Great shots Chris! Congratulations on the job and thanks for sharing.
All Maytags before the shredder stroke make waves. That is why even the wringer washers had tubs that curve over at the top. It has to do with the four agitator fins and the speed and the length of the stroke. The square tubs do it just like the round tubs. What's funny is how little the items in the load seem to be affected by the rocking of the water. They are sort of doing their thing and the water is doing its thing, but they do not rock back and forth. I wonder if you checked the water level at the beginning of the wash in the AMP and at the end if it would show how much, if any, sloshes over the top of the non-perforated tub.

Wow Chris, Mabel is quite the looker! I've always felt that Mabel was a great name for an early Tag Auto. Great to see it running like a top.
Bob - those are the slotted screw heads you see there, they hold the inner perf basket to the outer solid tub.

Chris I am so happy to see Mabel and you working it out. You sure have done her right, but she was in better than fair shape when she left here. Again a result of good storage and the frugalness of us South Dakotans. I know what you mean about her quietness. That 1st time I ran electricity to her and set it on spin I couldnt tell right away that it was spinning. Just was getting a small electical buzzing noise but I lifted the lid and whalla!!! it was mechanical hum, not eletrical buzz. Im very happy that it agitated and worked well. I really had no worries. Its really looking good now and I think Mabel is the perfect name. So how about a shot of you guys together? And some shots of those great illustrations in the book? And mostly a shot of that lit up badge if you gotten that far yet. ID really like to see that.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for posting the adtional pictures! I really like that style of lighted nameplate on the A2MP/A3MP. And you even have the owner's manual for it too! I was wondering what the cover would be like for this model - if the just revised the previous AMP manual, or a completely redone cover. And I see that the matching dryer at one time may have sat next to this washer! What's the story on this machine. Have you had it for a while?
A dream pair - matching AMP washer/Condenser dryer. Enjoy!

Chris - I remember when Lee posted the dryer. I just saw it again in your photo album. This machine makes a great adition to your very nice collection.
Maybe sometime when I'm in St. Louis, I'll have to stop by and see the fun!
