[ovrphil]

Ad: "Older Maytag Washer Model #KA606S and Maytag Gas Dryer Model #KDG606 - Reduced price! Asking $159.00/ offers considered as well.

Offered for "re-homing", in beautiful Spanish Avocado, is a washer and dryer set purchased brand new in 1967! Washer includes extra "Suds Saver Feature". Both items have been maintained and are still functional!

Original Instruction Booklets, in near-perfect condition, are also included with both of the machines.

Washer is a "sud saver" model s/n #322789HB - UL listed 115 volt, 7.0 amps
Dryer uses natural gas s/n #735892HB - 18,000 BTU

They certainly don't make "workhorse" machines like this any more - don't miss out! My parents, the original owners, need to downsize and move to assisted living and pay some medical bills - they REALLY loved these machines - giving them up wasn't easy.

Please feel free to email me with any questions. The washer and dryer set are available with easy, drive-up access for convenient, easy pick up. CASH ONLY please!

Thanks for looking and appreciating hard-working, vintage appliances!"

The dryer needs that felt issue fixed, but otherwise these look like a steal.  I wonder if the washer got an orbital makeover at some point.

This is another scam. Guy just wants to get emails

One of the few brands where the gas dryers were slower than comparable electric models. I think gas WP-made 24" dryers had 12K BTU burners.

That set's been presented here, and on EBay for a few months. I made an offer, that wasn't accepted. I see it's still for sale.

It's not real. It only exists in the mind of the "seller". He posts things on ebay and craigslist just to stir you up. I hope nobody ever sends the loser any money for one of these bogus machines.

They are a legit set, but maybe this CL bozo pirated the info from another CL ad, or EBay.

And they're all from Illinois. Not a co-inkydink in my opinion.
