We account for experimental and observational uncertainties in likelihood analyses of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data from the MAX 4 and MAX 5 experiments. These analyses use CMB anisotropy spectra predicted in open and spatially-flat Lambda cold dark matter cosmogonies. Amongst the models considered, the combined MAX data set is most consistent with the CMB anisotropy shape in Omega_0 ~ 0.1-0.2 open models and less so with that in old (t_0 >~ 15 - 16 Gyr, i.e., low h), high baryon density (Omega_B >~ 0.0175/h^2), low density (Omega_0 ~ 0.2 - 0.4), flat-Lambda models. The MAX data alone do not rule out any of the models we consider at the 2-sigma level. Model normalizations deduced from the combined MAX data are consistent with those drawn from the UCSB South Pole 1994 data, except for the flat bandpower model where MAX favours a higher normalization. The combined MAX data normalization for open models with Omega_0 ~ 0.1-0.2 is higher than the upper 2-sigma value of the DMR normalization. The combined MAX data normalization for old (low h), high baryon density, low-density flat-Lambda models is below the lower 2-sigma value of the DMR normalization. Open models with Omega_0 ~ 0.4-0.5 are not far from the shape most favoured by the MAX data, and for these models the MAX and DMR normalizations overlap. The MAX and DMR normalizations also overlap for Omega_0 = 1 and some higher h, lower Omega_B, low-density flat-Lambda models.
