Great shape, they were being used before they traded them in.

Gorgeous set! And lucky you that it has the chrome ring on the agitator, those seem to be hard to find and very popular.

Nice .

 

That looks like TOL, but I don't see the automated dispenser.

 

I had one, just like that in 2002.  Same color, the lighted console, and it had an automated bleach dispenser inside of lid, left front corner.   Only problem, for me anyway was it had leaked oil in a big way.  It was all over the bottom, it had apparently leaked onto the floor, and it was even on the in the mechanical section, under the tub.

 

I hope you have better luck with yours.

Great score Kenny! Now you have two 806 sets in harvest gold. Is this dryer gas or electric? If it is still working unrestored, I am betting its electric....

Electric, Rick.Yeah, two 806 sets in Gold, and a 806 washer in Gold. It becomes addicting after a while....
