Hey Gang - Quite a few of us have wondered exactly what the heck happened in the mid 70's - well, in Newton anyway. I did some digging through the archives last month and came up with some pretty juicy material from both Parts manuals, and LTS publications. First up: I actually stumbled upon the 1982 A806 parts manual on accident, but I'm glad I did. The scan below of the last parts revision included a nice detailed list of the major revised changes through the 15 year run of the A806. More notable are the documented changes that came along with the Series 1 machines, which started production on January 29th, 1975 - with the "WD" serial code. With the Series 1 machines you got: 1. The revised/simplified bleach injector system 2. Front panel trim strip removed 3. "Sunglow" or yellow control panel 4. New aluminum timer dial 5. Non shaded top panels Thankfully they also noted that the tub light on the A806 was not removed until the Series 2 machines. The closest date I can come up with the Series 2 machines is mid to late 1977. If anyone has a date on the Series 2 change - please post it in this thread for archival purposes. Continuing on......

Ah, the 4 water level pressure switch was added in December of 1968. Cool stuff! If anyone else has any other cool '06 series changes they'd like to share and document, please do! I do know that they moved the model tag to under the lid in 1975 as well, but not sure exactly what month later in the year. Anyone have this documented? Ben
