1955 GE COMBO Restoration

[coldspot66]

Hi Jon,

Does this machine have any cooldown phase an the end of the dry cycle?
I remember those serrated copper colored dials. My aunt upstairs had the top load washer with those same dials, but I don't think they lit up...and it was a filter-flo.

Jetcone,  Thank YOU.   I really appreciated  the video.  Amazing work on the GE.  It shined up like a new penny. Congratulations on a beautiful  job.  Arthur

Unbelievable!!!

I did not know that GE had a combo in 1955. What a wonderful restoration!!!!! You should be proud of yourself. I was much impressed.

The first combo I had any dealings with was the Bendix Duomatic (1956) just like the one sitting beside your GE. That was an interesting machine.

Many pats on the back for sticking with it and doing such a wonderful job!!!

A long restoration road for sure, but worth it. What a beautiful machine!

Thank you All

John, turquoisedude and PhilR are here and last nite we sat around eating dark chocolate and doing a load so we did a close observation and found that it does have a cool down cycle! After the first set point the burners shut off but the machine is soooo hot by then that it seems it wouldn't cool down but when we drew the towels out at the end they were "nicely warm" not scorching hot.

Nothing like what a GE dryer of that era was like.
