    Thanks, again, Louis.  Always enjoy seeing the kitchens and appliances from the day.  When I was in high school, I used to sit at the public library downtown paging through the home magazines from all over and was always excited to see the sleek European designs and modern rooms in...

    Excellent work - they look great.  When paging through the pics, I got to #9 and did a double-take - wait, what??  Lol.  Love the green, I always like the black panels on this era of machines.

  I've tried the Amway Queen, Wonder Ware (mom has a set of this she bought in '67) Montgomery Wards, Sears etc.   Ecko, West Bend & Regal made many of these in lots of variations for different sellers' brands.  Many will work on induction, but sensors on ranges vary so it can be hit and miss...

    My grandfather's sister, Rose, had this washer (in white).  She grew violets under lights in the basement so when visiting, we always had to take a tour.  This was the first GE FF I saw with the flume at 12 o'clock.  She also had a wringer washer (Maytag, I believe) and the GE saw little...

    Looks like a gold KitchenAid? dishwasher is still there.    Range looks lightly used, usually the glass plates are discolored and/or stained.  I had a friend in high school that had a single oven Tappan slide-in version with this same cooktop.  They hated that range, slow and impossible...

    What a great find, congrats.  I've had a couple of Westy top loads, both newer than yours but they did an admirable job of cleaning and rinsing was accomplished with copious amounts of water in a long spray rinse and a (2nd) deep rinse.  

Blue Monday GE     I'd love it for just the agitator cap.  

    We had S&H Stamps around here, several stores participated.  Don't remember them being given automatically, the cashier usually asked if we wanted them.   I've found a few catalogs from S&H over the years, one of the POD with late 50's Westinghouse appliances was from one of these.    ...

    A few TRs have shown up for sale around here as well.  One was on a farm in Iowa, I can't even imagine the never-ending washday disasters they must have endured.

    A hat-tip to your fine work, Ben.  This looks like a new machine underneath and the control panel cover restoration is outstanding.  

    I took these pics in 2015 at John's, note the double element.      

Genuine FOMOCO     This was at an estate sale down the block from us.  Banished to a corner of the basement workshop, missing lower rack.  This ghastly upper rack design has to earn at least a dishonorable mention in the D&M lineage.     Have had several through the years, still have a 74...

    The Power Shower sprayer is hidden by the plates in the rack, the water feed for the P/S spray meets the lid at the front of the machine, just to the left of the latch opening on the tank wall.  The ad copy mentions the 3rd level, lower end models didn't have the plumbing for it although I...

    I have a Kirby Diamond G series, one of my favorite Kirbys as it has two speeds.  We have mostly wood on the main level, room-sized rug in living room and smaller rugs in other rooms.  The low speed on the Kirby is one of the best features for odd jobs like these.  Although the dog doesn't...

    Have seen a handful of these BOL GE/Hotpoint washers around.  Just as John said, it was only a few dollars more (literally) to get the next model up with 3 temp/3 water level selections and at least the pretense of a PP or delicate cycle on the dial.     Mom's first GE FF was a 3/3 low...

    Years ago, I pulled one like this from a friend's rental property, complaints of not cleaning and leaks.  The ridge of the tank that the lower rack rides on was riddled with rust holes.  A BOL plastic-tub Hotpoint was a welcome sight for the tenant. 

Expectation VS Reality   "We've been feeding the goats out of it and then discovered it's worth some money, so we hosed it off."

    "TOL Maytag version of Wilkins-Servis"   An 806/906 with a Stainless-Steel basket and that pretty white agitator?  Sign me up, too.  

Super cool dishwasher, looks like it's in wonderful condition.  Congrats.

    That sounds great - good work.  Does everything else seem to function properly now?  What a beautiful machine.
