Early Avacado Maytag A407

Decent looking Avocado Maytag A407 in PA.

Chrome timer handle so later than a 1972 model as I recall?

Notice the timer dial appears to be in very good shape, no fading.

Yeah, doesn't quite match the well worn push buttons.

Avocado Maytag's are mighty scarce, think I've seen two or three for sale in past
5 years, none in good condition.

I'm just not in the mood for a three hour round trip drive for a one speed machine.

Seller sent me these photos, not sure if the specks are debris or chips in the porcelain.
Chips would be a bummer as Avacado epoxy touch up paint is most likely NLA.

Tub looks okay, still has some gloss to it.
