It is curious to me that a machine that deluxe has no lighted control panel.

It looks like it has a console light to me if I look at it closely, I even had to enlarge the screen to see it but I believe it would be hard to see because of the angle the picture was taken…

Yeah, I looked three times but didn't maximize the page. I agree with you re: the camera angle.
No light on this one. At this point in GE time, only the 'Americana' models had the fluorescent lamp, and they had an additional hood that housed it.

About what year would this be from?
I believe this one could be from 1967, 1968 or 1969. GE advertised the V-14 models in 1965 and 1966. They advertised V-16 in 1967 and 1968, but in the literature that I have they didn't use numbers in 1969, they claimed 'Huge Capacity" models. In 1970 they introduced the 18-pound models. I don't know if they used the "16" badge on the consoles in 1969 or not.
Correction to my above post - the models with fluorescent lamps was NOT limited to Americana models. In fact, the 1968 catalog shows quite a few washers with the light. But they all used the taller console with the added hood for the lamp.
