And now Ben and John......for the end of the story...

The suds saver on the 806S that Kevin posted in the video does have a timer that advances during the suds return cycle and eventually will stop to shut the machine off. After a pause (a long one) it advances into the wash cycle on its own. I know this to be true as I use it often! :-)
 
Don,

 

That's kinda what I thought when I heard you guys talking in the background about it advancing. I'll venture a guess and say it probably pauses through the Pre-Wash/Soak part of the cycle, which would take several minutes, and then starts up again at the wash section. That's actually kinda cool, if one wanted an extended soak, because the regular Soak cycle is only 1 minute of wash and 4 minutes of soak. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

The MTs we sold in the 70s did not advance in the suds return timer position. Hi Don, does the pre-wash on your machine normally just advance into the main wash?, later the TOL MTS drained out the water after the PW and you could put liquid detergent in the FS cup and have it dispense into the main wash.
