After that, nothing really changed until the industry-wide standardization 1977-ish. At that point ALL shading was dropped. That was also about the time Almond made its debut and Coppertone and Avocado gradually went away. I know that Kenmore offered Coppertone AND Avocado longer than Maytag did. By the introduction of the Maytag 10 series in 1980 your only Maytag options were white, almond and harvest. |

I just wanted to throw a reminder out that I'm
still looking for a Washer & Dryer, 1963 or Earlier, in Light Yellow or a Turquoise Set. I have a set of White Maytags A702S & DE700. I'd really appreciate knowing if anyone comes across a pair for sale, or is looking to part with a set. Thanks All. Louis |

Sunny yellow was my favorite Maytag color but you don't see nearly as many of those as you do turquoise and pink. |

"Actually, all you would have to do is get a set of operational 906 control panels...."
You know, the possible implication of this remark just dawned on me! Are you saying that if, by some wildest chance, I found 906 control panels, they'd transfer over to the 806 pair? As in plug-and-play? Hmm. HMMMM. |

Sandy, yup it really is that simple. The rest of the machine was identical. What year is your 806? If it's post-Nov. 1967 then the only difference was the panel design and timer. Between Jan. 1966 and Nov. 1967 the machines used different unbalance mechanisms. That problem has several relatively simple solutions. |
