and yet I'd still prefer this beautiful and useful machine to 95% of the overpriced crap being sold new today that take hours to complete a cycle, are all clones of each other and are unbelievably unimaginative examples of industrial design.    Unlike many of my bone-head wealthy friends and...

Did the plastics (Filter pan, Mini-Basket and FS Dispenser) come with the machine?

In our experience, hands down it was the 1973 GE FL built-in with the green color scheme. It did the job, though. That is if we're not counting pre-1960's machines: we had a GE 1950's FL with the Bakelite impeller that shook the house.   Interesting flip was when GE switched to an all-plastic...

Hello gawgess What a beautiful machine!   Did the latch and buttons come in that Crayola bronze color or did you do that?

Thank you for this explanation We had one of these self-serve dry-cleaners near us on First Avenue in NYC. I'm still unclear how conventional dry cleaning works, but being interested in washing machines I always wondered how these worked. Mother wasn't.   Those machines looked very spiffy...

It looks like this There's one still available on eBay if it hasn't been grabbed.  There was a link to it in Shoppers Square's eBay Watch. Also, may not fit the agitator cap of a machine this old. FS dispensers weren't very plentiful in the early sixties and were usually for the TOL's.   and...

Is that a deconstructed KA dishwasher next to it?

Was it one of these?

Silhouettes If you decide not to go for them, please let me know.   I think these were the first of the Silhouettes with the spiral agitator and the Jupiter 2 lint filters.

OK Bob, now I'm very curious Can you post a picture or a facsimile of this machine?

810S??? What are the two buttons of the left? Extra rinse or Suds Saver?   Wasn't this model one of the first non-center dial 'Tags?   I remember seeing these for the first time in the appliance department of Malley's in New Haven, CT. I was shocked, no exaggeration. Especially when I saw...

They looked kind of spiffy in the photos I had a brochure of this generation of Caloric stoves when I first started to research appliances in 1970. My Mother had a friend who bought one of these for her NYC apartment and was not happy with it.   What I didn't know back then was that Caloric...

I couldn't agree more Tom, don't you have a pair of these in the Museum?   I, alas, only have the control panels, but I was happy to get them.   I think 1959 and 1960 were GE's most colorful years.

What a beautiful machine...

I don't think GM was very interested in the DW line Kinda feeble that they kept the upper rack design that accommodated the Frigidaire spray tube when they went to the standard spray arm system with tower.   Was the newer washing system that much better than the tube?

One of the best upper racks in the industry.

Answered Thank you John!    

Blond-ish question Did the Westies have hidden dispensers somewhere or did the user have to open the door and risk a small flood to add bleach or softener?

Tuttle & Kiff? Please elaborate.

Marvelous! Just marvelous. Aferim!
