OK, it's official now and no better day to find it but on my birthday! I scored my long lost dream machine, the avocado green 3-speed GE from 1969 and it's matching high speed electric dryer! I couldn't be happier!!! Here are a few photos. More to come soon!

and a thank you

To Patrick (pdub). Patrick was such a great guy for getting these for me. I'm still in Virginia and I called Patrick practically frantic asking him if he could get these for me and he did. What a guy!!!

Thanks Patrick so much!
 
Great GEs

I'm in Manassas, and I know how hard it can be to find good machines in the DC area. There are so many people who "update" their appliances every 5 yers, the used places are full of new junk, and the great stuff is too old to be marketable.

Congrats, and enjoy,
Dave
 
Jon - what a great story!! I think maybe it was a birthday present from grandma??? Just gotta love it......those GEs will last you forever.
 
Oh, come on!!

Pete's right, for perspective, we need both shots. You have the machine, why not? ;-)

Congrats on the new machines, Jon! And a shout out to pdub too, a little help from the "sympathetic few" that will pick up wayward appliances for a friend -- isn't this a great group?
 
gansky

Yup, Patrick was so cool for doing this! What a friend! He gave me a call last night to update me on them. He got them home just fine and did a little testing. Hopefully in a the next week or two we can get out there to move them to our house and maybe clean them up a bit. He's going to send more pics today or tomorrow too.

Thanks for the support guys!
 
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS

I'm at the Apple store waiting to get a new battery; my laptop crashed last night. So while
I'm waiting for my appointment at the "Genius Bar" I though I'd check in when a floor person comes over and says, "HI How ya goin" Fine, I say.

He then says "Watch your content.

I say Oh it's okay it's Automatic Washers

He says No I saw what was up there. We can't have that,

That's little Jon at his grammy's washer. It's not kiddieporn. He walked away. I'm laughing. Ah Aworg, the bane of the universe

Guess I may have the battery that could have caught fire before the screen simply went to black and the computer died.

When I get to the Moron Bar, I can't wait to say "Better be more concerned about starting your customers on fire than seeing a club member's totally innocent baby picture. Sheeesh.

Jon, GE's are amazing and I Have extra mini-baskets. What size?

haha...That is too funny. I guess porn is in the eyes of the beholder huh? Maybe to some it's porn, but to the average person I definetly think it's just a cute picture. Hey, it helped make a dream come true so the picture will get framed and put on the wall right behind this washer. I'm very sentimental and it's easy to see why with that picture.

It would be awesome if you had a mini-basket!!! It's a V-16 with the turquoise straight 3-vane agitator. You wouldn't happen to have fabric softener dispensers too would you??? I will attach a couple of pictures that Matthew has posted on here (GEextrarinse).
