I added another item to my "collection" today. I found this Maytag E2L wringer on Craigslist for a reasonable price. I went and looked at it and decided it needed to come home with me! It is VERY clean and only needs a minor amount of cosmetic work. I was especially attracted to the aluminum agitator and the thicker (appears to be about 1/4") aluminum tub.

Oops I'm sorry, I got discombobulated looking at this gorgeous Maytag. It is an E2L not an N. I also have an E2L. Sorry :-( | ||

Scarcely any hardwater deposits. Like it was never used. That's impossible. Unless the owner washed in vinegar.
Clear something up for me. How well I remember the 'red button' on Maytags. My toy Ideal even had a decorative one. That's the motor switch, agitator clutch, or drain? Notice on the label, it's spelled "gyratator"? I'd never seen it that way before. | ||

E2L MAYTAG WRINGER WASHER Thanks for the pictures Mark, that is really cool to see an actual cast aluminum tub in one of these WWs, I never knew they had made this model that way. You have found a real rare machine that should be preserved.
MTs first AMP automatics did the same thing where the wash tub that held the water was one piece of cast aluminum and as yours does the bottom of the tub was the top of the transmission. I can see why they changed this design for many reasons pretty quickly as you couldn't just remove the transmission and replace it with a rebuilt one very easily. And if you had any serious corrosion around the agitator shaft the repair would be very expensive as you would be replacing the whole tub. Not to mention this was a much more expensive way to build the machine in the first place as they were using twice as much aluminum.
Does anyone in the club have one of the original AMs or AMPs with the aluminum tub? I have a 1950 AMP and it already has the the dark blue porcelain coated water container. | ||
