wish i could
That is a nice machine. A little fancier than the one I'm working on. I't take it if I were closer though. :-(

Nice Machine
Are there any dents or dings in the cabinet? I have a machine with a damaged cabinet that I could combine with this one.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Bill

I take it the straight-vane agitator came before the curved one with ramps?
I doubt it Steve. The GE's I saw throughout childhood and into adulthood had the cured/ramped activators. I hadn't seen a str8-vaned activator until I bought mine. (The exception is our mid-1950s GE, but taht was a totally different mechanical design and execution).

Straight Vane
Our 1969 Filter-Flo had a black straight vane agitator with three vanes.

This appears to be a Large Capacity (not Extra Large Capacity) machine, 2-speed, 3 water temp combinations, with infinite water level and mini-wash. Circa 1973-1975.

I'll have to look,but I think the cabinet is in good shape.There is a sizable chip in the porcelain top,near the left corner,somewhat visible in the first picture.
Right now the washer is on my delivery truck,parked elsewhere,I'll check tomorrow.

I thunk the curved/ramp agitators were for the mini baskets.Or am I off in left field?

Is it just the picture, or is the agitator cap smooth? I don't see any notches to hold the filter in place.
The filter pan notches align with the agitator fins on top. You can see the fins flatten out at the top where the pan goes on. These newer ones have a smaller diameter center than the old ones where the filter fit over the rubber agitator cap.

GE made mini-baskets for ramp and straight vane agitators.

GE Activator
I think the straight blade and the ramped agitators co-existed, just depended on what model one got

Anyone know how this particular agitator was performance wise?
The vanes on the skirt seem to be very short.

I looked it over today.The cabinet is in great shape,I didn't see a scratch anywhere on it.The only flaw is the chip in the top.It's about an inch or so long,maybe a half inch wide.
