Hello Clarice...
What fun you guys had - great to see everyone! Did you have 9 bottles of champangne to celebrate? The washer looks great in it's new home, Jeff, I'll bet you had a blast washing that first "real" load in your own house! Enjoy your new machine - you'll be filling up the choir room in no time with cast off washers and then you'll be shopping for houses from the basement up! As Fred said, it's started... | ||

WOOHOO for the A608! One of my favorite Maytag machines. Considered the work horse of Maytag's. Jeff, You will spend hours on end watching it over and over and over. Like Greg once told me, (and is very true) "Every Load is Different"! And hey mister, how did you get a stainless lint filter. Oh NO, A608 only had the blue ones. That came out of an A906 or A806 would be my guess? Let us know and enjoy your new machine. Steve | ||

First congratulations Jeff on the new member of your family! I'm so happy for you, now we can help you decide on what vintage washer number two will be (insert evil laugh here). and great pictures Fred, was that Hoover Twin tub the start of your washer collection as well? (insert even louder evil laugh here)

I Just Realized I Haven't Weighed In On The Day!
As usual, a great time was had by all. It was so much fun watching Jeff get his baby in the truck and home. That is one sweet machine. Quiet and purrs like a kitten. Still don't know why the owners sold them (for next to nothing!) By the way, that's just what I did, watch. Hmmmm, little Fred strapped to the dolly, I won't comment on that. And Jeff by the truck "Butch?" No comment on that either. This is a great family of appliance lovers. We always have a great time. Nice to meet Gary for the first time. My contractor is coming over to do some work - running a 220V line upstairs for a vintage pair coming from Greg's in Omaha. The Neptunes will be relegated to the basement where the 806s now reside. Yikes!! It is dangerous having so much room in the basement. The collection of machines just keep on growing. Watch out Jeff, as I said, it has begun with you. Ha! Fred | ||

Okay, who owns the truck?
FABULOUS pictures men! Veda, you never looked more like a temptress strapped to that dolly. I don't have the washing machine bug, but it did look like fun. Jeff, you must get the dryer in there too. Just explain gently to your father and I'm sure he will understand. An umatched set? Good heavens. Looking forward to seeing all next month in St. Louis. Veda, remember to keep our secrets! H. | ||

Finally have time to read the forum.......no Austin the ss lint filter was not original to my washer....I saved it from an 806 i dragged home years ago. The 608s came with a turquoise plastic filter when it was new. Nate and I decided to "pimp my washer one night and put it in." Roger | ||

Looks like a lot of fun. I'm as green as the grass and tree's with envy, our grass is just now turning green and the leaves aren't even out on the lilacs yet.. groan.. but that's all gonna change in a couple of months and I'll be within 4 hrs snatching distance. Something bigger than a dodge ram might be in order.
