I've been wanting an A806 for quite some time. The old A407 has been hanging in there doing a great job considering its wear. While searching for old Mercedes diesels in Marketplace these came across my feed. The guy said his mom bought them new in 1974. The washer has my favorite Mallory timer in it. His mom died 2 years ago and the condo was empty since and was getting sold Monday and if I wanted them for $100.00 they had to go NOW. So I headed over. He said they had little use because it was just her alone since 1981 and it shows. I was able to test them before disconnecting them and they worked perfect. The Washer is an HA806 and dryer HDE806. What is the H for? Here's a few pics. They need wiping down. Is he right about the year?

Photo update Here are some pics of the pair of 806's I got early in the week. They were stored in my landlords garage all week while I was biting my nails no mice took residence. Hand a friend come over and we moved them into my apartment to the storage/comp room. Now at least if I want to service them I can. | ||

 The stainless lint filter was discontinued in July/August of 1972. More info in Ben's excellent thread: "Documented Maytag A806 Series 1 & Series 2 changes" www.automaticwasher.org/c... | ||
