Great set of Maytags. I love my Maytag washer, it's one of the best washers I've ever owned.

UPGRADE....
no one has to UPGRADE to get help here, we love offering, and getting the advice we need....
it does seem to tick a number of members for some of the people signing in, barely filling out their profile, and then expecting help.....especially when their only here to get a price quote for a rusted wringer that they think is worth GOLD, that their trying to sell......think reality, people!.....we are thankful for ones who post that they have a vintage machine, and someone here may be interested in....thinking their gonna get rich because we collect such items, your in the wrong boat!
I for one, am glad for this site and its members....the whole idea is getting lost in a hobby we enjoy....it does not matter if your a paid member or not.....if your using this site for other purposes, your missing out on a hell of a lot!...
sorry for the rant....its just something that is talked about outside of these walls.....and should be addressed

Heavy Duty decals
Asmost of us here know, HEAVY DUTY was a term Westinghouse began using as a selling point for their Laundromat washers. Maytag began sending decals to stores to peal and stick to their larger capacity washers anddryers to try and compete with the rest. I remember back in 1971 going to Luskin.s and seeing their replacing a pile of the strips on yhe counter demanding that Jack stop throwing them away and place them on the product instead.

Whirlpool and Frigidaire also used "HEAVY DUTY" in the seventies. Whirlpool had it stamped on some of it's washer and dryer handles (large capacity models?).
Strangely, (or maybe not!) Frigidaire wrote "HEAVY DUTY" on all their 27" washer consoles in the mid seventies, but not on any of their matching dryers...

TOO many machines sported the HEAVY DUTY label, of which salesmen claimed these machines were built better, with heavier suspensions, bigger motors, more solid trannies and such......
Can anyone tell the difference between a regular machine, and one that is Heavy Duty?......no such thing, their all the same
