Does anyone know ABSOLUTELY or POSITIVELY sure whether there IS or NOT a size difference between these two tubs? I thought the blue tubs were smaller. |

The blue is nice but, is one deep tub bigger than the other. Tuesday I measured an A510 blue deep tub and it was 21" wide. But, I was told the white deep tub measured 21 1/2 to 21 3/4" wide. |

Dan, you have a couple of Magtag white deep tub washers. What about it, are the white tubs 21 1/2" or 21 3/4" wide? |

My A206 is the dark blue, small tub, in the 60's there were A106's that were dark blue with a white spreckle on them. In the beginning were all of the big tubs white, to create the illusion of bigger? alr2903 |

What "high fin agitator" in an older machine? |

Ditto.
Some of the lower-end MOL's in the Eighties had blue tubs...it was as if they were identifying the white porcelain tubs as a "deluxe" feature. TOL 'tags in the early sixties had white porcelain tubs that were identical in size to the A206 "regular" sized tubs. They're interchangeable. What I don't know is whether the white tubs have an extra coat of porcelain sprayed onto them making them a little more durable. The "elders" would probably know this. |

The "High Fin" agitator was the design that Maytag first called the Gyrator and then later the Lint Filter Agitator. They were first red Bakelite, then black Bakelite. In the wringer washers they were even eventually made out of turquoise polypropylene. |

Both tubs measured out the same. I already knew the answer though as both white and blue tub machines use the same tub cover clamp and seal. Even the small tubs use the same clamp and tub cover seals as the tall tubs.
I highly doubt Maytag would have bothered to design a different tub with such slight dimensional changes. |
