Mini Washer Museum in Washington

Jason, American Meter & Appliance is over by Lake Union, just north of downtown. Quite near both Jillian's Billiards and Buca di Beppo, if you know where they are. I've been by it a million times, but never stopped. I had no idea they had such a great collection. Brian, thanks for the great tip!

GE Sink Washer
The equipment laboratory at Oneonta State University had a GE Sink Washer. I am sure it has been removed by now. It was there in 1993, the last time I was in upstate New York. It was very expensive to install, I was told.

Hi Allen, good to see you posting again!
At the Convention, were you standing there when John was explaining the GE washersink? He mentioned that some sort of "junction box" (which I didn't realize) for the incoming water was required when installing one of these and the sink drain also needed to be plumbed into the wall. I believe he also mentioned that these were fairly difficult to install as well. That and the cost like you said are probably just a couple of reasons why they're so rare to begin with. One thing I thought was interesting about it was that instead of the Filter-Flo nozzle at the 2:00 position, the nozzle is at the 12:00 position and appears to be pointing downward into the filter pan. I'd certainly love to see one of these in person, or even better, find one!!!
Was the machine in the lab still working and being used the last time you saw it?
