The 70s (75 A107) and 80s (85 A506) are my grandparents’, hopefully they will be mine someday. I would say the 90s Dependable Care line were the last true ‘Tags. How would you say they compared to the other 2 machines pictured? I definitely prefer the Pitman transmission over the Orbital one.

 The pitman transmission with its power fin agitator has many commendable qualities. The one drawback that I have experienced with laundering sheets. Air pockets can easily develop, making it difficult for the agitator to turn over the load. The rapid short stoke of the orbital transmission more easily overcomes that problem; however, I suspect it's also harder on clothes! | ||
