Seemed like the high end MW machines always had more buttons and knobs than any others. Even the dryers were loaded.

Don't see too many of MW machines anymore.

I never bothered to open up a trans to replace the trans seals inside the trans itself. If there is oil leaking out the center pulley shaft on the bottom, you probably would want to replace the entire trans if you can find one. If the agitator shaft seals are bad, causing oil on the clothes, Replacing the shaft seals are relatively easy.

"crap at the back of the tub"

Could be oil. I've seen them with oil left in the tub from bad shaft seals.

MW machines

Boy, seeing those catalog pages brings back memories. I worked in the paint and hardware departments of MW in 1974-75 and the appliance department was directly across the aisle. They always had a demonstration set hooked up and I played with it many a time when on the Noon to 9PM shift and there were few customers.

features

Note the specs. the DRYER had a 1/2 HP motor, the size of most WASHER motors. The washer has a 3/4 HP motor.

And always a catchy name for a feature.

202 degree "Turbosweep" agitator.
