Specifically, does it have suds saver feature? I can't tell from the pictures.
Thanks!

A806, series 0, maybe made before 1972. Hard to tell if the knob is all chrome or not. No suds saver feature. Not enough buttons.

Actually, it could be as late as 1974. They changed slightly (gold trim, gold tone aluminum timer dial, no timed bleach dispenser or tub light) for the 1975 model year.

Decent looking A806, looks like there might be a bit of corrosion on the chrome trim.

A806 made between Feb. 1969 & Oct. 1971.
Not a suds-saver.

Thanks for the quick response and info guys. I was hoping it had a suds saver feature due to all those buttons in the middle section. IIRC, four buttons on the left means warm rinse options? Four on the right means XL capacity? Middle is wash/spin speeds? Still seems like too many buttons. This console does light up?
The seller wants $65.

$65.00 ain't too bad, if it works good. Get it, and use it for trading material, towards the one you want.

On an 806 manufactured from Feb. 1969 through the summer of 1980 the buttons are as follows:
Left side - 1. Normal Agitate, 2. Delicate Agitate, 3. Normal Spin, 4. Slow Spin
Middle - 1. Cold Wash, 2. Warm Wash, 3. Hot Wash, 4. Cold Rinse, 5. Warm Rinse
Right - 1. Small, 2. Medium, 3. Large, 4. X-Large

An 806 Suds Saver would have a 6 button bank on the far left with the first 4 buttons as outlined above and the last 2 being: 5. Drain Suds & 6. Save Suds
