There were two speed Highlanders as well. There were even two speed Highlanders with timed fill. They were Maytag's "budget" line, Highlander--Scotland--thrifty and made to look it. Early advertising featured a figure in a kilt. The wrap around cabinet and the chrome band at the top to hide the screws that held the top to the cabinet made them much more difficult to open up when service was needed. I have a one speed one cycle Highlander with timed fill. It has a feature that sets if apart from any other Maytag I have seen: after the 30 second spray rinse, it spins for 3 more minutes before the rinse fill. I figure that the 30 second spray rinse and the 3 minutes of spin are sort of a safety feature to prevent a flood if it is not draining properly since there is no pressure switch. Of course, if there were something really seriously wrong with the draining so that the motor could not pick up speed, it would probably go out on overload anyway. This is one of the Maytags we "enhanced" with the 50 cycle motor pulley and a black Power Fin agitator. It originally had the narrow post black Bakelite Gyrator. The dark blue porcelain tub shines like new. I had to fill the little drain holes in the tub cover with silicone sealer because it accelerates so fast during the drain that it was pushing water up through them on the way to the top spin speed of 757rpm.
