I just got this pink Maytag set, over the weekend. I was told they are from 61. The dryer works. I haven't tested the washer yet.
Pretty in pink

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Those Maytag Highlanders look great. I'm trying to develop a taste for pink. Like so many colors, I think it was more popular several years ago.</span>
Nice looking set! I saw so many of these around farm country over the years growing up. My grandmother had a two speed version of the washer. Yours was certainly well used, don't often see the basket that worn away, but that's easily remedied. Have fun with them, color in a Highlander is kind of rare. Good luck!
If you de-select the "Automatic" button, a wringer will pop out of the side

What a great find!

Congratulations, Justin! The Highlander pair sure looks good next to the turquoise set. Is that the original agitator?
Congratulations!
I have the model below this with just the hot warm and cold selector buttons. It was as little as Maytag offered in an automatic, but it was in very good condition. It sits next to the A806. After the motor went out, Jeff installed a two speed motor and put a toggle switch on the back of the control panel. Mine has the original dark blue porcelain tub. The machine originally had a narrow post Gyrator. I run a black polypropylene power fin agitator in it with the stainless steel lint filter and fabric softener dispenser without the black plastic cup. Once agitation starts I pour the measured bleach down through the softener dispenser followed by a pint of hot water for safe bleach dispensing.

Turquoise is my favorite color but I love any of the rounded control Maytags with the gray dial. My great-grandmother had a white one, not sure of the model but I know it had rounded corners and a dark dial, not like my mother's with the white dial and square corners.
MOST EXCELLENT.....JUSTIN!
They look awesome, and right at home
next to the turquoise set.
Good luck.

Nice looking sets. The tub looks more like chemical damage than wear. I know if you put baking soda and some other powders too, as additives, it will attack the porcelain enamel on tubs. At the shirt laundry we used "sour", which eliminated the soap content in the rinse and that destroyed the porcelain on the tubs of washers too. I learned that by experience unfortunately. It made a washer tub like sandpaper first and then it removed the porcelain to the point of rusty metal underneath.[this post was last edited: 9/14/2017-11:57]
