away!
The best thing about owning a vintage Maytag is that there are still plenty of parts available. On top of that, there are plenty of technicians around who have the tools and know-how about them in case you get caught in a bind. Neither is the case with my 63 Frigidaire washer that I recently acquired

This just keeps getting better and better...
The safety lid switch on the washer is one of the few things that isn't working, thus my shock and surprise upon examining the sticker in more detail. Good thing I was taught how to read 44 short years ago. Will post a pic when I find the bulb and get the thing working:

Ken, nice pair!
Great shape, too. The dryer lint filter parts should not be hard to find. Be aware it looks like you are missing the wire screen that goes over the spider, too. That's important to have as well. You can probably get a new plastic replacement. Note that the original screens were metal as well, not poly like the one in your pics. The electronic control 700 was one of the best HOH dryers ever made, IMHO. The washer is awesome, too.
