Interesting mid 60s GE washer ad

We have a 1967 24" Wide GE FF Washer In The Museum

It is a fairly nice model, it has 2 speeds, Mini basket and even a florescent light.

 

In the 80s we saw a number of 24" GE FF Washers that were built in Venezuela, they were neat because they were built like the coin-op GE where the motor and clutch were in the left front of the machine and the cabinet was all steel [ no cheap flammable  fiberboard back ] with a removable front for easier service, it was neat because the FF water came in at the 7 o'clock position.

I have the green control panelled version in the pictures above, it all works as it should, except the outer tub is badly rusted along the top edges and it leaks like a seive. I do have an almost new 1980's machine, I've been toying with whether to swap the tops over or to tear down the almost new machine and take the outer tub out. All the older GE's I have for spares are so badly rusted that its almost impossible to get them apart.

There was a model above mine that came with a heater as well. Thats a lot of water to heat, even compared to all the other TL machines in AU at that time.

All push button GE

My Godmother has the same model. I would stand on a stool and watch it wash. I was around 5 years old and that was in 1974. So it could be a mid to late 60's model.

Mine doesnt have the switches, but I would assume the ability to force a cold rinse, plus ability to turn the heater on and off and then also select whether to do a cold only fill, or fill with cold plus hot.
