Robert and I went to visit Greg in Omaha this weekend...
Saturday night, the Easter Bunny came to visit. In addition to some delicious candy(*burp*) -- somehow an Avocado Maytag 806 set found its way into our Easter baskets!

As it was being lowered down the stairs, Robert mentioned that he heard laughing and snickering coming from the basement. I have no idea what on earth he meant...?

Here's the washer! (The dryer has some issues at the moment, and will be coming down at a later date)

Ta daaaa!

Water gone.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Softner, anyone?

I don't think the softener dispenser worked..?

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Mmm.

Such a pretty control panel!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

That's all for now!

Sweet dreams!

Finally! A Centre dial Maytag in the basement!

Well Fred,

Congratulations! She's nice!

Your influence is showing no doubt!

What on earth did Robert think?

Cheers
Leon

WTH??

Where did you hide the missing buttons? LOL! For a second there, I thought I consumed just a little too much Tanqueray.

I'm guessing this is a VERY early 806 given the 3 level water pressure switch and 3 button speed combo with a Permanent Press option. This early machine originally should have had the 2 piece baffled agitator. Probably got trashed during the removal process at one time.

Serial #, please.

A pic of my internally restored '75 Series 1 806 humming away as I type....
