All photo shots taken prior to a good scrubbin. I'm toying with the idea of performing a full restore on this beauty and taping the entire process for others here to learn. Everything from a belt change, to a full tear down, to a transmission rebuild and beyond. Youtube would probably be the format I'd use. If there's enough response from others here, I'll get the camera ready and put it to work. |

You were lucky that the lens cover was still there. Mine had fallen between the inner and outer tub. Had to pull off the tub cover, tip the machine over and remove it. Picture is a comparison of the old lens and a brand new one. Tomorrow, will tackle putting on the new rubber seal and the expansion ring and hope for no leaks. The harvest gold color is actually growing on me. |

"The harvest gold color is actually growing on me." Yeah me too. I was thinking this morning, "Wow, that color is not as nearly as bad as I once thought" LOL! "Does the tub light work?" Nope. The bulb filament is broken so hopefully a new bulb will fix that problem. The lid switch still works fine so that's probably not it. Finding those bulbs are now becoming quite the task. "Better yet, no timed bleach injection... LOL!" Thank God! I have feeling my older 806 is going to be sitting idly apart for a while :( "It was fun watching you cram it in your little sedan." Little sedan? A 4 door Honda Accord is a full size sedan these days ;) |

Dan, talk about chance! I found this set today. It's a match for yours but it's not quite what I'M looking for. SO... You can have the matching dryer to your washer, if you want. I'll even throw in the washer as a working parts kit if you wish! Let me know! Here's a pic of the set I found today... RCD |

I think RCD enjoys making me squirm waaaaaaay too much, LOL!! UUHHHGG!! I'm running out.....wait....I'm pretty much OUT of room but I just can't bear to see these crushed. If someone wants the dryer, the washer, or preferably, the entire set, they're yours. However, I'm assuming RCD has VERY limited time and space to keep these beauty's hidden from the almighty crusher, so if you're interested in picking them up, make it snappy! Otherwise, I'm gonna to begin throwing my furniture out and guest are going to have to "Pull up a Maytag" to rest their keesters. |
