I forgot to mention... I think the thing that thrilled Dan the most about his new toy... errmmm... washer was that it has the pulse advance timer. The first time he heard that 'SCRITCH!' of the timer advancing, I thought he was going to lose his mind! LOL!

After screaming like a school girl, I have a feeling that you strongly questioned my heterosexuality. LOL!!!!
"Dan promised me a picture of them in place and working. RIGHT, DAN?"
Uuuuhhhh, I promise it to have it up and running faster than it took me to get the DE701 out of the back of the truck. Is that good enough.......*squints and cowers*

Is that the same "scritch" the old Westy slantfront timers make? I had forgotten about that.
Beautiful machines. I wish I had a place for another pair. I'd not hesitate to deploy a center dial duo. Thrum thrum indeed. The sound of dependability.

Nice, nice rebuild guys! An odd one for sure but sometimes it is machines like this that we love the most 
Dan - looks like you spent some time getting dirty!

Hey Drew, are you giving clinics?
Where do I sign up? You could have a lucrative side job making us disciples.
Didn't the older Whirlpools have that "scritch" timer? I seem to remember that of my Mom's 1964 Whirly.
Let us know where to sign up for training...

Nice Set (Maytags that is )
Drew,
Hi . Eddie here.
If you get backed up on A 806s, Let me know. I'm off the whole winter and would take a drive out there to pick up one of those beautiful sets. Please keep me in mind. Thank you sir. We don't run across many of those in these parts. Especially Cape Cod.

Very NICE, chrome trim strips, chrome lint filter, white tub (great pic of the spin, thanks). Thanks for sharing the great pics of the restore. the b4 pic of the softner dispenser, really explains alot about how it can build up. Glad you had a lid. Nice to read the words on the buttons, they are very faded on my old A206. alr2903

Did you notice the indentation to the right rear of the top panel where Maytag was gearing up to change the position of the model tag from the back panel to under the lid? I'm willing to bet that 806's produced from around April of 74 and on was when the big change occurred not only for the model tag placement, but for the removal of the chrome strip and time bleach injection. Maybe even the change from to the acrylic to the aluminum dial.
Anybody here have a pair of 806's that are very close to this month and year to help us narrow down the changes that occurred?
BTW, in order for me to make room for this set, I will need to find a new home for an HA806 washer from Sept of 1977. No tub light, chrome strip, stainless lint filter, or tub light, but but she's certainly a runner. Just needs a damper pad replacement. I can carry out that task if the new owner is reluctant.

a new home for an HA806 washer from Sept of 1977
This is a washer that I found and we then went thru it a while back. There is a thread on this forum where I posted pictures of the go thru. The damper pads are pretty much the same as the one I just gave to Dan. Pads are loose but the damper is intact. This is a very good washer that got a new injector, belts and cleaning. Do the pads and she should be good to go for a large number of years...

Looks like you replaced the fabric softener dispenser with a chrome-topped one.
I also notice a slow down in the spin speed during the spray rinse and then a speed up. Mine does the same thing.

Hey Andy, if they gave Nobel prizes for photography,
then your shot of the swirlaway drain would surly win, and the shot of the wide open green tag, white tub in the night is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the luncheon treats.
Your work is astonishing!

YAY Drew for savingt them and....
....CONGRATULATIONS DAN for taking them home!!
Great job on the rebuild / repair guys! Gee, if you were closer RCD, I would have also been there watching and learning too!
So where do I get one of those application forms for the training class???
Congrats again Dan, I know you are just bubbling over with excitement!
Signed, the one with the glowing garage that can be seen from space (cough, cough)

Which brings to mind a question. Has anyone successfully repainted the console of a center dial tag? If so, how did you accomplish it? How were the results compared to a factory finish?
I have an A-207 that could use a console refresh, but I am afraid of making it look worse than it does today.
BTW, if anyone knows where I can locate the mate to my washer, I'd appreciate it.
