Fully featured this one is. Would this one have the precursor to the "fingertip faucet" titled "soil pretreat instant water"? When did the first washer show up with the pretreat water trigger?

The unknown and the bad...
Operating condition is unknown. I just haven't had time to check it out yet but I will.
The bad. There are rust spots on various locations on the back. Not terminal but still needing attention depending on condition of the running gear.
The Pile still coughs them up...

That Must Be....
....The most guy-centric control panel I've ever seen, designed by men with not one clue about what women want in a washer. It's like Jill Taylor wanted her own little screwdriver for odd jobs, and Tim forced every Binford Tool in the catalog on her.
That thing is bristling with nomenclature.

Is this the Norge answer to the Hotpoint Executive?
I would venture this is about as close to fully featured as you're gonna find...

I wondered how long it would take...
For someone to notice the LA806! You guys are seriously slipping...
Yeah, it was destined for razor blade oblivion as well. Like I'd allow THAT to happen. Here she is...

Another shot. I forgot to take a money shot picture but the inside tub is VERY mineral stained. We have some nasty iron ridden water in some places around here and this one had the misfortune to live there. The cabinet is wonderful, tho, and I'm sure I will find something to do with it. She's a LA806 series 02.

Nice Norge and Maytag
That's a very well specced Norge there Andrew....and nice Maytag too!
Eddy sent me an 806 control panel to put on my Centre Dial here in Australia, haven't got to it yet.
Would LOVE to have one of those Dependable Care electronic control panels, but it wouldn't work with our voltage unfortunately.
Cheers

The control panel on that Magic Chef washer reminds me of the control panels on Control Data's Cyber series mainframe computers. I think this style was popular on things in the late 70's very early 80's. About the same time Personal Computers were becoming very popular.
The buttons on the Maytag are nice and shinny white! A must save in my book!

questions
That Magic Chef/NORGE looks great! A few questions:
The PRETREAT/INSTANT WATER BUTTON-----likely just a switch to throw power to both water solenoids for a warm flow, even when the machine isn't running, to help pretreat stains, etc? Good idea, if that's what it does.
And--no speed switch anywhere. Is this a one speed machine, or does the Cycle Selector slew of buttons do speed and temp all in one, pre-programmed? Could we get an inner lid photo, to see if it's all explained?
Norge Burpolators are fun loud effective machines. But that AGI/SOAK cycle going right into a 15 minute Norge wash? I'd use it once to watch and see, but I'd fear way too much action and shredded clothes, those are powerful machines.
Yeah, yeah, the Maytag will last longer, but will NEVER be as much fun.

Mark, the button does indeed trigger the valves to give you water. I guess it's a handy feature if you want to pretreat something and there isn't a sink handy. Also, speed is controlled thru the 'program' buttons. This thing is only missing the 'put it in the dryer at end of cycle' button. Lol.

A couple of nice machines, Andrew. Glad they're being saved.
WOW!
2 very nice finds. Interesting MC/Norge machine. Never saw one quite like that before. But that MAYTAG is BEAUTIFUL! A806's are very high on my list of favorites "sorry John" and that one is mint. Nice saves.
