This is the first model of the roll out design. It still had the timer that ran off the main motor. In the coming years it would have the dial above the handle on the front to show the stage of the cycle. This 48" dishwasher sink combo is probably similar to model SE-40M which had the faucet mounted on the backsplash instead of the sink deck like this one and was introduced in 1955. The bowtie models came along in 1957.
OMG I just acquired a service manual for what may be this electric sink! If I am right, this is a 1954 SE-113 electric sink. The dishwasher design is quite neat - the main drive motor does everything: it drives the timer, the wash impeller, reverses to drain the tub, and blows air into the tub to speed up drying.
Hope you can save it, Mike!!

OK guys, there is another GE electric sink, look in the Seattle, WA craigslist under "retro GE sink"... it's not in color, but they do show the racks and a motor shot...
(and sorry I don't know how to attach a url link...)

Early Roll Out GE Built-In DWs
As Tom and Paul were telling us these neat DWs had a little gear box on the bottom of the machines motor and drove the timer which was all GE built and completely reparable. The main motor did not reverse to drain however as that would have made the timer start running backwards, LOL, but instead operated a cam that opened a drain valve. A friend of my Moms had one of these many years ago that I used to work on it occasionally, there was a little 10 AMP fuse for the motor that would blow every now and again, I think that I have a box of those fuses if anyone ever needs one.

The way those GEs drained kept their performance below that of the WH machines of the period. Because the motor of the GE had to operate during the drain, it did not allow food particles to settle out before the drain. The WH machines stopped the motor and had a small separate motor operate the drain pump so water was not being thrown about as the machine drained.
