Early Maytag A806 in Berlin PA

Actually it’s Dave or David.

I’m not the least bit particular about which one folks use. And yes, you are correct. If I brought the machine home in its present state my wife would demand to know why I spent the money on this rusty piece of junk that doesn’t even work and there’d be a huge dust up over it. Once it’s restored she’ll be perfectly fine with it, even happy. I’ve seen it happen repeatedly.

Just as a heads up

If anyone sees a Mallory timer with the part number 203182 or 2-3182 come up for sale somewhere please let me know. I just purchased a new Kingston timer for this machine, but I'd like it to have a Mallory. I'll be tearing the machine down this afternoon and starting a thread in the Imperial forum to cover the progress, so all future posts will be there.

That's one of my favorites

I learned how to use an "automatic washer" on a 1966 A806S. One day I hoped to find one and I did. (Thanks to Goatfarmer). It was the first vintage washer in my collection. Mine is from 1968. Notice the Permanent Press button.

Thank you, David, for sharing and have fun restoring.
