It went through several iterations, ending as the A906 (1966 to 1973-ish). The controls were quite restrictive. All cycles were a full fill except Whites (cottons) and Colored (cottons) had either Full Load or Partial Load choices. Wash time, speeds, and temperatures were hard-wired into the cycles, although a cycle can be restarted from the beginning by pressing the button again (to repeat the wash before it drains). They're fairly rare but several collectors have them. The linked thread is an example of previous discussion. CLICK HERE TO GO TO DADoES's LINK |

The model just below these (142, A700/702 & A806) were much more versatile in terms of cycle adjustability (everything Dadoes listed above), and you'll often find one of these models paired with the TOL push button dryer (below).
Here's a fun 4.5 minute video of 906 showing the cycle selection and start, among other things.
