That's an excellent price for what appears to be a low mileage machine with legible buttons, even if it doesn't offer the slow/fast combination.

Original 8 fin agitator and a "Permanent Press" button (rather than "Wash and Wear) dates this to 1967. Very nice condition considering its age.

Interesting that its companion dryer failed first, but then again, it would have been a Maytag.  Of course I'm only guessing that there was one.

 

How does the 8-fin agitator's effectiveness compare to the later types?

Wrong link.  However, the other listing is more interesting to moi.

Early-ish KDE806

It has bar baffle sensor strips so that places it somewhere between 1968-1971.

What were the arrival & departure dates for console pilot lights on CD Maytags?

I'll have to dig through my material but for the post 1965 machines, they were around in 1966 for sure. I think they were discontinued in 1975 with the last HOH dryer.

Hard to tell. I think the extra 4 tiny fins probably help stir things up a smidge but it's nothing drastic.

Thanks for the info Dan.  So if the machine referenced in the OP is from 1967, why wouldn't it have a pilot light?  Could it be that Maytag still had a stockpile of older 806 consoles to get rid of?  I'm sure that as a rule, they sold far more of the lesser models than they did high-priced 806s.

806 never would have had a pilot light.

Thanks Kenny.  I never noticed that before, but it makes sense considering the translucent panels.

No pilot lights on 806's but the very early models had timer dial lights.
