Fantastic
Thanks for posting. Eddie
I can't remember, but I noticed the Dishwashers that are offered would be the Roll out tub and the Front Load Door. Was this GEs first year for the Front Loading Built in ?

Fantastic! Thanks for the scans. I've seen the sink-washer at John's in Maryland but didn't realize there was an undercounter dryer too, very interesting.
I do love me a good brochure. Thanks for posting it. That utility-top washer/sink is wild! Can you imagine having a sink full of dishes rattling around during an unbalanced spin? I just can't fathom having a spigot and hot/cold faucets on the control panel of my washer. Cool!
One is so taken aback by the novelty of the washer/sink that you almost don't notice the classy, suspended console on the TOL washer and dryer. High style, indeed.

Sink/Washer
I think that particular setup was aimed at a 'laundry sink' type of application - not a primary kitchen sink. Just a novel way of getting a sink and running water into the laundry room without actually having to have the space and money for a real sink.

Thaks for posting Lawrence. I've also seen that utility top washer at John's. Always wondered if thre was some sort of companion dryer, now I know. One neighbor had the WA650 when they bought one of the houses down the street (hubby had a cool baby blue 57 T-bird conveertible). I honestly don't remember whether they had a dryer or not. The washer that replaced this when it died was just like our Kenmore 800. And they ended up with a RotoRack just like ours too. Another neighbor got the DA620, very basic dryer.
Eddie, I do believe ths was the 1st year of the new dishwasher design with the wash arm--hence still offering the impeller rol out too.
These are great scans.......do you have every year of the 1960's?........
Mom's was close to WA650W.....but only one cycle, 2 wash temps, 2 water levels.....she bought hers in 1964, when I was born, but I don't think that was its actual year.....I'm thinking she got a 63 leftover.....have never seen another one like it since

I don't have the full collection. I think the others I have are 1963, 1965 and 1966 (already posted the 1968 in another thread).
I do think 1961 was GE's first year for the front-loading dishwashers, and 1962 was the last year for the rollout models (bajaespuma should know for sure).
The dryer for the utility sink/washer model was designed to have a plastic-laminate countertop over it, so it could sit adjacent to cabinets/millwork and have one continuous top over the cabinet and the dryer - making it look "built-in".

1962 GE CATALOG
Thanks for posting this Lawrence I have never seen the specs for my GE sink top washer. I knew that they made an under-counter dryer but have never seen one of these, If someone ever finds one they want to part with I would be very interested in buying it. I also have the GE under-counter combo pictured in the catalog, Thanks again I really enjoyed seeing this.

The range section!

Thank you very, very much!
Lawrence, you're a hero! And yes, it looks like 1962 was the year of the decade that GE <span style="text-decoration: underline;">went back</span> to offering a front loading built-in dishwasher with a new design. They left the SU-102 as the one pull-out model left for sale (probably to get rid of existing parts) as the year's BOL, and, coincidentally, that was the dishwasher I got from wonderful Mr. Mayer in Worcester which I still have. The two new front-load TOL dishwashers were rated #1 by Consumer Reports for that year, 1962, but they must have changed something drastic because the next year or so, those models plummeted in the ratings.
I'm going to enjoy looking at these!

Such fun these are...
And I'm sure you're a busy guy...
but...
if you get the chance, I, and probably everyone else, would love to see the '63, '65, and '66 brochures...
thanks so much for scanning these...
I'm still looking for the washer we had, and thinking it must be in one of the remaining brochures...
