Go get it! It's in Cincinnati. I may be able to store for a short time if necessary.

Economy of Scale???????????????????? Its hard for me to believe that making a special machine with the alien finishes and writing specs for a no neck agitator pencil out to a cost savings in production. This machine is a cool but very odd duck. | ||

BASIC MT WRINGER WASHER There would be a small cost saving by not doing a full white 2nd porcelain coat of enamel on the wash tub. I also believe that this model always came without a lid and water pump. But this was done mostly as a marking gimmick to get people into the store with a low advertised price on a NEW MAYTAG WRINGER WASHER for only $129.95. Most manufacturers did this to get people into the showrooms, but for Maytag this was an especially important tactic because they were trying to sell an expensive product that was overpriced to begin with. Maytag fought for years for so called [ fair trade ] laws that allowed manufactures to set retail selling prices until the Supreme Court finally struck these anti-competitive laws from the books. I don't think any of us would want to go back those days, but I would hate to see how the current right wing controlled court would decide this issue today. | ||

 Lacking in performance is right, in addition to the no-shaft Gyratator, the wringer rolls were of the balloon type and extracted less water than their solid counterparts. I have seen these with a lid, perhaps that was "optional extra"?

Balloon type wringer rolls Good heavens, Greg, do you mean that these were subject to a dangerous blow out during wringing if, say, a zipper tongue were to pierce a roll, causing the wringer to go out of control? Were they under high pressure? Did they ever go flat? | ||

I love how the instruction booklet that came with Maytag's wringer machines make no reference whatsoever to the NX model.
I think when Greg was referring to the balloon type rollers he meant that they were made of a softer type of rubber material, and therefore less effective at water removal.
I know that model N2L's were 15 gallon capacity machines, so did the NX models have the same capacity? | ||

a shutdown of the non-governmental type. Click.....
Here's the memory. I'm a single digit, 8, 9, give or take, and I'm over at a friend's house in the basement. The machine has the Maytag characteristics, but when I open it, I see a black no-neck. I remember the distinct shock of seeing my first agitator without a neck, an impeller. My memory of Robert's see-thru tub to gyrator is active, but it was a good guess. Appreciate the help. | ||
