 The shinny tub certainly looks unused. I'd suspect the oil in the transmission isn't in the best of shape, but they are only new once! | ||

Kenny I don't know where the 1972 fits in! As you already know, that one dates to the sixties! The seller must be confused. Laundress---- I've been in the basement trying to figure out where to put it. 😳 | ||

Just hope someone moves on this machine.
Hate to see the thing land into the hands of someone who will promptly abuse the thing.
We all know, but not many otherwise that even NIB washing machines have to be carefully coaxed into life after sitting for decades. Often simply plug in and play just won't do. By the way what would be the matching dryer to this washer? | ||

This is the last thing I need right now  ...but this was, I believe, the first Maytag I ever saw and I'd love to have a Maytag with the speckled porcelain tub. It was one of many automatic washers in our apartment complex, Peter Cooper/Stuyvesant Town (a wonderful "project" that was built by Metropolitan Life{when corporations actually cared about their employees} for their WWII vets and their families in the mid Forties) that was installed on casters so the tenants could wheel it away into a closet (gives you an idea how generous the closets in these apartments were) when the supers or other agents came through. Our friends Jerry and Florence Simon had this machine and, like all of us, they'd hook a special hose connected to both the HOT and COLD inlets to the faucet of this wonderful farm sink that all the apartments had with one regular sink and an extra large and deep sink (that I suppose was what they planned for hand-washing laundry).
This machine fascinated me as a kid because the machines I knew were Filter-Flo's and Whirlpools. This Maytag was very quiet and had this same diminutive agitator that became buried under the suds after the machine filled; the wash water looked to be agitating itself during the cycle.
What a beautiful specimen but is it worth close to 1K when all is said and done? Do any of you know what year this was produced?

Oh Nemesis: ... there's one I won't be competing with you for. What do you like about that year's model?? Support your answer with examples and photos.
... and, yes, I owe you and Eddie correspondence. No excuse other than dementia and laziness.
Here's what I'd like to find NOS and inside their shipping crates:

I have seen members travel farther, for less....
sometimes a 2 or 3 day excursion....sleeping along side the road....and still trenching on... it would take some doing, but how hard would it be to actually get this?...if you want it bad enough, distance is only a number..... make an adventure out of it, and visit some members along the way..... not only from the machine, but think of the story of your road trip to acquire this gem....... | ||

Bruce, my 1964 Highlander has metal hinges, however I am sure the upper models had switched to nylon by then. | ||

I do have a question though, when did Maytag go to the lid using the nylon balls to hold it in place? The AMP did not have a reversing motor. It used a solenoid to shift a lever that tripped a torque spring in the spin shaft and used a clutch to reduce stress on the motor during the transition.
