Getting closer.
I think there were 4 temperature selection buttons, not 3. They would likely have been as follows: Hot Wash / Warm Rinse Hot Wash / Cold Rinse Warm Wash / Cold Rinse Cold Wash / Cold Rinse If there were only 3 load size buttons (small, medium, or large) it was an A100 or A200 series machine. If there was a 4th button (Extra Large) it was an A400, A600, or A800 series machine. The lack of a bleach dispenser means it was not an A208. The 2 speed motor likely indicates an A200 series machine. I'm going to guess it was an A206 or an A207, but I could likely be wrong. This would have been the regular capacity machine (not the large capacity) but not the BOL model (BOL=Bottom of the Line). I don't recall what machines had a soak cycle. If you can recall any more specific information, it would be appreciated: Was the tub white or blue? Did the control panel light up? Was there a "pilot light" above the center dial? Was the lower half of the control panel painted blue or gold? Was the machine's cabinet a color other than white? Someone else will chime in and correct any errors on my part.

What a mystery, Scoob!
A pilot light and a blue lower control panel means that it definitely was not an A#08 machine. The light tan tub throws a monkey wrench into the gears, however. All the A#06 & A#07 series machines I know of with regular capacity tubs had blue tubs from the factory. I don't know if there were any blue large capacity tubs during the center dial years, but I do know there were white large capacity tubs (which may have appeared light tan under some lighting and/or mineral/rust staining). If it had a factory white tub, it would have to have been a large capacity machine in the A400 or A600 series. If it was a large capacity machine, it would have had 4 load size buttons: Small Medium Large Ex. Large I hope someone corrects me. I'm far from perfect. We'll get it right sometime soon. Dave | ||

Welcome James: This is an A606 from 1972. You probably had a similar model. Bobby in Boston

There is no 805. That's an 806. The very first big tub machines only offered 3 water levels. The later o6 series offered 4 levels. Bobby in Boston | ||

That 606 looks nearly identical to the machine I owned and loved for many years. The only thing different is the two lines of information on the set of buttons on the far right. Mine was labeled small, medium or normal on those three and had no pilot light. I wish I had room for another washer. I'd grab one of these again for those tough and dirty jobs that might choke up the prima donna Duet. And to once again hear the smooth running mechanics in action. I dare say there's never been a more dependable washer ever manufactured anywhere or one with more longevity, but I suspect there may be some here who would disagree with that observation. | ||

Oh yeah, now I see that those buttons with "load" on them are not as yellowed as the others. I replaced buttons on my machine too but for some reason none of the buttons I didn't have to replace were yellowed so other than the more crisp wording on the new buttons, you couldn't tell they had been changed out.
