Close-up.
Notice the machine does not inform of the wash-rinse-spin sequences.
Looks like there is a tap-cold and thermostatically controlled cold as well.

Four washers, two dryers.

Toggles Machine does inform of such
that is what the green lights are far in the middle of the left hand side. That model is also field programmable with a large number of options that can be programmed.Pricing can be programmed to be raised or lowered at a certain time of day or a day itself.

Lee: I guess I was trying to say one can't determine how many washes and rinses from the lights / dials.

some can be programmed for anything
However those do not look like they are models that can be. usually there are 2 or 3 programs an some can vend at higher or lower prices. cold water wash can vend at less price than hot water wash ect.. Alliance keeps comming up with different models for different markets.. Could also be a "contract"model we have a group in this area that does that and they make a contract model for them. With only 2 programs you can choose a prewash or no prewash , the prewash is 25 cents more.

Three rinse minimum, please.
Yah, it's interesting to see the same machine perform different functions in diffrent stores/locations.
Classic mechanically-controlled Wascomats used to do a prewash, wash, and three rinses followed by a long extract.
Now, many only do 2 rinses.
There are times I uses a cheap, watery (not waxy) softener followed by white vinegar. I like to follow that with a rinse that is chemical-free.

No more SQ here.
Speed Queen departed from Canada in the 80's, but we have commercial machines identical to those in the pics, under the Huebsch name.

Toggles,
I think I remember to have read on a Henkel website that fabricsofteners generally can not be removed from laundry by rinsing but they can easily be washed out with detergent.
So I wonder if you might do more harm than good when you tell about your habit of putting watery FS in a frontloader`s bleach dispenser. I wonder if you might just "lock in" more detergent residue into the fabric by doing so, because the softener can not be removed by the following rinses.
It`s just a theory of myself and I could also be completely wrong on this one. After all some modern toploaders without a sprayrinse after the wash do the very same thing without causing any problems.

Maybe you are correct.
I always thought my cheap watery softener has no wax but serves to chemically suppress suds.

Dryer doors.
It would be interesting to get a Maytag Neptune dryer and see if it could accept a transplant of a Maytag commercial dryer door with a window like those on the bottom row.
Would it even be possible?

Local Laundromat Has Same Neptune Stacked Dryers
And am here to tell you my vintage Whirlpool compact dryer is streets ahead, IMHO.
Those Maytag dryers are very poorly built, with very filmsy doors. Lint filter system is right from domestic dryers, which is fine and well one supposes, except it requires users to empty the thing after each load, which of course rarely happens, so next user usually must, if it is done at all.
Heating wise, again my Whirlpool dryer will still finish a load spun at 1100 in the Miele or even the Hoover TT faster than these things. Capacity is rather small for a "commercial" dryer, so if one washes anything >12lb washer, then the load really should be spilt into two dryers for faster and more even dryers.
Laundromat at one time did have normal dryers, but they were taken away and replaced with the god awlful Maytag things. Methinks this was done to fit more dryers in a small space, versus the larger Dexter, Speed Queen or Wascomat offerings.

I used to go to the laundromat and I think I was the only one who would reach in the lint filter. I would make enough money sometimes to pay for the dryer. There would be dollar bills in between the layers of lint.
