It looked like one of those old 'tags had a metal agitator cap rather than FS dispenser. I'm guessing that's typical for a laundromat application. I'm fairly sure that the 'tags of similar vintage that were in my college dorm laundry room had the dispensers.
The owners clearly aren't sinking any money into that place, but they also know that they'll never be able to replace what they have with a more reliable fleet of machines than those Mighty Maytags. I'd wager that they repair the machines themselves, albeit infrequently.
