i didn't notice that right away REVKEV

Nice set, but how do they get "matching"? Because they both say MAYTAG?
Timed Fill
Yes, I believe rich (Powerfin64) has a highlander with timed fill. I thought this was only for BOL machines. IU never imagined I"d see a timed fill with two speeds, really "fancy". And no, they aren't a matched set, look at the color of the two control panels.

Totally stymied by the control dial
Rinse......Fill......Rinse.....Dry
a Double-Rinsing Maytag?
DAN, BEN & CO, what's going on here?
Wait.... just thought of something: Is the first Rinse period, the wash spin and the spray rinse?
How many Tag dials have we seen here, but never this one. Had to get the magnifier out to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. What other Tags (years and models) have this rare dial?
AGI BOOGIE: A suds ~ AWESOME! Thanks for a doubly rare treat!

I believe the washer is either a A200S or a A202S - yes, a BOL, two speed, timed fill Maytag with suds saver. I can't say that I've seen a suds version of a 100/200 panel - can you shoot a picture of the whole panel?
I had to brush up on the service lit for this one - but to return the suds, you would set the switch to "SAVE", then set the timer to about the 10 minute mark. Once the suds were fully returned, reset the timer for the desired wash time, add any necessary detergent and clothes. Much different method than a Maytag with the SUDS RETURN built into the timer.
The 124 originally was the A200 from 1958 till around 1961, then the A200/A202 was in production until 1965.
The dryer is a DE300.
Mike - Maytag did some funny stuff with their pre-06 timer dials. Some of them show the whole spin from wash and rinse as a whole rinse, but this washer follows the typical Maytag convention of Wash - Spin - Spray Rinse - Spin - Fill - Rinse - Spin.

I'd love to see a money shot. Could this model be the same as the first 'Tag I ever saw, with a dark blue/gray speckled tub and the wringer style black bakelite gyratator? I remember being so freaked that the entire agitator was submerged during the wash cycle; you could see rollover and movement, but no agitator in sight! Dr. Freud thought that was interesting. Marked me for life.

Thanks Ben ~
Interesting to see a full rinse marking for the spray AND EXCITNG, too.
Usually the Save or Drains switches regulate the output; you know: one hose if you're not saving suds, or two if you are, and then Suds (return) is marked on the dial or there is another button for return. This arrangement is unusual. I, too, am wondering if there is a return switch, but if you say the doctrine says to select SAVE, then of course, I believe you, and there would not be a return switch.
What a trip this Maytag is. To devote a whole rinse segment to the almighty unparalleled* Maytag spray is so preferential, respectful, and cool it sends me right over the top, and now I want one SOOOOO bad. Then when someone comes over, I can exclaim, "You must, must, must come see my Maytag with the special rinse setting!" I'm sure they'll hurry away.
Good! LOL.
* until GM FINALLY figured it out in the 1-18.

I've got the same dryer in turquoise and soooo quiet! Great machine. Still working on getting the matching washer up & running...
A200S
Cool this is a rare machine and another low mileage machine in great condition, Yay
Michael as Ben was explaining you set the washer timer dial to 10 minutes or less and the motor will start running and if in addition you push the suds save button it will energize the two-way valve and the washer will suck what ever amount of water is in the storage tub back into the washer. And if for some unusual reason there is more than about 18 gallons of water in the storage tub the washer will overflow, LOL.

On the Suds Return,
My Mom had a machine like this she bought in March of 1965. Although ours didn't have the timed fill. It had the Small, Med and Full buttons for the water level. It also had the Suds Return and the non-filter, non-fabric softener gyrafoam agitator, same as the wringer models. No lights on it either. It I've always wondered about the enormous stress it must have been on the motor when it was refilling. Since these weren't supposed to operate with the top up, you loaded the washer and started it empty while the agitator started and the used wash water refilled the tub. Once those clothes were wet, but before the tub was refilled, that must have been hard on the motor. I would have thought it made more sense to refill the machine then add the clothes. But the safety switch made that impossible.
In theory anyway. I think our machine was about 2 days old before I figured out the clothes pin trick to let it operate with the top up. And I was all of 9 years old at the time!
It was a great machine. It lasted over 30 years!

OMG Ken !!!
That is the same machine in a "Tag Laundromat" in Sandwich on the Cape. I can't believe you remember the "Gyrator" being submerged during the Wash and Rinse cycles. I used to fold up a pack of my Mom's matches for Cigs back then and stuff it the back of the Lid just to watch the turnover of the Wash and Rinse.
What Memories. Imagine on a Hot July Night in the early 60's. Going to a Laundromat. And hearing 48 Maytag Highlanders droning to the Agitation and Spin Cycles with Timers "Scratching" when they changed increments. Hot water was at least 140 when you hit the "Hot Wash" button. Imagine the smell of "Blue Cheer" and Clorox on a 80 degree night in July with a Ice Cream Cone in hand !!!

As I remenber.
The water didn't actually cover the agitator. It went to the "water line" about an inch and a half from the top. But with the washing action at times the water would cover the top of the agitator. A lot of suds would definitely cover it.

Suds-Saver Washers And Motor Stress
When returning the suds water to the washer the wash tub should not have any clothing in it, the exception would be solid tub washers that had a dedicated suds return pump to return the suds water and did not agitate during suds return process. Once the majority of the wash water was returned you could add the next load of clothing and add additional detergent and allow the washer to top off the water level usually with hot water.
