I too have owned their products since the 60's. I moved in 2004 to a new
place, gave away the old machines (left them behind) and purchased a set
from "Home Depot".
While they have the name "Admiral" on them they are MFG'D by Maytag.

Actually, they are made by "Admiral", a division of Magic Chef, which is a
division of Maytag. People wouldn't buy an "Admiral" until the salespeople
started telling customers that they were actually made by Maytag. And the
last I heard, end of October, Maytag was being bought by Whirlpool but since
I've been on vacation for 6 weeks and avoiding serious news, I don't know if
that deal went through.
