YAY for Dispensalls!! This one works great, but like most, is missing the dispenser unit 
Aside from some minor tub rust (taken care of with POR-15...but got a little in the inner tub...oops!) and a cold water solenoid that is a little hesitant to close, it works fine, is one of the quietest machines I've heard, and is VERY fun to watch!

Like the solid-tub GE's, it starts on Gentle speed, then clicks and switches to Normal (of course it's a lot faster).
Further testing revealed that the clutch works perfectly!

But you said
<blockquote>Hint: Not Norge/Wards or Kenmore!!
I guess that leaves out GE, Maytag, Whirlpool, Westinghouse... </blockquote>
I took that to mean it isn't a Norge/Wards, Kenmore, GE, Maytag, Whirlpool, or Westinghouse.
But Kewl! I don't recall, do you have a minibasket that will work?

Great find, Austin! Is this a machine with the soak, double-wash and extra rinse options? I seem to recall seeing a Dispensall (they were around when I was about 16-18 years old, back in the days of dinosaurs and Led Zeppelin) that could theoretically use nearly 100 gallons of water for a single load.
Have fun at the convention, and don't let your Mom get too out-of-control, LOL! I wish I was going to be there to meet everyone.

whoops, should have looked at pics first
I only have computer access at work, and don't always get a chance to read all the posts or look at all the pics before I ask questions. No double wash, but an excellent acquisition, none-the-less.

great austin
That machine is fun,fun,fun. How is that straight vane's wash action? I bet someones going to put a spiral activator in this puppy ; )
Your going to have a great time with that machine Austin. All the best.

Ohhhh VERY FUN!
Congrats Austin, what a great machine you've found. A perfect replacement for the DD! There is nothing like a good Ker-Klunk at the end of your spin.

Yay!
Great find Austin!
Looks like your new find is in great shape!
Is it the straight vane agitator?
I am sure that you will find the Mini Wash Basket for it.
I hope that you come across the dryer. I always liked the matching dryer for this washer. It was huge! I think that Greg N still has one.
Thanks for the pictures!

Oh, yeah-the matching dryer
Those old Deluxe GE dryers were 31 inches wide and had a HUGE 8 cubic foot drum (I think). Much bigger than any of the current machines. Less wrinkles that way!

A matched pair!
I'm pretty sure I saw the matching dryer at the same place. We may have to go back out there and check it out. Room in the laundry shed is slowly running out, but heck for $20.00, acquiring the matching dryer may be worth it.

What a great find Austin. I have never seen one in person. How does the dispenser work? Why is it not really a true filter-flow? You have to admit GE (in the good old days) did come up with very unique ways of doing things.
BTW, the BIG dryer that is said to be the match to this is pretty easy to recognize. Like Partscounterman said look for a huge door. Almost the whole front of the dryer. And when you open it the the opening is a complete circle not just a semicircle like all other GE's. My Grandmother had one (from 1978 I think) it had the exact same panel as this washer except the middle had the small (blender-like) buttons instead of knobs.

Venus, just like Dave described, a huge sideswing door opening from left to right. Instead of the drum access shaped like an upside down "D", it will be completely round. The control panel will match exactly. It will say something like "Electronic Sensor control Dryer with extra-care and signal" (the one that wakes the dead. Cycles will be poly/knits on the upper left right of timer and regular/perm press on upper right hand of timer. The bottom half will be timed dry from 10-60 minutes. There will be two sets of small vertical buttons (on & off) for the extra care and signal. The left side will have five buttons vertically aligned in a column like the toggle switches on the washer. Will have (bottom to top) push to start, air fluff, delicates--low heat, perm press/poly knits (either medium, special, or normal heat designations), and cottons high or normal heat. The lettering on the siddes of the buttons as well as the timer dial will match the font & color combinations of the washer.
Austin, I'm amazed the clutch is still working correctly. That's why I got rid of mine--no gentle speed anymore and was gonna cost more than the machine was worth to fix it--plus being a water hog.
