WELCOME new member "WashMeUp"!!!

He discovered this website about 2 weeks ago and signed up just over a week ago! He posted a thread asking if there were any vintage Maytags in the Phoenix area for sale and while I am not in the Phoenix area, I responded!

I happened to have an avocado Maytag 608 available AND I also just happened to be heading to Phoenix late last week, so it was just meant to be! I delivered the washer to his door and even help set it up! It's interesting that he kicked his one year old Bosch front loader to the curb (well, the garage, really).

So WELCOME Christopher and congrats on your "NEW" Maytag washer!

Kevin

BTW... here is is with his new washer!

What year?

Lovely machine, I'm not a huge fan of Maytags, but just saw a white one today in someone's driveway for $20. Should I get it? I hate to see these things end up in the crusher. If so, about what year is the vintage?

Thanks,

Todd

Hey Todd,

If you can add a photo or two, and or the model & serial numbers, we can tell you.

The green washer Christopher now has is a 1977 Maytag 608. They built this "center dial" style control panel until 1980 and then changed to the brown control panel with the timer on the right.

If you can find a vintage for $20, go for it! I would like to see a picture of it if you can get one? I am trying to find a 806.

Christopher and Sherri

First of all, I would like to say HI! and WELCOME! to the group.

Christopher, I know you will love your Maytag, I just got a Maytag 806 in Harvest Gold, and I love it! The old Newton made Maytags are the best!

Welcome to AW! Always nice to see a fresh face or two! I see a 806 set every so often. When I do, I'll post it to see if I can find them a home like I did recently with QSD-DAN. I found him a nice little Harvest Gold set. (see below...) I'll keep you in mind...
