AMP Since I was a kid I could never figure out how the lid switch worked. Thanks for the explanation. Wonderful machine. | ||

 Now THAT was cool. I am the oldest of 3 boys, born in September 1951, and this is what my mother had and used when I was born. I do not know when she purchased the washer so it could have been a 1950 or a 1951 but the appearance, features, sounds were just like this one. How well I remember the backlit "Maytag" emblem!!! And I remember the sound of the timer advancing. We kept this washer, through several moves, until in 1959 we moved into military housing that included a new Filter Flo matching pair and this washer went into the storage room. I believe we still had it in the spring of 1964 when, after dad retired from the military and we relocated, we bought a new house and this was placed back into service but was replaced by a Kenmore probably during 1965.

AMP Washer Thanks for your great video Martin, I enjoyed watching it this morning over my morning cup of tea. Your AMP is probably one of maybe only a dozen left in this great shape. The first washer my brothers and I ever restored was this model, we did this around 1966 so seeing this run brought back a lot of memories.
I think these actually spin around 600 or so RPMs and it is interesting to watch how spin drain machines often have trouble balancing a load as they drain unless the load is really packed full as seen in your video where the load was more out of balance in the first spin compared to the second. I have a late 1949 version of this washer and look forward to hooking it up again one day, Thanks again, John. | ||
