Anyone know where I can see pictures/videos of this machine? I'm kinda interested in them. I assume they are the main design that came before the classic center dials... but i don't know. | ||

History- The AMP (Automatic Model Pump) was indeed Maytag's first automatic, from 1949. That, however, is all I do know about it, except for the fact that I would love one some day, when I have the room. No, I do not have any pictures, or video! Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

101P & 102P
The 'Supermatic' 101 and the 102 were squashed in the middle - between the original AMP/A2MP and the 'All-Fabric' 140 center dialed machine. The 101P was built from 1954 through 1955 - with the 102P replacing it was produced from 1955 through early 1957. The 101P featured the rear controls and was the first Maytag to have a removable front panel. The 102P was the first Maytag with a Soak cycle and also featured the first tub light in a Maytag. The light was a lamp built into the lid. The lid had a little window in the base for the light to shine to the tub with the hatch open. Here is a picture of a 101P that needs just a little bit more before the restoration is completed. Ben
