GE Filterflo?

Hello everyone,

Is this worth picking up? Seller is asking $200

I think the price is a little high for a washer that old,but could end up a very good washer-I think that washer is from about 1985-90

Price is too high for a low optioned machine. Make them aware it's a 40 year old washer and talk them down a bit on the price.

$200 is too much for something with not a lot of options. If it was a higher end machine with a matching dryer, I can see that. But just the washer with not many options? A bit too steep.

Can't tell from the photos if it's a single-speed or two-speed model (speed could be built-into the timer), also can't tell if it's standard capacity or large capacity; but I can see that it includes a Mini-Basket.

Hi folks. It says Large Capacity, it means standard capacity in the GE jargon of that timeframe. Also, a good hint to know is the water level selector. Mini, Small, Medium and Large = Standard. Mini, Small, Medium, Large an Ex Large = Full Size

Speaking for myself, that machine, if it's in good working condition, is worth the price just for all of the working parts which could be transplanted into many Filter-Flo's all the way back to the V-12's.
If you like it, why not? I'd love to have a working FF with a mini-basket again.
I can't think what the washbasket in good condition alone would bring, but I have 5 old machines that could be much happier with a new-ish tub without lots of rust and corrosion. Also, as time marches forward, these vintage machines are getting harder and harder to find. Most of what I see on Craigslists are current POS-es that cost a lot and are not worth spit.
