I had a visitor from California today. QSD-DAN came over the hill for his HA806/HDE808 set and brought me a present as well! We decided to work on his set at the shop so I could show him some tricks on repairing them. He will do the cosmetic cleaning back home when things aren't so rushed but we had to play with the set, of course! Here is Dan opening up the 806... |

Well... Not much...only the most wonderfull 1958 Maytag 641c dryer I ever laid eyes on! Yeah, I'm biased! Just a little! Thanks to QSD-DAN for making a Maytagman's dream come true! I just about had a 'loss of control' moment when I saw that come out of the back of his truck! I'll post another thread as I get into this one but here's a few pics!

I should have noticed that in the third picture that there is no provision in the upper tub ring for a tub light. When did the 806 machines stop the tub light? Was it when they went to the gold panel as opposed to the blue? Also, is that when they changed the bleach dispenser from the right to the left side? |

Wow, what a great time guys! Wish I could have been there. You've got quite the shop set up there Andrew. Dan - your 806 looks to be running like new now, and Andrew - you've got quite a dryer there! Are you looking for the matching washer now? Curious to know what the trick was to lubercate the tub bearing without disasembling the whole unit. Do tell! :D Also nice to put some faces to the names. Thanks for sharing! Ben |

Wow that is a beautiful dryer! I think BOTH you AND Dan scored with this deal! That harvest gold set he got is awesome and that dryer is just stunning! CONGRATS again!!! I have a question. Where is lint screen/filter on that dryer? Is this dryer below a different year or a different model since it has a "lint drawer" on it?? |

As soon as Dan gets back to the Bay and his computer, I'm sure he'll have a few things to say and hopefully a pic or two of the set installed and washing. I'm looking forward to doing a THOROUGH teardown and rework on the dryer to insure years of troublefree service. Maybe some rewiring as well. QUESTION: Does anyone have a lead on the red/black button console light switch? The one on the dryer is actually crazy glued together and working on a wing and a prayer... I'd be in someone's debt. Kevin, my dryer's lint filter is in the back like all traditional HOH's although the filter disc on this one is METAL, not plastic/fabric. I'm not sure about the difference between mine and that stunning pink dryer pictured above. Perhaps if you sent it my way, I'd be glad to eventually get back to you on the differences after I spend some time playing... errr... RESEARCHING it... Polkanut, that's kind of you to say but my Neptune dryer's been around the moon with me and has not given me even an ounce of trouble. Looks like I'm going to have to give in to the wife and install some extra hookups in the garage. Soon enough, I'm going to look like the neighborhood laundromat... RCD |

WOW!! What a great day for you both to get those super machines. The set Dan has is wonderful. It will last for years. Those are my favorite top load machines and you have all of the programming you need. The dryer Drew is wonderful.. My step mom had one like that she bought used around 1964 when her and my dad moved to Napa. she used it until 1967 when it went out and they bought a Wards (norge) which she used for many years. The Maytag washer she had was a AMP model with the control panel that looked like your dryer. I turned the mercury tube around so you can open the lid and watch the machine run. Only thing was when it shut off and you opened the lid it started up agitating again. Being home today I filled my 806 with water and ran it agitating. It wasn't sluggish at all. My poor drain hose has some breaks in it. I need to take care of that. A good project and I can clean out the inside of the machine. I had fun playing with it and might just decide to do a rebuild on this machine and look for a dryer to match. Here are some pics. Have fun!!!! Dano
