In its day it was a very expensive washing machine.
Other than a 906, I can't think of another American made washer with as high a price-tag. Worth every penny and then some!

YS = August 1976 (I think)
Price of the 806
In July 1975, My parents bought their third automatic and as my mom said,"finally a MAYTAG."
They paid $485.00 in 7/75 for the A606S one model lower than the A806S. My mom wanted the 806s but dad would not go for it as it was $510.00 The suds saver feature added about $25.00 to the base model.
As has been stated the 806 was around for a long time. Being series 2, your machine was produced during the 08 model production 1976-80.

"what other vintage machines did you see"
At the same shop, Westcoast Appliance they had a matched Maytag center dial set in white selling for $550 or there about. I don't think they had lighted controls though, but still very nice. Besides that they had a couple of the "newer" Maytags with the timer on the right. I think they had a few BD whirlpools, and lots of DDs from various years. The prices may seem high for used, but they are all rebuilt and covered for one year. This is a good store I highly recommend them.
Thanks for all the replies.

Liamwa, I hope you enjoy your new washer! That was a fine choice, and certainly more fun than pretty much any new toploader you would have purchased now. It should be a really good machine, and the fact that you got the almost TOL lighted control model makes it just that much better!
