New home for Maytag A100 (123?)

[mrfixit]

Hello:

I've been searching for a good home for my 1960 vintage Maytag. 50 years young !
Runs well(used weekly)
Cosmetically fair to good
Located in Shelton CT

$25 and it's yours.

How about...

...some pics?

Welcome!

I believe the A100 is the same as a 125. These machines are becoming quite a rare find, anymore. I applaud you for offering it up here instead of having it crushed. Hope someone close by takes you up on your generous offer.

I was afraid someone might ask for pics.

Old washing machines and vacuum tube radios I can usually make work, but my broken digital camera takes me out of my league.

The A100 model number on the back of machine equates to model 125 from what I've read on line, but there is a single toggle switch on the "dashboard" for water temp which is consistent with descriptions of 123.

That was like my Aunt's Highlander, but with sudsaver. I don't remember if it had a second toggle switch for drain or save suds, but I guess Maytags did use a switch, unlike my mom's KM with the controls on the front where wash always drained through the gray "suds" hose and rinse drained through the black rinse hose and saving or draining suds was just a matter of whether or not you put the plug in the laundry tub.
