Jimmy, outstanding. I wish someone around here knew the GE history right about that time. Friends of my parents had a similiar style set. The difference was, there were parallel knobs on each machine. On the washer, inbetween/middle of the two kinobs, was the turqoise water saver button that ya pushed down to activate. The 2nd know was water temp as well as "off". I remember our owners manual had a looseleaf marketing piece in it and I believe the temp dial was referred to as the fabri-flex dial. And here's the confusing part. The washer we got, to replace the 48 bendix to keep me out of it, did not have a FF in it. It looked just like the inside of this machine. However, the panel looked exactly like the FF Jon Charles has--center lighted dial with the copper accents and turqoise buttons on the right for water saver, hot, warm, and off. I did not have a FF, I would have remembered!! I wish someone around here could place exactlyu what we had. It also had on the front left of the cabine, in a turoise banner on the right, emossed with chrome automatic washer words.
