Right!  On the other hand I have no experience with Maytag 
replacement parts since neither machine has ever broken down.  ;-)

In today's thinking that has to mean they were seriously overbuilt. 
:-)  (And expensive.   They were about $350 each in 1970, that would 
be about $2,000 - $2,500 each today, if not more.)
