Rivas' videos echoed what Speed Queen told me as well as my local dealer when I bought my 432 recently--there was no way to accommodate the mech timer for the new requirements for 2018. I will say that I probably made a mistake by buying the 432 for $879 locally because for only $899 I could've bought the electronic timer model and it had a 5-year instead of a 3-year warranty. However, I never use the ECO cycle or the delicate cycle anyway.
The real disappointment is the matching dryer, as there is no moisture sensor. I was stupid and didn't even think about it, assuming that it had one. Over the past two months I've rather learned where to set the 'auto dry', but it's still a great step backward, and I urge anyone purchasing to consider this.

Mechanical timers will be impossible to get (as replacements) in a few years and people may be looking at electronic retrofit kits. Also the timer repair companies will be very busy I suspect. I never liked the feel of a speedqueen timer when compared to Whirlpool timers. WCI/Frigidaire had an odd feel (to me).
Speed Queen timers
Question: where did you here this? I am not saying you are incorrect, just wondering.
SQ timers are still better than those in model T GE washers. And perhaps latter model Whirlpools.

My timer is better than your timer. Quack Quack Quack.
Have you actually seen the timers used in those washers?
And reply #4 to get 20 likes 3, 2, 1... Le sigh.

Late GE timers...
...are about as cheap as could be possibly made-one on my '09 Hydrowave jammed once-took it out,got it apart,found nothing wrong,put it back in and no more trouble
Really cheap,simple clock motor and eggshell thin plastic housing...'05 WP one is much nicer.

Yup. Saw about a dozen actually split open over a two year period at the complex scrap pile.
Ok- then make a case for me proving me wrong.
