GAWGEOUS machines dahlinks; Gawgeous!.

Oh honeys if your hose is that decayed and you don't know it, ya needs to have someone look at in occasionally.

Jeff, they are beautiful. I have a pair that I am just getting around to cleaning up right now. They are my favorite vintage Maytag Automatics.

A nice 806----the last washing machine one will ever need. I know ya'll will enjoy it.

VERY Nice

Hey Jeff

Fantastic looking machine- sure you and Michael will have lots of fun with it .

Seamus

(who it kinda facinated by the standpipe on the wall above the sink!)- drain for an AC unit maybe???

 

[roto204]

FANTASTIC!!

Oh, how lovely, and now you have new hoses and a nice dryer vent, too! Congratulations!!

Dear me, who is Ms. Lawson? She's dashing! Nothing I like better on a woman than a bulletproof pair of legs and a goatee...

Thanks

for all the good wishes, when I spoke to Michael late last night he was on his 2nd load of wash in the 806, he's hooked!

I also would like to say thanks to Fred for all he's done, and to Greg, Charlie, Morgan, Terry, Tania, and Mike B. for all their help in getting these to Michael's on Saturday. During all the appliance moving a cookout took place as well, it was a very fun day!

Seamus, the standpipe you're referring to is the drain for the dishwasher, which is pretty much directly above the 806 washer. The other white pipe is from the kitchen sink. Michael's kitchen was not equipped with a garbage disposal(until I installed one for him a few months ago) so this arrangement was done for the DW.

Jeff! Sweet - things are sure looking up for you with a nice 806 at Michaels. What a great weekend -

oops forgot to post this one

found behind Michael's dryer when we moved it yesterday

 

[geoffdelp]

Jeff ... FANTASTIC Maytag's!!

Looks like you will be having years of enjoyment with these.

AND ... you found a couple of measuring cups; how cool. That Tide with Bleach is just before they went "Ultra".

ENJOY!!

 

[polkanut]

Those are beautiful indeed, but now I need to find me an A806s. There is just something about a suds-saver that turns me on!

 

[gansky1]

Bulletproof legs and a goatee - Helen's gonna love that!

Wow, you guys got a lot done on Sunday! Good job on the install and the dryer vent - I'm glad I didn't see that, I would have needed smelling salts! All made worthwhile by the end result and what was behind dryer #1, Dynamo cups are very fun to find and a nice shape for measuring the sample of Tide that came in the Maytag ;-)

Did you throw out the Extra detergent? Hee hee...

 

[hoover1060]

Did you throw out the Extra detergent? Hee hee...

Ok just what did you say about the EXTRA detergent???

Michael was muttering something about it on Sunday as we were working...nothing bad, he was laughing at something you'd said!

Those cups were so cool, but if you'd seen the crap behind those Shredmores, I was thinking we were gonna find Jimmy Hoffa!

 

[tlee618]

Jeff and Michael those machines look so at home!! It was so much fun being part of the moving group to get them there.

Looks great!

serial numbers

Ben sent me the Maytag Cheat sheet, but I am having some trouble with reading it, so here are the serial numbers,
I think I have the dates for the two dryers right, but have no clue for the washer

A806 Washer serial# 229640 MU
DE806 dryer # 647847 BK(September 1970?)
DG608 dryer #568240 CX (December 1979?)

Any help is appreciated!

Jeff

 

[swestoyz]

Hey Jeff - the washer is a September of 1971 machine. Hope this helps!

Ben

Thanks Ben!!

I appreciate your help very much! Did I get the dryer dates correct?
