Does anyone know the model of this machine and when it would have come out? Also about how much do you think it would be worth?
Thanks!

I think its a BOL Maytag from the early 80's. I had a 1981 Maytag Fabricmatic that was I believe one step up from this and the control panel was similar to this one in your post. Mine had 4 water levels instead of the 2 on this model and the timer had a Delicate cycle in which the agitaion alternated on and off as it was only a one speed model.

Depends on condition, it could be worth as little as $20 if it is a parts donor or as much as $400 if it was just taken out of the box and is unused.

My sister & BIL had one just like this, but theirs had a medium water level button, so it was slightly higher in the line, but this particular one was maybe a bit "special" for dealers.  Eddie, if yours was 1981, then it would have had the off white/white buttons rather than these dark brown or black buttons.

Yes Bob, now that you mention it my 1981 Fabricmatic Maytag did have off white buttons. I was so excited that I recognized the machine I overlooked the color of the buttons! You've got a good eye Bob!
