Mike and I talked about getting together and meeting at my house so he could check out my machines. Then as time grew closer (the day or two before) I though it would be nice to invite other people too. BUT, a Monday evening is not the best time to have people over because their work schedules, traffic, etc, etc. I invited a couple people (remember this was NOT going to be a wash-in) knowing they probably couldn't make it. Then at the 11th hour I invited one more. Eventually when the doorbell rang there were four, including myself! From Left, Mike, Joe, Russell and yours truly!

I also have three other machines (plus the Norge dryer which is now in pieces), all of which are not pictured. I would like to apologize to anyone I did not invite, again "my thinking" was Monday night was just a lousy time to do this due to work schedules, traffic, family obligations, etc. This was A LOT of fun and I WILL have another in the future, but it will be on a weekend so more people can come! = = = = = = = = Gadget Gary, No my 806 does not have the "timed" bleach dispenser... and it was built in Jan, 1980. Also, the white 1975 806 I had (and sold) did not have the "timed" bleach dispenser either. Kevin | ||

3 way temperature controlled water valve?
Are you talking about the 3 coil water valve with hot, cold and a 2nd cold inlet aka the 'energy saver' fill valve (22001138)? If so, that valve survived up into the mid to late 90's or so with the LAT8904AAE, etc. and worked by a switch on the console which activated a 2nd cold fill coil,injecting a 2nd cold fill stream which of course caused less hot water to be used but resulted in a 'colder' warm temp. The next thing of course was the thermister controlled 2 coil valve... RCD | ||

3 temp valves
Looks like you guys had a great time! Call it what ever you like, but there is nothing wrong with a last minute wash-in! Also the early A906 models had the thermostatic controlled 3 temp valve for a bit of time. At the moment I'm currently working on an '06 (with the focus on the A806) change history log guys - look for it in the next week or so! Hopefully will put an end to the guessing games. ;-) Ben | ||
