GE NON-FilterFlo Set

Badly wrinkled

and FADED too! Jeez.

My Mom always obsessed about having her laundry come out of the washer unwrinkled. I could never understand what difference that made, since she was going to iron everything anyway. But she crowed and crowed about how clothes came out so wrinkle free when she used the Wash and Wear cycle on her new 1968 Whirlpool with cold water. Unwrinkled they might have been, but they weren't clean because of its slow agitation with cold water, and they came out sopping wet because it used slow spin. Then by the time they finally drip dried in the basement, they were sour too. I hated that machine! And to this day I still can't understand why people love BD Whirlpools.

Because they are better than a Maytag.

Congratulations Jimmy...very nice set! It's strange seeing that familiar Activator without the filter mount on it!

What really intrigues me though is that 2-belt clutch! How on earth did that work? I'm assuming it shifted the power between the two belts depending on the direction the motor was turning, similar to the Multimatic?

Austin, because ours was a non-ff, this looks so very normal to me.

Thanks Brent!, Bring some dirty laundry and come and play with them sometime. BTW my new GE Wall Refrigerator is almost up on the wall, I remember how much you loved the other ratty one that I had. This one is much nicer!

Appnut, Got it. I feel kind of stupid because I previously read that post, but didn't make the connection... And I discovered that a search on a post# will not return a result.

Anyway, you referred to the "...FF Jon Charles has...". I was trying to locate a pic of that machine on this site, but I didn't see it in his collection photos. Maybe I'm missing it again, but if you can direct me to a pic (or send one) that will help.

Joe, I"ve emailed Jon to ask him if he has a pic of the machine and have him post it here. We'll have to see. Gasnky1 had it b4 Jon, but I don't know if Greg took any pics or not. Will have to be patient.
