Thanks, Greg for letting me know the age.

Steven, of course I got it! I just hooked it up and it works GREAT. It's time to go to work, but I will post some pictures over the weekend.

In my opinion, the best model Maytag ever made. (806 excluded, of course!)

If anyone has pictures of the buttons on an A806, please post them. My mom’s best friend had a green one when I was growing up w/ the lighted control panel and lighted tub. I remember it had a lot of buttons, but I was too young to read at the time. I would love to know what was written on those buttons.
