I did this to compare the difference between the 1994 LAT 9804 and the 1980 A610 the capacity. The orbital looks much larger, but it actuality. It's the same size and the older Pitmen.
It’s amazing how exact the consumption compared. I have to agree with the other person below. Keep the gold machine for a few reasons. I would say initially because one speed machines have better repair records overall due to fewer parts and mechanical simplicity to begin with and since unlike other manufacturers Maytag had a great way of running their gentle cycle they were able to maintain great fabric care despite not having slower agitation though their agitation wasn’t terribly agressive to begin with. There are two other things to take into consideration. One is that the gold machine was used lightly and only half of the year while the other machine was used heavily on a farm and probably subjected to full loads often. It was used year around and when you obtained it it sounds as though it wasn’t stored in a climate controlled environment. Since you have stated that the motor doesn’t sound as smooth all of this adds up to telling me that the gold machine is a safer bet in the long run.
@@LlyleHunter Bruce I appreciate your input very much. I wish I could keep both, but I don't want to turn my living room into a laundry room. If you know what I mean and it's getting that way so I have to kind of watch myself. The motor sounds louder on the speed so it kind of worries me a little.
Keep the gold Maytag
@@Makesdonsdonsoney thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it.
That was fun fact-finding🥳. Please keep the gold one. It has grown on me🌝.
@@wyzemann yeah the gold one is the original one that I got that started all this. Thanks for watching.

If it were me I’d keep the gold one due to the fact that it’s been lightly used and the color is just great looking
@@brandonsvlog8533 thank you I appreciate your opinion.
