I was looking at Maytag ads and bumped into the an ad for a very nice looking Maytag A406 / DE606 set in Harvest Gold from 1971 that looks to be in excellent shape, with an asking price of only $100. They're not what I'm looking for, but somebody here might really appreciate them. They appear...

There's also a DE606 for sale in Manchester, CT. http://hartford.craigslist.org/app/5342995538.html

FYI, there's a matching dryer (DE407) for your washer for sale in Rhode Island not too far away. I have no connection with the seller -- I've just seen the ad while waiting for an A806/DE806 pair... http://providence.craigslist.org/app/5342933282.html

Oh, that's a gorgeous washer and dryer pair! Now I have to figure out how far away Ogden, QC, Canada is from New Hampshire, to determine if we can justify the round trip! However, with a crazy schedule at work for the next couple weeks and household chores getting ready for family visits...

Wow! We've looked at this thread a few times over the last few days and are still incredulous about the condition of that 40-year old washer. Great find! Guess it isn't always a bad idea to pursue those Craigslist ads that don't include a picture...

I don't have any answers for you on how to fix the timer. However, I just had to comment on the incredible condition of that dryer! That is in incredible shape for an approximately 40-year-old appliance!

A turquoise Maytag washer from the 50s, in Las Vegas. Photos also show a pink pair of a brand we don't recognize. These are too far away from us to seriously consider. http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/atq/5318165288.html

Thanks for all the notes on here from folks that thought of us on this A806 washer! It's nice to know that you're all cheering for us and looking out for a set on our behalf! We've been in correspondence with the seller on this one for a couple days. Initially, we could hardly contain our...

Thanks for the advice on ads that don't have photos. Agree that ads without photos are more likely to be a scam or an appliance that is in really bad condition (and thus doesn't photograph well). Then again, sometimes it's just because the seller isn't very computer-savvy, such as being a...

While searching for a Maytag A806 / DE808 set, came across this ad for a Harvest Gold Maytag A506 washer. Only $25 in Oakville, CT. Alas, no photos. Ad text below: Washer, Maytag - $25 (Oakville) Maytag washer, Gold, Good condition. Model GA506...

Congrats on the recent acquisition and good luck with getting it running again! So glad to see that our having posted the ad over in the Shoppers Square resulted in your being able to purchase it. It's good to know that the machine is being kept in working order, rather than going for scrap...

> Where is Mansfield? Central Ohio.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures of these after you pick them up -- we're still hunting for an A806 / DE808 set in New England!

Same seller has a "Vintage Kelvinator Stove" for sale, too... It is in amazingly good condition, but that's a lot of dough! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kelvinator-Stove-/181920143903

1949 Maytag Automatic Washer in Albany, NY. We've been reading a lot of ads in the past month and this is the oldest non-wringer Maytag we've seen in any of them. http://albany.craigslist.org/atq/5293616564.html It's not some thing we're looking for (we're still in the hunt for an A806 /...

Agh! Those are the ones we want! Couldn't be much further from NH though and still be in the lower 48 states!

Looks awesome! Great job on bringing this one back from the verge of being scrapped - nearly all homeowners would have considered the repairs done to that washer to be too much for it to be worth keeping. Well done! Now we need to find one for us in New England!

There's also a matching gas dryer to go with the Harvest Gold Washer in Elma, NY (Buffalo area): http://buffalo.craigslist.org/app/5289226888.html

The washer looks like a 1992-ish LAT9700AAW. (We know this because we have a 1992 LAT9700AAL.) As others mention, they're the older helical drive tranmission - same basic design as the Maytags of the 60s through 80s. Our washer/dryer set has run trouble-free for over 20 years, with the...
