Beads of sweat...the agitator hard at work.

But...the most amazing part is, that the inside lights up now too!

Wow, I can choose my settings independently now!

Total Eye Candy!

Of course, everyone has seen 806 pictures before, and they're pretty. But this is the first time we've had a fully lighted machine in operation. I was thinking about painting the inside of the lid a highly reflective silver in an effort to bounce more light back to the display. Any thoughts? The...

Some old household hint books suggest that if you're washing glass or crystal, that you shouldn't rinse them, and dry them with the suds on them, and they'll come out sparkling.

I remember Panel-Nu - kind of a combination between Pledge and Liquid Gold. It was in a spray can like pledge, but left a finish more like liquid gold. It cleaned woodwork, and cabinets and left a nice shine and cut grease pretty well. You see it occasionally in old hardware stores, but I...

Growing up we had one of the later, sliding lever controls, and now I have a T20 (1949-50). I found the regulation to be better on the later, lever models. Sometimes i have to unplug the toaster early to get the desired light toasting on my early T20. That said, I'd rather pull the plug once in...

That's an understatment! Actually, I just apparently had no clue how timer motors worked. It helps if you actually install it, instead of just attaching the wires. (That's the way the original came to us so I hadn't seen it installed) :) I guess my first foray into washer repair was a flop. It...

Hey, Dave and I posted about this problem awhile ago. I bought a lovely A806 that had what was presumed to be timer motor issues. The machine would do everything if you manually advanced the control knob, but wouldn't advance on it's own. I just got a timer motor in the post, and installed it...

I'm not a lawyer either. I would have to agree, however, that he, his wife, and anyone else asked should NOT SAY ANYTHING, no matter how trivial it may seem AT ALL unless it is in court or under the direct advice of an attorney. Best of luck, Dave

Goodies. Looks like there is also the following: Amana Radarange RR series Touchmatic microwave Vintage Lawnboy lawn mower 1960s or older box fan Ironer, I couldn't tell the brand Vintage TVs 1960s or so GE toaster oven Lots of other goodies. Near Denver, Dave

I forgot the other part...Dave suggested to her (before we saw the lint filter) that maybe the dryer vent didn't get cleaned regularly in her apartment complex, and she told us that it was never really connected to the dryer vent because the duct tape wouldn't hold the vent hose in place, and it...

Batteries... I will post some dryer pics later, maybe tomorrow. My camera battery died and I am charging it. Until then, Natasha, get Moose and Sqvirrel, Dave

She was originally just going to sell the washer because the timer motor crapped out. But we told her to call us when she wanted to sell the dryer. She's moving this week, and it was easier to sell it to us and have us move it down from the third floor. :) As soon as I get enough money to...

A public health care system could be a great thing...I went for a year without any health insurance and it is scary, but I'd rather have something carefully considered and well planned that took a little bit longer, than follow an arbitrarily set deadline. Crappy health care might be better than...

I have to say that if there were a set of stainless 806's, I would lust after them. Anything shiny. Stainless with a black porcelain tub, turquoise agitator and chrome lint filter. Or just chrome the whole cabinet. Wes

I did the same thing with a 1930s Green/Yellow/Black stove. It was a mile from my house, and that sound...awful. I found another stove, cheap and in better shape than the first, and (as I discovered after dismantling the damaged stove) safer to use. I cracked the door frame on that stove in 5...

That house is incredible! Eastlake/Stick Style Queen Annes are my favorite. I'm an aesthetic movement junkie. Your house has all the details I wish mine had. If you want to see a few more interior shots, you can see my Flickr page, In twenty years or so I'll have some Bradbury and Bradbury/Mason...

Hi, Dave (VolvoGuy87) and I just picked up an A806 (Finally, a lighted console!) in northern Kentucky for $25, and the owner is going to contact us when she's getting rid of the matching dryer. There may be an issue with the timer. Dave's in the basement working on it right now. I'm curious as...
