I'm posting this partly because i never saw a Maytag that looked like this. Hopefully someone will tell us the specifics of this machine. CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK on Worcester Craigslist |

I would say sit tight and keep watching. Something will turn up. It might be one piece here and another piece there but you will find what your looking for. I went on a quest a year and half ago and finally after about 3 weeks of searching I got lucky and landed a set. People are always putting new ads up on CL. But also keep checking back in this forum as members are always posting things here too.

AFAIK no truely vintage Maytag washer (flouresent lighting etc.) has a very sizable tub by todays standard. I may be wrong, I am still kinda new at this. Others with definitive knowledge will no doubt clarify the situation. This one says, "super capacity"..

It's sounds to me like you are wanting either:
An A608 (2-speed, extra-large capacity, warm rinse with hot wash only. No light-up control panel). Or An A806 (2-speed, extra-large capacity, warm or cold rinse with any wash temp, light-up control panel). Both the A608 & A806 models are vintage "center-dial" maytags washers. |

yeah, if there was a choice, I would go with the 806 with lights....most models should have an interior light as well....
look for the center partition above the timer that divides the glass....THATS the first clue to an 806...... photo courtesy of Mike/Electronicontrol

what Ken & Nancy are really wanting is "center-dial" maytags.
I do have some threads showing the control panels from sales brochures, bookmarked on my computer, but it crashed a few months back. I will see if I can find the threads & link then on this thread for you guys... Keep your fingers crossed for good luck! ;o) |

best you can do if you find a set, it to post pics and link to us here, and most of us can decipher that model for you......
if you get the model and serial number, we can most likely date it for you too! with exception to an 806....the buttons to the far left at temp, a fourth one will be the warm rinse option....if theres only 3, chances are, all cold rinses.... to the far right would be the load size, just like the agitator, 4 buttons would indicate the largest capacity..... and I think only the 806 allows separate speeds for wash and spin.....all other two speed models select one speed for the entire cycle... |

The "Harvest Gold" color isn't going to work for us, but otherwise this seems almost exactly what we'd want, particularly if they were in just a little better condition! CLICK HERE TO GO TO ken-n-nancy's LINK on Maine Craigslist |

That is an A608 (2-speed), extra large capacity washer.
Not sure about the dryer but it does have the 2 temperature buttons: Regular temperature & low temperature. And I believe these might be a rare mid-70's set, for the fact that they are sunglow control panels, big door dryer (stream of heat), but they have the "shaded" harvest gold color. Unless there was a cabinet switch?? |

It's too bad the numbers on the timer knob of the dryer have worn off.
And just to let you know, these are not the A806 washer & 808 dryer, like the seller says. These DO NOT have the control panels that light up. Just thought you should know that. And I hope my message above doesn't make you feel like you have to get that set. I'm sure something better will come along in the white or almond color. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys... ;o) |

That Ken-n-Nancy posted a few replies up.
The washer isn't an 806 but is actually a 608. And being that the dryer is timed dry only, with the low & high temperature buttons, I would guess the dryer to be a 308 (I'm guessing??). What has me scratching my head is that the cabinets are "shaded" harvest gold, with the lower control panels in sunglow, and diamond-looking acrylic timer knobs. I thought that once the sunglow control panels came out, the "shading" had already been stopped? I remember reading that you could get the aqua control panel (that came with the "shaded" colors) with the new diamond-looking acrylic knob for a brief time during the change-over. But I've never read that you could get the sunglow control panel with a "shaded" color cabinet?? Am I wrong?? :o/ |

Deleted it. Saw the newish ad and wanted to alert them. One question, why does the seller think it's an 806? Would they not presumably Check the placard/label or whatever whilst composing the ad? This post was last edited 10/24/2015 at 19:37 |

Might be a bit far for you, but I this is a late 70s A806 with matching electric dryer in white. Washer has a white tub and green agitator.
Those were the better dryers introduced after '77 (correct me if I'm wrong) IMO, because they had a bigger tub, wider door, and upfront lint filter. CLICK HERE TO GO TO delaneymeegan's LINK on Rockford Craigslist |

I was thinking 408 for the dryer too. But wasn't real sure.
I seem to like the 408 model of dryer the most because of the flexibility of selections you can choose; Timed dry, air fluff, regular auto dry, permanent press auto dry, for the timer knob selections And low temperature or high temperature for button selections. It's too bad the control panel didn't light up, a little lower down the model line. :o/ |

Phil just posted a white or almond (hard to tell the color) pair of light-up control paneled 806 washer & 808 dryer.
I think in Chicago? I don't know how far that is from you guys? They might have been sold, but from what I'm understanding, the buyer hasn't picked them up yet. The seller said if they weren't picked up by Monday they were going to relist them for sale again. They were posted for $100. |

Well, if the set in Chicago is gone, and you can work that location, the other matching set was in Rockford, which is only an hour West. I'd guess waiting and patience will eventually pay off where you're at. I wonder though if there is more competition. The other option is to consider having the units (where ever you purchase them from) shipped to you. It will cost some, but.... I've had a few things shipped, years ago, with craters and freighter, and they did a real good job. Best of luck in your hunt. |

Hi Ken n Nancy! Welcome to the group. I'm your neighbor up in Concord. I actually grew up in Merrimack and worked at the Bedford Mall (when it was alive and well) at the CVS back in the early 90's when I was in high school. . Nice to see someone local. :)
DADoES, I currently have my Kenmore 28102 sitting in my living room. My friend stopped by today and didn't think anything of it. LOL. |

According to what I could find out, the Sunglow control panels were introduced in '75, and the shading on the top ONLY was discontinued at this time. The shaded color cabinets continued until '77 or so. |
