The washer is a 1973 model A806S and it's paired with a DE608 dryer which is a few years newer.
My regular A806 from 1972 was also originally paired with a non-matching DE-606 which was bought at the same time. I'm wondering how much the original owners saved by not selecting the matching one with the extra lights! I got the washer with the instruction manuals for both machines, the laundering guide and the sales brochure but the dryer itself was gone!
I can see added notes in the sales brochure showing that they paid the washer $359.95 and the dryer $249.95 for a total of $609.90. |

People often bought the 806 washer to have the independent speed selections for agitation and spin. Since the only difference between the 806 and 606 dryer was the panel light, some did not care about the matched control panels; strictly sans panache. |

If 4 of the 6 the buttons on the left are the same as those on the regular A806 (they should be!), they are those for the agitation speed and spin speed (and the two others should be for suds return on and off I guess).
The 5 buttons on the right are those for the wash and rinse temps.
Here is what the regular A806 buttons looked-like when they were new!
