Another non-matching Maytag pair. One of my 806 washers was originally paired to a DE-606.  They seem clean. The printed letters on the pushbuttons are not faded and the buttons are not yellowed! I had to replace a few on my washers and still have some that are faded.

Their reputation may have been tarnished a bit, but

I will never forget the first time I saw a Maytag A806 in the basement appliance department of Macy's Herald Square in 1970. It was all white with accents of turquoise just like this one and those 13 buttons, like a string of pearls on a elegant matron's neck, underlined that exquisitely simple and functional panel: icons of the Mid-Western perfection from which it sprang.

Ken, what an eloquent, magnificent description.

I really think ken & nancy should go after this set.  They appear to be in beautiful shape, and sooner or later an 806 dryer will turn up to replace the 407.

Beautiful set. I've seen several A806 washers paired with the 407 dryer. Makes sense considering the dryer has manual cycles along with a thermostatic auto dry (like Frigidaire).

Great description Ken!

Even though the 7-hour each-way drive diminishes what we could pay the seller for these, we have sent an email off to the seller to let them know of our interest. Haven't heard back yet.
