This was one of today's finds. And yes, I brought it home with me.

Congratulations! Very interesting...quite a few of these Hydro-Swirl semi-autos seem to be surfacing nowadays (versus someone lying about having one in the Yahoo group). I hope more show up.

Timer on right side. Does anyone have any information about this model? It's also hard to believe that there is a setting for Modern Fabrics!

 

[trainguy]

Thanks Austin. This also came in today. This makes 3 complete sets of Maytag 806's at this place. It's hard for me to believe that everybody talks about wanting a vintage set and these are everywhere but nobody wants them. He can't hold them forever.

And this went to the Krusher.

And at least I got 1/2 of the set home....finally. I'll get the washer Saturday when I have help.

Great haul, Rich! You gotta love the Harvest Gold (is that what the color was called?)!

Well ... I've sure looked in this area for vintage Maytag's with not much luck. I don't know if people still have them or they are being "crushed" without the opportunity to save them!

I didn't know the machines were for sale. What do they usually get for an 806 set, AS IS?

YAY

That kenmore is to dye for...and it's AUTOMATIC beyond belief. I wish mine were an automatic. YAY!!!!

Hi Rich. Great looking machine. Congratulations. You will enjoy the action of the Kenmore.

Cool stuff Rich - glad to see the skinny Kenmore came home. The center dial piece looks identical to the one used on the 57 Lady K. Glad to see the pushbutton set is slowly on its way home to safey - so glad you scored that set!

Additions!

Very nice Kenmore I believe their was no tempature control. Years ago I knew poeple that had machines like this that used a single fawcett connection to run these basic washers. Is it in working condition?
I Love the poppy frigidaire Refrig.
