A foolproof lint collector, no pump or hoses to go bad.
No cumbersome trays or parts to get in the way!
Cool pics.

Glad you got that Tag up and running. It looks great. That shot of it paired next to the dryer is a winner. Also, I love that shot of the agi with the filter removed, and water swirling through it. Truly a unique feature that most other washers do not have.
You mentioned the overhang of the tub. I've seen many Maytags with overhangs from the back, and just as many that had them from the side. I always assumed it had to do with how level the washer was. Otherwise I find it interesting that the angle of overhang varies from one washer to the other.
Have a good one,
James

James,
I bet the overhang had to do with how good the guys in the factory were feeling the night before! Actually, there was probably variation among the individual springs from machine to machine.
Gary:
If your Tag goes unbalanced and you are not there to stop it right away you are f----. The lid switch will prevent a severely unbalanced load from damaging the machine. Bad, bad, bad.

Bobby,
What is your secret to lifting the lid and watching the action?

Risk vs. reward. It's a risk we are willing to take.
~The lid switch will prevent a severely unbalanced load from damaging the machine.
I have never EVER seen a Maytag go into unbalance. (Especially if the user knows what they are doing).
DUCKS AND RUNS!

Maybe my machine goes off balance because I'm off balance. Like washer, like owner.
We need to have a wash-in soon.

I remember...
when I was quite young and these same model Maytags were being sold. I always liked walking around and looking at all the washers. This was also back when people actually had jobs working in the appliance dept. This gentleman demonstrated for me how a Maytag would never go unbalanced. He took a couple of phonebooks and put them on one side of the tub and started it up. Sure enough it was up to speed in less than a minute and not a sound. I was always impressed by that.

I've always found Maytags to go off balance fairly often, more often than a Filter-Flo or Speed Queen. The nice thing is how they shut off before any clunks of thunks. And no annoying buzzer.

Well...
I've never had an unbalanced wash in my 608 yet. I've always tried load it properly, and use the proper fill setting.
My mom was/is famous for underloading her Maytag and using too much water, resulting in the clothes piling up when the spin starts.
