Pretty much. The first two generations of the new perforated wash-basket V-12's, which were 1961 models and heralded the change to a shallower cabinet depth, had their flumes in the 12:00 position. Later that year the flumes were moved to the side where they remained for more than 30 years.

When was the first ramp style activator brought out by GE?

Yes the Filter flo nozzle was in the front until the end of the 1961 line.

This is my 1961 GE, the last of the 12:00 position filter-flo's...

And moved to the front 7 o'clock position in the coin-op machines. They were built with the motor/pump in the front and the entire front panel was removable for easier service access when you had a row of them together.

Lid shape

Was the lid changed from square to the one with angled front corners at the same time?
