806 series. I'll post the dryer later, its electric and spins and heats, but groans a bit. The washer spins, haven't put water in it yet. Matt

Fantastic find
And a suds saver, too. That's one I've decided I want -- either a Maytag or Whirlpool/Kenmore suds saver.
Thanks for sharing. And good luck.

Beautiful! I love a lit tub, too. Congrats!

Can you post clear close-ups of the controls?
Thanks!

THOSE would be worth the extra money here...
Now, this set would be worth the extra money here in Oz, that's for sure.
Nice pair!

And the dryer. I'll part with the set for $450, is that reasonable? Not trying to gouge, just make living. Otherwise they will be a part of my vintage showroom. Matt

Wow!
That's the first 806 dryer I've ever seen with a gold console.
Purrty!

$450 is high unless you went through them both, cleaning and lubricating all of the lubrication points and making sure there are no leaky or torn seals. I got my set for $100 and I live in the highest price gouging area of the USA. I've missed a couple of 806's that were free.

Tx, I am a repairman, so I guess should really give 2 prices, "as is" and fully functional, cleaned etc. $450 would be the latter. Matt

If people (buyers) knew the quality they were getting, they would say that $450 was the bargain of the century, compared to the crap today that costs over $1000.

Really nice set.
Never start at the top of your asking price on line, do that privately in email communications if not on ebay.

Nice set - but odd. Some research would be required to validate this - but IIRC the gold panels debuted on the revised 02 series washers and Big Load dryers (dryer pictured is a HOH). Also, I think gold panel machines came out in 1975. Another sign that the washer is later is the model tag under the lid. What is the serial number on both - this would help to understand when they were made.
I mention this because the lighted wash tub stopped around/by 1973 - making it a bit odd that this would still have a lighted wash tub - near the time they removed the chrome strip along the front of the machine/s.
Both machines look nice but be careful when offering items for sale - Philip's advice is wise.
