Hello All: My mom and dad's A806 has served the family faithfully and well since we bought it in July 1978. Unfortunately, the time has come for a change. (Incidentally, we're replacing it with a Maytag Bravos MVWB950YW). I've arranged for the A806 to be moved to my folk's garage for...

My good friends and next-door neighbors at New Market Hardware, here in Saint Louis have recently come into a very handsome Speed Queen model 80 wringer washer. It is in overall excellent, used condition with only a very few minor dings and scratches in the enamel paint and a little peeling of...

What fun WHAT FUN to experience the wonders of Greg Nunn's collection and Robert Seeger's wizardry with the Unimatic 2.0's traveling road show! I have never so much enjoyed a VCCC convention as I did this one that just ended yesterday and that, in large part, was due to the involvement of those...

Once upon a time, many MANY years ago, whilst visiting the home of a playmate, I, of course, took note of the family's laundry set-up. They had a matched set of Maytags. They were quite old, but the washer was nonetheless an automatic with a rear-mounted control panel -- definitely NOT an AMP...

Dear Friends: I just got back from my long awaited family visit in California during which I work on my parent's A806 washer and DG410 dryer. I am ashamed, I guess, to admit that I was looking forward to those projects ALMOST as much as I was to seeing my relatives. Back in St. Louis, I log...

I will be heading to Los Angeles in early June to visit my family. My mother has been using the very same Maytag A806 (series 02) washer that yours truly picked out ALL BY MYSELF as a mere pup of 17 years back in 1977. I do not recall that it has required any significant service in all those...

I am fascinated and PUZZLED by how vintage, and for that matter new-fangled, condensing clothes dryers work. Do any of you gurus have photos or schematics of the innards of these mystery machines? Thanks, Martin Kaplan

I am soooo ashamed of myself. I wimped out, opened my wallet W I D E and paid Maytag of St. Louis to repair my 8-year-old Neptune washer. It needed a new rubber boot AND I splurged on a new thermistor/valve assembly. Of course I watched the whole procedure and now I'm sure I could have done it...
