If you run out of space you could do a pair of multicolored

 

 

~ John, I like that idea!   Here at work we used to have a yard car which was used to test different paint colors, durability, etc and EVERY single body panel on the car was a different color!   We used to call it "the clown car" LOL.

 

This is the turquoise set I had before Drew and is gang of 10.... er... 20... yeah, that's it... his gang of 20 hoodlums surrounded me, pointing their big knifes... er.. guns... yeah, that's it... pointed their big guns at me, then tied me up, gagged me and stole my beautiful turquoise Maytag washer & dryer!   They threatened me and told me not to call the cops... er... the feds.... yeah, that's it... told me not to call the feds or the jig would be up and they'd come back and hurt me... er... murder me... yeah, that's it... they'd come back and murdelize me!

Its obvious you are fantasizing for Charcoal these days. We all know MT and KN didnt make Charcoal back in the way back days. There, there take a nerve pill have a snooze and call us in the morning!

Nice set Kevin but I know you had these hiding out back in the cement pond while we were all there, I peeked up your skirts!!

runninggggggggggggggggggggggg
 
They are Fabulicious.  I agree with getting the complete set.

 

And a backdrop of candy cane strips would pull it together. 

 

I like these colors.  So much better than the gray and toast of the mid 80s.  blah

 
 
They look fantastic, Kevin!

That really is quite a line up you have there. But what's up with that yellow dryer with a 'look at me' complex trying to hog all the attention. I agree with Eric. It really needs to be knocked down a peg or two.;-)

I had a lot of fun picking these up and bringing them back home with me. Everywhere I went with them in the back of my truck, people stared. You'd think they'd never seen a fifty two year old pink washer and dryer before. Thankfully, the trip home was uneventful, though when we spent the night in Redding, I woke up several times and couldn't get back to sleep until I'd looked outside to see that they were safe. Now that you have them cleaned up, polished up, and powered up, all I can say is WOW, those are pretty. Congratulations for nabbing such a stellar set, and hopefully you'll find the hoses you need for the washer quickly. I'd really like to see that running.

P.S. It's very interesting to see the subtle differences in the sheet metal between the older and newer models in the line up, something that could easily go unnoticed otherwise.
 
 

 

THANK YOU Gary, Paul, Les, Mike, W. Keith, John, Darren, Eric, Doug, Jon, Todd, Mark, Geoff, Erik, Leon, Jim David & John, for your very kind comments!

 

~ Eric & David: The yellow dryer is on the optional platform, you know like the new FL machines offer so you don't have to bend down so far....... um, not buying it?   OK, it's on stilts and I forgot to remove them?   Still not buying it?   OK, how about I just didn't bother to lower the legs before taking the photos?   LOL

 

~ Kelly: This washer is nearly identical to the pink Maytag I grew up with.   The difference being ours was an A700, meaning it had the auto/cold rinse knob on the top of the control panel (that and it was a year or two newer then this one).

 

~ Ben: Only a few shades away from crazy??   WOW that is TOO FUNNY!   LOL  (but probably not far from the truth!)  LOL

 

I was quite excited when all this came together, but it really hit me once they were in my garage!   YAY!

The terq Maytags and the great escape from Kevin's compo

It was the stuff of legend! You can still hear the story reverberate around the empty halls of Newton... Jacqui and I had come to Kevin's Big Wash In a while back and I saw those terq Maytags. I just had to have them! So, I looked for a group of hired thugs. All I could find was some Oompa Loompas who were staying at the Queen Mary for a Willy Wonka reunion. Time was short, so I hired them. They cost only half of regular thugs, anyway...

I got half of them to hold Kevin down while the rest loaded up the Maytags. In my haste to escape Kevin's high security washer compound, I was forced to leave the avacado GE's, a set of harvest gold Frigidaire's and a little Hitachi/GE portable washer! In retrospect, I should have taken my time as Kevin seemed to strangely be enjoying being held down by the Oompa Loompas but that's another story, possibly for the Dirty Laundry area... Anyway, he still has all that laundry. Holding it hostage. And now, he increased the security by getting that big, mean attack dog - Westie. Don't let the pearls fool you! That dog's dynamite! I ended up paying my thugs only half the money as they got only half the job done but in only half the time. Turns out a couple of them never came back. Kevin, are you holding them hostage in a closet or shoebox somewhere?
