Pic 2 Matthew and Scott share a GE Versatronic moment.

Wash-in Pix Good day everyone, Following are pictures of the West Coast mini-wash-in on November 3rd. We did 7 loads of laundry in about 4 hours, having dinner in between and ending with a tour of my collection after devouring Scott's made from scratch bundt cake. We even had a break watching...

Cadillac Wow. For some reason, when I think of Jill, the only thing that comes to mind is her green Rambler wagon.

Photo Hi, This was a wash-in at my place a couple years ago. Left to Right are: Gary, Jimmy (FilterFlo), yours truly, Scott, a friend of Scott's visiting from MN, and Erik. We have confirmed folks stopping by tomorrow. Look for pix sometime on Sunday or Monday. Mike

Very Cool Hi Jimmy, That is very cool. I had no idea this was out there, as that is when I bought the GE pair for my new house, in 1994. I certainly did not see this model where I made my purchase. Too bad, as I could have had the chance to purchase a rare machine. No matter really though, as...

GE Tape Deck Good day, Yes, for the GE model I posted, the tape deck is standard. It is a VOM (Voice of Music) tape deck. The turntable is a GE tonal 1 unit and of course, the amp and tuner are solid state by this time. There are tubes in this unit! The porta fi unit installed uses tubes. The...

TOL GE console w/PortaFi on ebay Hey Florida members, Here is the TOL 1966 or so GE console with Porta Fi. I have this same unit. Very nice and very mid-century/60s retro cool. Hope someone saves it! Mike...

The fires are almost out, the air is finally clearing and it is time for another mini wash-in. Those who responded to my email know the details for Saturday, November 3rd. We plan to meet in Long Beach around 4 for some clothes washing, mini-basket testing and suds cake making. We all voted...

Wash-in Hey John, The next wash-in is November 3rd at my place. Let me know if you want to drive up. The guys would like to meet you and hear about how you find all these machines. Let me know, Mike

Learn something everyday Hey Jimmy, I did not know that. It is interesting to watch the mini baskets fill and agitate. I would like to see the spot scrubber in action. What type of agitator did the spot scrubber basket fit on? Thanks, Mike

GE console with Porta Fi transmistter If anyone wants to rescue this console. Lots of potential and clearly in the picture of its backside, you can see the Porta Fi transmitter mounted according to factory recommendations. Hope someone can save it! Mike...

Very Cute LOL, that was a cute way to end a long day. Thanks for the link.

Wash In Hi Matthew, I will send an email to the guys and see when they are available. I am open most Saturday nights. My weeknights are booked, as I teach an auto shop class Mon-Thurs nights from 5 - 10PM. Your GE washer looks great! Looking forward to doing a mini-wash in soon, Mike

Porta Fi I have two GE consoles and several porta fi transmitters and remote speakers. Only one console at a time can be connected to the house wiring via the transmitter, as all the transmitters I have are the same channel/frequency (GE labels them channel A or B). Connecting two or more...

Welcome Hi, Welcome to Los Angeles. Once you are settled, let me know and we can plan a date to do a wash-in so you can meet the other collectors out here. There are no appliance junkyards that I know of in LA. I have heard there is one east of Riverside but no one can provide me with info on...

Call me when you get these Hi, I have the basically the same set. The set you bought are exactly what I grew up with, in the same color. They are a great pair. Call me and I can assist you in evaluating their condition and things to look out for. I would also love to see them. I live in Long...

Better yet Hunting for and then finding the set you grew up with!

Contrast Amazing how well these have survived almost 50 years inside a house or basement compared to the '57 Plymouth buried in Tulsa in an effort to preserve it for the future. I know what it feels like to find your dream set. If this is yours, it will be worth the cost to obtain them. This...

Filter Flo may be heading West I talked with Filter Flo and he may be heading to California soon for a visit. If he does, we will have another wash-in. This would be in early September. If his plans firm up, I will set a date and post for those who want to join us. Coincidentally, I think...

Versatronic Mini Wash And we did a pair of dockers in the Versatronic mini basket. Was lots of fun. We will do this again soon, at Rich's for Frigidaire night! Thanks guys. I had a great time. Mike
