Thank you for the kudos. Tub shots and maiden wash shots to come. Am in process of cleaning them up, although I must say, they came to me in practically mint condition.
Turquoise up close is a dazzling color. It kills me that they discontinued it; one of the things I've been enjoying more than anything is looking at the exteriors of these machines. They must have come from a home where they were used either very little or were cared for as my grandmother did hers. Her 1963 Filter-flo looked brand new when we moved her out of her house in the late seventies. Ours looked like it had been through 3 campaigns. But it was still working when we left.
Was asked not to reveal their provenance by the vintage angel who bequeathed them to me. And I am extemely grateful.
I know I've bored you people to tears with my GE fetish, but, taking these machines apart(VERY slowly and carefully) makes me wonder why, oh why, if companies like that could make products that were so well crafted so many decades ago, how have we let them degenerate to what they are now? I think of Robert's AW-6(7?)which is 20 years older even than these and can out wash and out spin them and have to wonder who's at the helm????
...and now, the obligatory illustration:

A dream set of machines - most of us would commit felonies for a set like that. But the "secrecy" of the source baffles me. What is the big deal?
