sorry about the markings on the brochure, but it's interesting to see the dealer's pricing too...

Weren't these the 1966 dishwashers? I think that was the first year Maytag got into the dishwasher market.
Thanks for uploading, it'll be great reading.

Great scans. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Greg!
What great scans of great dishwashers!
I can't get over the small difference in price between the different models. I guess almost 40 years ago that was a big jump. The portable being the most expensive!
Love the Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne Stoneware dishes!
Thanks again for the scans.

With inflation, your cost would be:
The WU-600 TOL built-in would be $1725 today, the portable $2028 in 2010 dollars.

Oh it's Maytag's turn to do your dishes!
These are 1972, the top loader debuted in 1966, but was still out here! Thank you so much Greg for all your posts like this, they are all groovy!

Thank you for posting this, Greg!! I am inspired to 'move on' from my Westy Woes to perhaps finally get the Maytag WP600 top-load dishwasher into use!!

Very nice, Mr N.
Thanks For Posting!
Ah, the little FC5 is the best disposer I've ever used/owned. We got ours NIB in 1990 at a dealer that did a lot of contractor sales. I suspect ours was returned by a contractor who bought too many and we got it for $29. That was the best buy of our entire kitchen remodel.
When did they stop making these?

Say "Thank you" to the nice man.
Thank you!
I'm so old now that I can't remember whether I actually had this brochure at one point or not. The picture of that etched steel disposer ring struck a chord; but it might have been from a different catalog. What a great line of appliances. Why did they have to change anything?
Thank you!

MAYTAG DISPOSERS
Maytag quit making thier own disposers some time in 1994, like WP, and KA had already done. They could not compete on price or quality control of assembly with ISE. The ISEs work great but they are not as ruggedly built. In the case of the very good KA disposers WP sold the tooling to Viking and they continued make that design for another 15 years, But even the Vikings are now made by ISE but with a different fixed impeller turn table. I long said that the MT disposer was one of thier best products. In fact of the more than 30 major appliances in my primary home the only MT appliance is one of the very rare FB-5 disposers. I bought it in 1994 when I heard they were going to be discontinued, its worked well but could use a new main water seal, PT# 8-4 if any one ever comes across one I would be very grateful. The early MT disposers as pictured in the brochure had cast iron turntables and most of these actually broke where the rivets held the impellers on also the water seals all failed on these early models. But like most MT products they worked these problems out by making the turntable from stamped SS and adding a SS wear ring to the bottom for the water seal to ride on, after this we saw very few problems with the MT disposers.
