Really didn't want the item, and my heart was not in the bidding.
Your Maytag was about what I paid for my Hoover TT,so that seems about right for "newish" twin tubs.
My soft spot is more for Hoover TTs as they are/were designed for spin rinsing, and have a higher spin rpm speed. Don't get me wrong, both machines have their virtues. But having experienced the work involved with twin tub washing, would rather speed things along by using spin rinses, with maybe one tub of water used for final rinsing of everything washed that day. Hoover's really fling soap/detergent/water and soil out of the fabric and right down the drain. Even items spun on 1200 in my front loader, give up more water with a brief spin in the Hoover. How cool is that?
No, my "care package" from down under hasn't arrived yet, but maybe the postman did come today and we were not home. Hopefully it will arrive by this weekend and I will have some free time and would be perfect to work on the twinnie.
Glad you "took one for the team" and best of luck with your new toy. Am truly hoping you can finally put together the washer of your dreams. Goodness knows between this washer and all the extra parts, you should be able to! *LOL*
