Notice anything different?

I'll give you a hint...it's NOT the increase in vacuums or the decrease in space!

Look closely in the above photo...

Because here's the "mystery machine" I was talking about earlier, a mid-80's GE Filter-Flo in Harvest Gold! It's really in great shape for being 20-some-odd years old; aside from a couple of rust holes in the outer tub that I ground out and epoxied, and of course a good cleaning, it didn't need much else. As with my Dispensall, the 2-speed clutch still works perfectly!

Standard-capacity tub (which I had been wanting) and Ramp Activator. Now I wish I had hung onto the standard-capacity Mini-Basket that goes with it!

Left shot of the control panel showing the speed controls. I'm at a toss-up as to what I like more...the earlier toggle switches, or the later chrome pushbuttons!

Infinite water level, and 3 temperature combinations.

Now for the timer...3 cycles. After a little contact cleaner/lubricant it's turning easily again! The Permanent Press cycle has that awesome constant-spray rinse on the first spin, similar to the 1-18. I believe the '77 Dispensall does that as well, but I'm not positive.
