Those look really good for their age. Very early '06 line. The price is outstanding and some work would be expected (and necessary) at this age. Jetaction (Don) has a set of these, the color is truly beautiful on this style.

I am on this.

I have a friend in the area that wants a monitor top unit from me. I have emailed the seller.

Get'em Travis!

 

[agitatorboogie]

best of luck Travis.... *fingers crossed*

 

[travis]

They're coming to the midwest

If all goes well, I will post my older pair or turqoise maytags soon.

 

[turquoisedude]

OOOH!!!  Please let us know when you're ready to sell 'em!   Wait, I think I just heard Hubby's head exploding....

 

[midcentnurse]

Man those would be sweet! And Dallas is only a few hours away... Idk though...

 

[goatfarmer]

Nice score, Travis!  Ya got any room left?

 

[philr]

Nice set Travis! 

 

[bigalsf]

Congratulations! Those are beautiful!

I see this is an early Fabric-Matic, but can anyone tell me if it's a 2 speed or single speed model? Also, is that a Suds option next to the water temp switch?

 

[appnut]

This is a 2-speed, not a Fabric-Matic.  Regular is normal/normal.  wasn'n'wear is Normal/Slow and delicate is slow/sow.

Am I missing something here

Every MT that I have ever looked at that I can truly recollect to the best of my knowledge when it comes to water levels if the agitator is a four holed unit - there are a choice of 4 water levels on the console.

In the beginning of this post...pic 4 shows what I believe is a 4 holed agitator but I only see three level buttons.....What's the deal here?

Thanks for clarifying it for me in advance!

posted this one before

just 15 minutes before this thread. I try to group by brand to avoid a plethora of postings. I thought it was odd that only Bob (Appnut) commented on these beautiful MT's that I would love myself. So, the grouping is apparently missing an audience. I'm glad they're being fetched, anyways so, go Travis!

Some of the very early "06" models only had 3 water levels with the large tub. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) I believe around 67' 68' when wash n were changed to permanent press they added the 4th water level.

 

[bajaespuma]

You're  right.

the agitator skirt on this one.....

did anybody else notice that in picture #4, the agitator skirt has "lump/bump" vanes between the "power fins"?? i just checked my agitator and inbetween the "power fins" the agitator skirt is flat. were the agitators different on the early 806 washers?? or is this a newer agitator??

 

[super32]

hippiedoll

Yes the extra "lump/bumps" were another short lived thing in the early 06 line. I dont recall ever seeing one in person.

 

[revvinkevin]

 

Based on the date code on the dryer, it looks like they, or the dryer at least, was built in April 1966.

 

AND... CONGRATS Travis!

Yea Ive been depressed all wknd these were gone before I had a chance on them.. I'm gal they're going to a good home, but could not be more perfect for what I'm looking for. As long as they're cosmetically great, I can fix mechanical. : /

Lumpy Bump

I have this agitator and the strange (white mesh) lint filter/ss cap. It's certainly different than the newer powerfin. Now I just need the machine it goes in lol.

[brucelucenta]

If I am not mistaken, not only does the agitator have the "lump/bumps" between the fins. I believe that this agitator is liken to the old Bakelite ones in the fact that the filtering goes down the center of the agitator and under the bottom of it. I think it has a screwed on bottom plate that the water pumps through, so to speak.

 

[travis]

They've been picked up!

Now the fun part, finding a shipper to get them from Texas to St. Louis!

 

[macboy91si]

Baffling Baffles!

Yes it does have a baffle in the bottom of, at least visually it's there. I've never run the agi in machine.

Travis,

I saw you needed to get these to St. Louis. There is a fridge Im looking to buy in St. Louis and will be driving up from Dallas to get it. Have you found a shipper yet?
