GE Mini-Basket Setup

[pulltostart]

Here's a Mini-Basket, Filter-Flo pan, and fabric softener dispenser. Appears to be the smaller size (Large capacity vs. Extra-Large capacity) and designed for the spiral activator.

GE Mini-Basket Setup

I had the set from a 1973 filter-flo that was baby blue. The guy I gave the machine to never even used the filter for 5 years after I gave it to him in 1992 until it died. The mini basket was trashed long ago. Now I wish I had the set to sell on ebay. The blue was much more retro.

My '78 Filter-Flo that came with this house also came with a pristine mini-tub. The mini-tub was stashed away in a cabinet in the garage, it took me some thought to realize it belonged to the washer in the main house. I used it a couple of times, for testing, and it's interesting how it works. I could see it of use for washing delicates, as the agitation is very gentle (only a hint of fins). I also like how the filter basket fits securely over the mini-tub, although it does block the view of the action.

Here's a composit shot of the minibasket washing some "delicates", and then a shot of how it does a solid-tub style overflow rinse spin drain (with filter basket in place).
