<sigh> ..... I just love these controls. Or, more accurately, the philosophy behind them:
Pick a wash temp. Done. -> Pick a rinse temp. Done. -> etc., etc....
Yogitune's Neptunes are the same in that regard.
So simple. So logical. So UNconfusing. Why oh why was this ever dropped?
Enjoy your 806!

It's a Beauty.
I Love my 806. Now that the Food Hall and Drama Center is closed for the winter the 806 will be running a few times a week again.

Awesome 806, Christina. The most versatile of that era's Maytags. I grew up with coppertone Kenmore kitchen appliances and have always thought it was a beautiful color. Thanks for the photos. Here's to many trouble-free loads!
Congratulations!
Beautiful machine Christina!
Beautiful machine Christina!
Very nice! You did well with this one. Maytag always had a deep, rich coppertone - just beautiful.
Congrats Christina!
What an excellent score! Those Maytags with the lighted control panel are absolutely stunning. Really love the lighted tub too!
On top of it all it sounds like you have a fully rebuilt machine that's going to last you a very long time.
Once again, congrats on this amazing find!

Looks awesome!
Great job on bringing this one back from the verge of being scrapped - nearly all homeowners would have considered the repairs done to that washer to be too much for it to be worth keeping. Well done!
Now we need to find one for us in New England!

Wow!
Nice catch, Christina - sorry to catch this later - I'm always perusing CL too much. What a great looking machine and thanks to Roger. Does this mean you have two different color machines - another Maytag set(washer and dryer) and this additional washer, now?

yes maytag offered a nice looking 2-tone brown color. like you said, "very rich looking". and roger is so AWESOME!! without roger there is no way that i could even indulge in my washer interests! i asked him the other day, where do you hide them and i touched his back. he looked at me puzzled and i said "your wings". he is an angel. so generous with his time & experience. he is just all around GREAT!!
delaneymeegan:
awww man! too bad that harvest gold 806 you got had that oil leak!! it sounds like it had all the same "bells & whistles" that this "brownie" has. you know, when i first went to look at this "brownie", i thought, "if it's in really bad shape, maybe i can buy it to have for extra parts. but when me & roger went to go check it out, he said that it looked in pretty good condition & that the washtub was nice & shiney for it's age. so i bought it with the intentions of using it & like i said, thanks to roger for all his help, he got the "brownie" up & running. and i am using it now. and everything seems to be working properly & it's getting my laundry nice & clean.)

washerlover/todd:
i am really happy with my find. "brownie" has it's scratches, chips & nicks, but it's from 1972, like roger says, those are just consider scars/marks from "living". i say, as long as it doesn't effect how it works, it's fine with me and i'm also truly blessed to know roger & mark.

gansky1:
roger said he talked to you on the phone about "brownie" so i knew you knew about it before i posted it on here. hee hee hee...
so far so good, everything seems to be working really good on it. roger seems to have a good eye for spotting out good machines just by looking at them

washdaddy/rick:

sorry for the delay in posting the pics. i didn't mean to be a tease. when i finally did get a chance to post the pics, i tried to get the "mandatory" ones i could think of. i did take a couple of before pics, when we first brought ol "brownie" home, but since they were already on my phone, i could figure out how to post them on here??

Jetcone/jon:
"Nice find HippeeDoll"
are you talking about roger or the "brownie"??
;o)
goatfarmer/kenny:
"brownie" is a beauty, isn't she??
i like the color combination of the brown cabinet with the white (washtub & panel light) & turquoise (of the agitator & timer dial settings) with the aqua lower control panel.
)
warmsecondrinse/jim:
i like the simpleness of the button selections too. kinda feels like your picking songs on a jukebox. i'm guessing "this was dropped" because it's what they call "progress"???

toploader55/eddie:
what color is your 806? does it have the "sunglow" or "aqua" lower control panel??
)
Frigilux/eugene:
i definitely love the versatility of the 806. the tublight, electronic bleach dispenser, chrome strip, & color are all added "+'s" for me!
;o)
Ultramatic/louie:
i'm very happy with my latest & last (hopefully) find.
)
114jwh/james:
i like the lighted tub too. it's pretty neat. and yes, thanks to roger, this "brownie" should be in service for many years to come.

ken-n-nancy:
all the praise for bringing this "brownie" to life definitely goes to roger. he definitely put in a lot of work into this one. i would of been like "a fish wif no water" if i had to do everything roger did, on my own! but this is definitely a "keeper". how's your guys search coming along?? i'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you guys...
)
electronicontrl/michael:
"Ahhhh!"
was exactly what i was saying when i first seen this "brownie" posted on craigslist. and when i seen that it was still available after about a week or so, i just knew i had to at least go & check it out. and i'm so happy i did!!
hm hm hm...

ovrphil/phil:
better late to the party than never ;o)
and yes, i have the gold 806 washer & 808 dryer and now this coppertone 806 washer. but i'm trying to play a missionary here and trying to convert my sister & her fiance' to "vintage". hm hm hm..
they hate their new samsung "HE" toploader for various reasons and when i spotted this coppertone, i brought it up to my sister if she wanted to borrow the gold set (until they buy a new washer & dryer), i could buy the coppertone washer for me. at first she was like "NO" they're old & the gold doesn't match with anything in our house. but after her fiance' got fed up with their samsung making holes in his shirts, he told her, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all??
while i'm using the "brownie", i have the gold set, waiting for them. so far, they are just going to use the washer. but maybe they will decide they want to use the matching dryer too???
fingers crossed they end up liking the ol' maytags & wanting to keep them!!!
;o)

Also a little late....
But the biggest congratulations to you for that machine.
It is absolutely beautiful!
And that is awesome all the help and effort that Roger offered you. Truly a wonderful human being.
Your love for these machines is very powerful and I am so glad you now have the machines of your life. It's a wonderful feeling.
Your absolute love for Maytags is wonderful.
And may I thank you as well for being so enthusiastic about my Maytag score(s), albeit the 'Junior' versions of your "Mom & Pops"

Sorry I'm late in replying to your comment. I was in California this passed week, visiting family.
Roger is definitely awesome, and I am truly blessed & thankful that he is my friend.
As for maytags, they are wonderful washers aren't they? I used to be a "hoover-honey" but now I'm a "maytag-mama"!
;o)
I think your maytag "juniors" are too cute! I love them!
