Sorry Ken, I have an A107, which is above the BOL just because it has a fabric softner dispenser, fabric matic dial, and chrome trim, not dove gray. A great machine. |

That looks pretty much exactly like my childhood washer!!!!! Except mine didn't have a PP cycle. I assume it was an early model. Yes like Bob said, it's certainly not BOL. It has EVERYTHING you need. Yes everything. |

In most of the Maytag brochures from 1967 to about 1972 the A206 was the "listed" BOL. Even so, you got practically the same good value as with the higher end models and, unlike most brands back then, you could still buy the BOL's in any color they offered. During those years it didn't seem that Maytag was using the term "Highlander". The first Maytag brochures I collected only had the 906,806,606 &206. I think single speed models like the A106 and the A406(single speed versions of the 206 and 606, respectively)were being sold then, as incentive models for cheapskates(Maytag had a rep as being the top dog machine with a premium price). The only difference between those model pairs was the lack of a gentle speed. I think Maytag re-introduced the "Fabric-Matic" versions of those machines a little later and made them distinct models. I remember seeing the infamous "Automatic" phony-button in the early seventies and scratching my head as to its function. The first Maytag I ever used was an early A206; it had two speeds, a blue tub, the black and blue power-fin, but only one cycle. I would deduce that the permanent press cycle was added in 1969. |
