Might take you up on that. He gave me a white agitator and a new transmission, pretty sure its not useful to me tho, looks like the later one. I think its got a white softener cup, not sure if it fits. Probably want to use a turquoise one anyway - it deserves as much. :-) Any advice on removing the bleach dispenser for cleaning? There seems to be some unspeakable horror down there. There is a little oil in the cabinet... maybe its grease. I'm not sure if I should be worried. The agitation starts slowly but pick up after 2-3 strokes, and seems fine. Could be oil or grease on the belts I suppose. We'll see what happens after I clean it up a bit. |

Thanks Dan. I'm sure you'll find one someday. I was very surprised to see one available in NJ... i've never seen anything this nice around here. I wish the cabinet was in better shape, but I figure I could always find a parts donor someplace. I've put all the pics I took up on my site. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mistereric's LINK |

Nice find-----just clean 'er up and apply a good automotive wax (I prefer Meguire's) and she'll be good as new. (Evidently the dryer was on the left of this washer judging by the photo of the cabinet). Great find! |

{gasps} mercy killing? for a working A806 in any condition? here in the unimproved, savage suburban jungle of New Jersey? surely you jest, sir. perish the thought. this well worn beastie becomes the daily driver, at least until i get the 'queen set up as well. I'd wax her but i don't want to wax over rust. |

Nice washer, Eric. Nice 'head' of suds coming from the agitator there... Oh, eh, let's stick with cupcake! ;-) The siphon break was an option on all 06's but the 806 model that for most of it's run was a standard feature, all of my 700's and 806's have come with one. They were standard on all models starting with the 10 series when the drain hose was moved up and bracketed inside the cabinet with a 90 degree outlet. |

C. L. R. Clean with HOT water and Windex first. Get all the lint and assorted yuk out. Then get yourself some CLR (or Lime Away).Pour some into the bleach dispenser, into the lint filter and scrub a little with an old toothbrush and some Q-tips. Avoid getting it on the shiny porcelain surfaces and rinse quickly. Works for me every time. Beautiful find! I just snagged an 806 myself, looks like the exact same vintage as yours, probably 1969, 1970. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. |
