Got my dream machine today!!!

[jons1077]

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!

They will need some cleaning and TLC won't they???

and the washer panel

More cleaning and I will need to find that mini-basket since this one is missing. Shouldn't be impossible! Hope you all like!

and the famous naked picture...

This photo helped me find it! I can thank my lovely grandmother up in Heaven for taking this picture so many years ago.

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

Nice "Birthday" Gift

Avocado is my favorite color of that era

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?

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!
