It was, but in a paucity of imagination that might have presaged Maytag's demise as an independent company, they recycled the name for the top loader, distinguishing it as the Neptune TL as opposed to just the Neptune (always FL).
As for the machine, I suppose for $25 it could be a fun gizmo to tinker with. But I wouldn't necessarily expect it to work after the pump replacement. |

I think this is one of the best attempts to achieve sort of a frontloading motion in a V-axis tub. This machine deal better with gravity than all the other wash plate machines. A pity it didn't work out well. It would have been better if the wheels had turned both ways and I bet that indeed it was intended that way looking at those wheels and how they are situated in the drum. It's already a modern classic I think, similar to a bouncing basket.
