Sunny yellow in the living room!

This is the Maytag set from Bloomington.  Ray came by today and helped get them inside.  They appear to be in great shape.  Ray popped the lid and lost the balls.  I have lots of parts on order.  I don't see any sign of the transmission leaking below.

Looks good, Travis! Are you going to run the drain hose through the floor?

 

[travis]

No, Kenny.

 

I am going to wait until more men come over to take them to the basement.  At least they're not on the truck anymore.

They look great!

Interesting -- to me, anyway -- to see a Maytag washer of that age with a white tub.  I thought that was something Maytag didn't offer until the extra-large tubs came along.

White Tub

I remember as a kid my Mom having this same era washer... not nearly as high end as this but from same time and it had a white tub also.

I don't recall a Maytag Automatic with a blue tub until '66.

Beautiful set Travis. Some Meguires Cleaner Wax will have those looking like new!

Yes all Maytags Had White Tubs

From the first AM-AMP models, The dark blue tub models did not show up till the 06 series machines.

What a beautiful set! And in Sunny Yellow, no less. I think they should stay in the living room for all to see and admire! Congrats!

I am going to light the console later tonight.

Those look lovely! I love yellow on a Maytag, especially with a shine on the basket like that. Congrats.

Maytag used lots of dark blue - why just the other day...

New Maytag A102 Washer in Bristol, TN

The shinny tub certainly looks unused. I'd suspect the oil in the transmission isn't in the best of shape, but they are only new once! The QZ serial number puts it December 1965. This would be one of the last 02 series machines made, and it possibly has a poly agitator (I know the wringers...

So white came first?   That seems so backward to me.  Why did Maytag even bother to roll out the dark blue?  Was it cheaper to produce?  It certainly was less attractive, IMO.

The lights work!

Have a good time with your new Maytag's.  Very nice machines.

Aferim!

I'm glad you saved these! Beautiful machines and that Dryer, IMO, has the best control than any other HOH dryer.

Sunny Yellow is my favorite color - even more so than pink. i have this same Maytag washer (a 1962 model) in chocolate brown. The only difference is mine doesn't have the rotary switch for the spray rinse temperature.
