I got back from New Jersey spending a week with my Dad who just turned 80.
This summer I was desperate for an 806 set and found this in New Jersey in August. They're 606's. So I figured I will never find the 806's so I bought these. BrianL was nice enough to pick these up for me and store them. And as you all know, last week I found the Harvest 806's

Hi Keith
Elbow Grease, Elbow Grease.
I usually start with a sudsy bath with some sort of Grease Cutter. (Greased Lightening or Power Clean). If there is stuck on Crap, I like to use a Scotch Brite Yellow Sponge with the Green Back and LIGHTLY Rub the area with water to "rehydrate" the Crap. *(Crap being Dried Liquid Laundry Detergent,Fabric Softner and PreWash Goo Treatments.) Then depending on the "Damage", If it's bad I start with Rubbing Compound. Then onto Polishing Compound and finish with a Good Quality Wax. For the Chrome if it's pitted, usually Coarse Rubbing Compound. Then onto a Good Metal Polish like Blue Magic. Nevr Dull works good too. Once the Machines are all polished up, Just Mild Soap and Water seem to do the trick and always wipe up the "Spritzes" if the Lid happens to be open right away. Hope this Helps. BTW, I am going to do the Coppertone Set again tomorrow as I'm not happy with it presently. | ||

CLEANING WASHERS
Most of what you are trying to clean off washers is hardened mineral deposits, dried liquid detergent and powered detergent will just rinse away with almost no rubbing. Your machine also shows signs of frequent over sudsing, it may be much easier to get a good donor machine to save the beautiful coppertone cabinets for.

Hi John
Yes. Oversudsing.
I read what you wrote on the (can't remember) other 'Tag thread, Ah now I remember akronman's thread, Sooooo... I am going to enjoy this set as is and worry about other stuff later until I get to it. As I said in another thread, "Let the Sleeping Dog Lie until he/she needs to get up". Thanks... BTW I tried Water along with a cleaner. No results... But I'll try again tomorrow. | ||

Thanks Mark.
Yes the HA806 Set was a truly remarkable find. I still can't believe I found these here in the NorthEast. I am going to do a little more traveling through January and once that's over I think this set is going to be my first from the bottom up restoration.
Seems like it would be a good practice set before anything goes wrong with the 806 set. LOL | ||
