The three buttons to the right of the dial are throwing me off. Could it be an early A806, or is it a suds saver?
I didn't post in SS because I'm just curious, and I doubt there's any interest from locals even at $65.

Thanks --
So the four buttons on the right are for load size, indicating the larger tub, correct? Would this machine be like a 406/7 then, or an early 606?
If they had added one more button labeled "Bulky Items" that did a slow wash and fast spin, it would rival an 806. I could manage with the pre-set rinse temps. |

well if anything, very close to a 606.....always liked the pilot light...
and yes, the largest capacity..... note on the one you posted, one side was a full cycle, the other was a long Automatic Soak as on Mike's, one cycle, suds return, pre-wash and an auto-soak...... never understood why they put the pre-wash before the soak....instead of two separate items, it could have been incorporated....Soak, and then pre-wash near the end of that cycle.....or as most did, Pre-Wash was part of the normal cycles Rinse/Spin..... as on mine, when in Suds Return, the timer doesn't move... |

With the 3 temperature options, I would say that is an A407. |
