Looking for Maytag. A906 and matching dryer

[jasonlittle]

Thanks goatfarmer for those pictures. Man those machines are awesome. I really hope one day I can find me a set. The avocado set is my absolute dream washer and dryer.

I’m pretty sure I have something like that. A902? It’s the older, kind of rounded off type face panel. It’s a matching set in white. I’ll try and dig up some pictures

What beautiful machines. Thank you for the pictures. I almost wonder if whirlpool has based their newer line of front load washers off of this design?

Jason, maybe there's a classic Aworg miracle in the making here: If Eugene's set works and is available, you could go get it and paint it avocado. Yes, it's a 900 but that's only 6 points shy of the almighty
906 ;'D

Doubt Whirlpool

is doing that Jason. The Maytag pics complement you as well. Their newer FL's seem cheesy. Not a fan of a total bottle deergent dispensor. Lift up the cover of the stainless steel pump hand soap dispensor in a public restroom. Nasty crud! We do 3 loads per week now including bedding an towels.

I remember noticing that the Hillbillies' Maytags had one Pushbutton machine (the washer IIRC) and a center-dial model and I always wondered why. Gladys Kravitz had a Pushbutton pair early on in the series.

Maytag's earliest electronic control dryers had the four pushbuttons on the left with a mock "center dial" in the middle.  Hence earliest Hillbillies sets was all pushbutton  washer and dryer that "looked" like a center dial dryer.  After Maytag offered an all pushbutton dryer to match their 160 washer, then that original electronic control dryer style was relegated to the "highlander" series.  Friends got a used "highlander" electronic control dryer after their 1957 Control Tower dryer bit the dust.

Is there any shipping services that you guys would possibly recommend to ship a washer and dryer. That’s something I’ve never attempted to do before. Also I was wondering if you guys had any idea on the cost of something like that?
