1980ish MOL in PA. Nice though.
Whats with the tub? It looks like a solid/perforated hybrid? Why did GE do this, and for how long? I've only ever seen one Hotpoint like this, made somewhere from the 70s if I had to guess the age.

This one would have been produced from 1977-1979. In 1980 the control panel was redesigned.

Not bad for a ~35 year old machine
Here in CT, a store called Caldor's had GE's with this styling (with wood grain "touches", yickk) and that washbasket with the weird perforations (I'm not a hydrodynamics expert but would the pattern ever make a difference?)
Still, if you are a FF fan, you could do worse and you can exchange the Straight-4 Activator (which, along with the oversized filter-pan, specifically for the Mini-basket that isn't offered here) for one of the newer Spiral ones easily.
Come to think of it, maybe those top rows of large perforations were designed to accommodate the "throw" from the spinning Mini-basket. ?
