Another question how old is this washer, late 70's? Also where does it fall in the line, TOL near TOL? Any info you have on it would be much appreciated. Thanks. Liam |

Liam, I'm pretty sure your machine is at least late 70's if not newer. The Maytag experts should be chiming in on this question for you. It's also pretty close to being top of the line. A beautiful find and I think your mom is going to have this machine for many years to come and consider it the best machine she's ever owned--if she doesn't already!

It looks like you have an A806, no suds-saver. This is the TOL dial machine. There was also the A906 with just a row of buttons that was the TOL machine in Maytag's lineup at the time, but the A806 has the most features and most flexable settings. I would say the A806 is the highest-level machine for which replacement parts aren't a problem. The A806 was in production from about 1967 to 1979, though I could be off by a bit. They were changed a little over the years, and I'm willing to bet yours is a later one. Post the serial number and someone could tell you the time of its manufacture. Enjoy your Maytag, I have an A208 which, though close to BOL, I still love. Wash, wash, wash, the Maytag way, Dave |

It's a Maytag A806, series 2, serial #696280YS. Any info is much appreciated. The machine is running great by the way. Thanks. Liam |

Just curious, does anyone know how much an A806 sold for new and what the equivalent cost would be today. It's built like a tank with a lot of high grade materials, seems like it would cost a fair bit to build. Liam |

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! |
