Lady Of A Different Lineage

[gansky1]

This just arrived Saturday afternoon, delivered from Cincinnati. You may remember the Hotpoint Lady Executive posted for sale here posted the first week of July. It looks to be in very nice condition overall and sounds good. I'll do some preventative restore work on her before putting into regular service, check the outer tub, boot, clutch, etc. It was purported to have a leak but I've not had a chance to water test it yet.

Her money shot after a quick freshening up after the journey

Totally Cool!

I've always liked the Lady Executive ad that rotates through the POD, but have certainly never seen one. I'm guessing this is late '60s, probably about the last gasp of real Hotpoint before it became GE-Lite. Thanks for posting!

Nice find Greg. Congratulations!

I just love those feature laden control panels. Looks to be a well optioned machine.

Looking forward to more pictures.

Wow that machine is super cool!! I've never seen this first TOL GE made Hotpoint washer in person, looking forward to it that's for sure.

Awesome Find!
I grew up with this washer and matching gas dryer for about 8 years.
Dryer lasted longer than the washer.
Fun washer and dryer pair.
Great Sounds from the washer is what is in my memory.
Fun!

Greg that is really AWESOME!   CONGRATS!

 

So am I to assume, being the first GE built Hotpoint, it's a perforated tub?

 

Does the control panel light up???

 

YAY!!!

Very Nice Find Greg...

 

[foraloysius]

Now that is a control panel! Love it! To me the machine doesn't look very wide, or am I imagining things?

Cool find!

 

[frigilux]

Great score! Hotpoint must have made washers for JC Penney, as friends in Seattle had a JC Penney with the same agitator. Congratulations!

The Lady

Oh, nice looking washer and all those selections, Time, Temp, Wash Action and Wash and Rinse selections, doesnt get much better..

Whats the spin speed and capacity?

 

[pulltostart]

Now THAT'S 'washing machine bling'!!!

Very Cool Mid 1970s GE Style Hotpoint Washer

Greg what year is this machine exactly ?, the mid 1970s was about the last of the great styled washers and dryers in this country that were full of mechanical complexity. As we moved into the 1980s most of the really complex machines were gone but quality and longevity increased dramatically, which is what makes finding one of these over the top last of the complex wonders of laundry machines so rare.

Lady!

Greg this is a beautiful washer. We had the second series from 1977 TOL like this with back opening lid. It was a real workhorse!

 

[jetaction]

Wow!

Fully featured like none other, just like you!

 

[moparguy]

Cool and beautiful! I love all those dials!

 

[turquoisedude]

Congratulations, Greg! That's a unique washer - I've never seen a control panel with quite as many dials... LOL Does this model feature the lift-off agitator with the 'delicate' agitator beneath?

Can't wait to see the maiden wash!!

 

[aldspinboy]

As I go in and out of my friends home today in Margate AC..for some air and see this beauty,
on the PC makes me feel at home that you got a Gem.

Nice find Greg !
Love that you can have hours of soak time, your whites will be at there best.
Will you use the handwash agitator ...
Enjoy !

The Legendary Lady Executive

Certain people like me go nuts every time the POD cycles by.

This is the one you can program to wake you up with the sweet sound of water spin-draining after the soak.

Finally, someone has one. Perfect. Wondering if Jackie was the shipper.

In my colorful memory, it's always lilac. And there's always hope you'll paint her in that hue ;'D

You gave me the Mark XII, and now you have "THEE," only-one-known-to-exist, Hotpoint Lady. How cool is that?!

 

[rickr]

Very cool Hotpoint Greg! Congrats!

 

[goatfarmer]

Nice save!

 

[cadman]

Greg, that's sharp! Keep us posted on the progress.

 

[mtn1584]

Best of luck................

she is a beautiful washer, looks brand new right out of the box!!!! Love how GE kept the unique side opening lid before going to the GE lid on later Hotpoints. Obivoulsy this agitator would go on in the next line of Hotpoints..the two in one, handwash agitator!!!! PLEASE POST MORE PICTURES, AND PLEASE POST SOME VIDEOS!!! I love this console, and the lid with the GE cabinet, I almost wet myself!! LOL

[swestoyz]

Ooooo, very cool. Love the Hotpont lid!

 

[oldskool]

So Much

...style and glitz! The adjustable soak - for hours - can you believe it? What a cool feature. Wonder what happened to that concept.

Congratulations.

What a stunning Hotpoint! I always wondered how it dispensed detergent for the second wash, is it solenoid controlled? I imagine a lever comes up from the space on the left.

Hotpoint "Lady Executive" Clothes Washer.....

In my own humble opinion, I think this one is from the early-mid 1970's if I am not mistaking...

Cool Washer Nonetheless!!!!

[chaskelljr2]

But question though!!!!

If GE made Washers for Hotpoint, then how come those old GE Filter-Flo's seem to run on for ever and ever, and the Hotpoints tend to have such short lifespans???

That is if they supposedly had the same innards???

I even read/heard that the JC Penney's were built like tanks and they ran forever as well...

[ovrphil]

...and trailing behind here with the compliments....wow wow wow. Every time I see something that comes from another era, I can't believe they made such great looking machines.These deserve a great location to be seen - hope you enjoy them and ..waking up in the middle of the night to look at them, check to see they didn't walk out ....is normal.

Congrats - beautiful machines.
