A906 pair

[DADoES]

The 'tags are home.

Her hubby is a little conflubergasted that somebody collects 'old' machines, but he'll get over it. She noticed the pics being snapped the other day, figured somehow it was to share online. She's pleased the machines went to someone who appreciates them.

Congrats Glen! Nice set

allrightythen....LOL ;-)

Fantastic News!

This is a great day for all! Another 906 set rescued! Glenn - I know that look from the husband. I usually just smile and walk away with the goods =)

Congrats Glenn!

Nice set! I'm rather nostalgic for Coppertones, too.

Are you going to show these off soon?

I don't have a way to run the dryer in my garage, no 220V outlet. The washer can be run, with cold water (Tide Coldwater! ;-) ). However .... I'm pondering on whether to put the 'tags in the house for a while. I really don't wanna move out my DEGX1 'cause I like it too much, so maybe just the washer could come inside ...

Carol and Barry, perhaps a visitation is on the horizon. And rest of the 'local' folk, too, of course. (Not likely anybody would make a long-distance run just to see a couple old 'tags, hehe.)

WOOHOO!!!!! Glad they're home!

I agree...I'd keep the DEGX1, but you definitely need to try the A906 for a while!!

Time for us to head out to EC again...YAY!

And I forgot to ask...does this particular machine have the rapid-advance timer and the "override" button? Inquiring minds want to know, before looking ;-)

 

[DADoES]

Rapid-advance, check. Can't have pushbutton start, ala KitchenAid, without it.

Service/override/advance button ... I'm assuming so, but I haven't yet looked for it.

Lots to investigate.

Anybody with service manuals for this pair feel like coughing up a copy?

I have the Maytag Pushbutton washer service manual, I may have extra copies or can copy it for you. Other than the controls and off-balance mechanism/switch, the washer is really the same as any other Maytag.

 

[DADoES]

Greg, yes, but the controls are the fun part!

 

[southernmdgeguy]

Awsome grab there, I would love to see how those work. Congrats!

 

[gansky1]

Those controls are the BEST part!!! ;-)

Another trip to El Campo????

I'm in! Can't WAIT to see the new Maytags!

I'm in, Glenn.

It would be wonderful to make a short little day trip out there. We could do a lunch that day too.
Keep us informed.
