These models of Maytag always amuse me.....For some reason, they look like they're blind! (OK, I know, I'm weird.) | ||

It cleaned up nicely. Although you can hardly tell from the bad picture I took!

Contratulations!
That there is one of my dream machines! I always wanted to pair a 68 A806 with that DG906(sort of like Granny's pair on the Beverly Hillbillies, but newer). I've always loved the little blue flame on the panel and this generation of Maytags was primo. Did these halo-of-heat dryers dry well? They always seemed to be towards the bottom of the CU reports.

I had a similar vintage model, I think. Mine had the knob in the middle that was entirely automatic--no buttons--and had a very clean look. Just turn the knob to "permanent press" or whatever, push the knob and walk away. I loved the simplicity of that machine. I bought it used back in 1990 when I moved into a place that didn't have 240 for the similar vintage (maybe older) Maytag electric dryer I had. There was no contest between the two dryers. The gas one dried a load of towels in half the time the electric one took. And of course it was way cheaper to operate. The only reason I got rid of it was because it started to make this horrible screeching sound and then the drum just froze up. I'd still have this dryer around if the problem was an easy fix, but it didn't appear that it was. So I dumped it and gave away the harvest gold washer that was originally paired with the gold electric dryer. Even though those tubs were small, I'd be happy with both machines if they were still working for me today. I have no complaints about the performance of that gas dryer at all. Great find!
