detergent

dispensor. i have found these to "leak' detergent out before main wash but what the heck! it's still a beauty!

 

[rollermatic]

tub looks good

and the plastic coating is very new looking except in one spot which i'll show in a minute here.

 

[rollermatic]

racks look good

little yellowing on left side of bottom one. silverware basket is new looking!

 

[rollermatic]

top rack

looks great!

I hope you will mix up some epoxy and coat those scratches where the silverware basket passes over the door. It's a shame they did not put the piece of plastic there sooner. You are lucky it is not more scratched and rusted.
I hope you have fun with your new toy.

now for the scary part

this one section of bottom tub makes me cringe! i know that these pastic coated tubs will rust out readily if water gets thru a break in the plastic coating! we had a g.e. and it started to rust really bad! the plastisol (or whatever it is called) kept peeling and peeling!

i'm afraid to put water in this one till i make sure this problem area is fixed and sealed!

 

[rollermatic]

anyone have a tip

on what to use to coat this plastisol possible rip?

it could just be a rusty water spot, don't know yet, don't even have machine in house yet!

 

[rollermatic]

thought about coating area with

silicone.

 

[rollermatic]

doesn't look too

good in close up!

gonna get it inside tomorrow, hope to work on it this week. no water will touch it's tub till i am sure it is sealed!

gonna paint outside of tub bottom also with my rustoleum rusty metal primer.

love these old g.e. pumps

amazing such a little pump can move so much water thru that huge spray arm!

always did love those big huge water jets! as a kid i used to go to the stores and just stare at em! i was weird!

[rollermatic]

lets see the motor and drain pump

looks good!

 

[rollermatic]

drain pump made out

of metal, prob aluminum.

one of my other g.e. mobile maids has a pllastic lower drain pump. larry in parma said it was a replacement pump and the originals were metal.

 

[rollermatic]

entire bottom area looks

like new, including drain hose

 

[rollermatic]

looks

wonderful! i've seen worse!

[rollermatic]

top of tub has a layer

of insulation on it that has a cut out.

 

[rollermatic]

it pops out

to get to where the power shower hose would enter tub.

but this little bol model has no power shower.

 

[rollermatic]

the g.e. stamp

of approval!
