Does anyone have a video of a older Maytag washer on the Permanate Press cycle in action?

I have never seen what a permanate press cycle does on older Maytags. Does anyone have a video, or can possibly make one?

What exactly is it that you want to see?  I can describe it pretty well if that would be helpful.

And what era are you talking about?  Maytag introduced a PP cycle on their 160 in 1959 and then across the entire line in 1969.   It was not until the 1996 line of machines that the PP switched from a multi-stage partial spin-out/refill sequence to a spray-spin cool-down.

I just want to see the PP cycle on any 1980 or 1970 Maytag models with the lid open doing its normal PP cycle.

I just stick then end of a wooden paint stir between the switch and the side of the washer. You can see then.

Not for nothing, but it is a boring procedure and a huge, ineffective waste of water... IMHO...
