Full Disclosure

Long Story Short...

*Fred Nelson's move meant downsizing
*I was willing to contribute to his downsizing efforts
*Ben was willing to pick them up for me

*These now reside with me
*Will get a full transmission rebuild this spring and put into action after that
*Woo
*Hoo!!

I die! Love that sleek look

You Go Guy!

That is like the most showroom perfect set of machines I've ever seen!  And they're 906's!

 

Where are my smelling salts?

 

[toploader55]

You are so fortunate to acquire those.

I have always admired that pair.

Yes Ralph..."Showroom Like" is the perfect description.

I am so glad these beauties are in your hands and will be cherished and preserved.

My Great Aunt in Skukilhaven, PA had the set before she replaced them with a digital,stacked set. Nice pair you have but,the water level is limited to half or full. No water level in between or below half full. All the other features are flawless. The interior and full panel lights, the automatic bleach dispenser, the period of automation. Great set.

Dream machines. Enjoy !

Holey moley!  Congratulations, Don - these are the rarest of the rare Maytags indeed!  

 

I don't think I've ever seen a set with the pushbutton washer AND dryer in a setting that was not on a TV show...

 

I definitely have to visit again... LOL 

 

[foraloysius]

Congratulations Don! That's the Maytag Holy Grail. They are in good hands with you. You are the real Maytag man for sure!

 

[mayken4now]

hey hey hey

THOSE MAYTAG'S ARE MINE!

Beautiful pair Don

You should consider downsizing further, by getting rid of that nasty turquoise 806 pair, if I were you I would consider taking the control panels and wiring harness off of the all pushbutton pair and putting them on the turquoise pair of machines. Then you would have the ultimate pair of Maytags in the ultimate color and be rid of a another Space robbing washer and dryer.

 

[turquoisedude]

Well, Don, if you were going to give up the turquoise set.... LOL 

 

[whirlykenmore78]

Very nice!

You don't come across those everyday, and in such perfect condition.

Beautiful. Very sleek.

I wonder of the proportions mathematically fit the requirements of "A good line is always a good line".

I can't remember the source or the formulae, but (IIRC) the original Marlin, Mustang, and Barracuda were examples.

Congrats Don!  These are a beautiful set of Maytags.  Glad the cat is finally out of the bag!

 

[askolover]

I've always liked those!  I just watched that video again so I could see them.

 

[norgeway]

Having seen those

In person, they really are stunning.

 

[gusherb]

OMG

That set is so shiny and gorgeous! If I had them I would put them behind a glass exhibit wall that only I had the key to.

 

[beekeyknee]

Don,

I'm happy you got your 906 set. I am sorry about the time I scooped up the set from Cedar Rapids that had been promised to you. I had no idea at the time. I just knew Drew had been looking for that set for a very long time and thought I'd do something nice.

Anyway, congratulations and enjoy.

Brian

p.s. Drew doesn't post much anymore. Hope he's doing well. But I don't post much anymore, either.

 

[hippiedoll]

WOWZERS!!

Congratulations on such a shiney new-looking 906 set. They are BEEEEEAUTIFUL!
I want to see a lid open picture of the washer please...

Again CONGRATULATIONS!!
