Nice Maytag Set at a Good Price!

Looks pretty nice. Not a TOL set but still look great for the year. Single owner machines! Hopefully someone snatches them up quickly.

Looks like an A206 & DE606.

Close, the washer is actually an early A606 with a 3 button water level switch. It may still have the original 6 finned agitator if made before Nov of 1967.

Dan, thank you. You're right. I've gotten so conditioned that 3 levels is a 206. I've only known one early 606 and that was friends of my parents who got a New Generation Mayag in like 1965 or 1966 not too soon after they were released. I got to go over and run a few loads in it not too soon after they got it. I still remember that new Maytag washer smell. I was still in mourning over their WI59 going byby. They held onto the 57 Contro Tower flowing heat dryer for a few more years.

Yeah, the early 3 button water level machines can get tricky to decipher. The easy giveaway on the early 606's is the inner chrome ring on the timer dial. Only the 606 and 806 timer dials got that treatment.

Ad says they were owned by the same gentleman since new in 1967. They probably are in excellent shape mechanical wise and with some refurbishing will last many more years. You probably won’t find another set of these in this good of condition for $150. The ad also states that they must be gone by this weekend so I really hope someone who would appreciate these can get them.
