Ignoring the ugly Maytags that are featured in this next photo, you can see part of the vintage machine on the right.

That's definitely the TOL model--5 wash temp combos and 4 speed combos with panel light and wight-to-save lid.  Looks like 1965-1968 I'd guess.

Pretty sure it was the mid 70's, but I could be mistaken.

This is 1969-1974 range, it is very rare to see one of these survive as they were generally very short lived.

Here it is, they want $175 for it. I did not buy it, but I could if someone wants it and can pick up from me. It looks to be in good shape. Very slight rust under the lid on the machine. Model#LA670MXW2. Ser#LML27311. I have better photos available later.

That machine is 1969-1972 range, before that the style of the control panel looked like the what is in the 1965 service manual that was posted in the Dispenser here a month or so ago.

This one is not quite TOL as it does not have the florescent panel light.

I wish I could take it. Here is a 70's ad of the washer.
