Against those that came before and after... I see these often selling for a very resonable amount (as you see here), are they unsung heroes wrongly over shadowed by their center dial predecessors? CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK on Albany Craigslist |

I'm pretty sure that's a direct drive washer, which some here consider an improvement over its helical/pitman predecessors, but you won't get the long stroke agitation from it and the associated rhythmic indication of superior build quality.
Personally, I have no interest in a vintage Maytag that goes chik-chik-chik just like a modern day GE or Whirlpool. |

Its a helical drive with the orbital (short stroke) gear case. Should be a very good machine. Black panel models are 1990 through 1993. |
