That's an old GE….

If nothing else, the script , door latch and round buttons gave it away for me

 

[ovrphil]

thanks... actually I thought the script identified it GE. but I really wasn't sure

Hmmmm... I sooner camped it to be an O'Keefe & Merritt... Until I looked closely at the script, then it said General Electric...  And the knob & control layout easily identifies it as GE, too...

Has the famous Silver Shower.

I wonder if that was one of the models it was never hooked up ?

Pity it's far away from me

Eddie, I didn't understand that last sentence; do you mean there were models with the Silver Shower where the GE factory failed to hook up the water to the little wash arm?

 

I would go for this one even though these were crappy machines. Pitiful and poorly made upper and lower racks and I see the tip of one of those clown-shoe wash arms which means that for all the noise, not a particularly good cleaner. This must be a TOL; one year later and there would have been Select-A-Level racks at least. Very pretty panel with an embossed design on the escutcheon that we had on a later TOL double-decker stove of theirs. I'd love to meet some of the industrial designers who worked on these things.

Pictures on CraigsList often can be viewed larger when there are multiple pics on an ad.  This typically works for me in Firefox --

1) Click on the main image in the ad which opens it in a floating frame (with forward/back buttons to scroll the pics).

2) Right-click on a picture and select "View Image" which makes it larger.

3) The mouse pointer placed over the picture is a "+" magnifying glass, click to view it still larger.

4) The browser back button returns to the frame-view to select another picture.

Good photos!

I'm using a tiny, Moto E phone right now..
so I don't have the option to post or view closely the photos. but what you did post, Glen,is extremely clear. I can see the General Electric writing on the front panel, as well

Hi Ken.
I seem to remember a discussion in Nate's Thread about his TOL Portable and something about there were a few there were not hooked up...

Oh, and I didn't realize the Clowns were running through the GE wash chambers that early. Such a stupid design in my own personnel opinion.

Hi End GE DW

This style control panel was used from around 1966 - 1971 on Hi End GE DWs.

 

This panel spanned two different pump and lower wash arm systems, the one for sale is the later style shaded pole motor style, this later style system was a HUGH improvement in water distribution and overall washing.

 

It is true that the last year of this style DW the DWs were built without the Silver-Shower being connected to water from the factory. GE discovered that not only did the SS not do any good but that it actually reduced the water pressure to the extent that overall performance suffered. When we serviced these DWs that had the SS GE included in pump kits a rubber plug that was to be installed under the SS wash arm to block all water flow to the SSWA.
