I have a 1964 Custom Highlander with this same console. Mine is a single-speed Model A300. |

The AMP had the pump, supposedly there was also an AM which lacked a pump. I have never heard of an AM being found or seen by one of us. I guess the AM worked via a gravity drain like some commercial machine. At the time of Maytag's first venture into automatic washers, many homes had wash tubs, and it was often easier (and cheaper) to get a washer with a pump and hook the drain hose such that it would drain into the tub. If this method was not used, a new drain line would have to be installed for the washer. How does the AMP perform compared to other washers? Not to distract from the subject of this thread, Dave |
