Think it may be a '55 or '56... By '57, GE was using a stainless bow-tie impeller instead of the bakelite ones. Hope you hear back from the seller soon, Pete!!

so this one has a bakelite impeller?
the one i got in toledo has the stainless steel bowtie. wonder what shape this one is in? impeller especially, hope it's not cracked or broken, prob none around anymore. do these impeller models have a pump seal or is it like the impeller modern maid i have that simply has the shaft come up thru a stand tube and connect to the bakelite impeller at it's top, eliminating the need for a seal? guess i'll find out!

Flora waved her wand and changed it from blue to pank.
What a beautiful machine.
And, I imagine, a missing link between the blue vinyl racks of the bakelite impeller machines to the soon-to-be all pank bowtie impeller models . I hope this goes to a good home. Me, I'm holding out for a bowtie Mobile Maid. Preferably with four buttons, the magnetic detergent thingy and the coated wire silverware basket that looks, strangely enough, very much like the prototype in this model only rectangular.

Just looking at my GE Parts Sheets - I believe that this GE Portable is a Model SP40M1 (could also have a designation of SP40N or SP45N). The part sheets are dated April 1957 - so we can speculate that these portables were built sometime perhaps in 1956 into 1957.
The SP40P MobileMaid that I and other have, have Parts Sheets dated January 1958.
I considered this machine too, since I was just in Cleveland this past Wednesday, but I did not have access to continuous email access during those few days, so I did not try to make contact.

Oh, YES, this dishwasher has the Bakelite Impeller. The Bowtie impeller was introduced with the SP40P model.

hi mike,
i contacted the seller last week i think, sometime after the original posting and am driving to pick it up later this week. so it's still in the "family"!
was gonna e mail you anyway to ask if it uses a water seal around the shaft inlet to the tub or is it like my modern maid model that has a stand tube that rises up past the water level point?
i know larry in parma at modern parts told me he has a motor for it if i need it but the people say it runs. we shall see.
i'm sure i'll have questions for you when i get it.
thanks
