Nice save. I still see those regularly, they are nice washers. MOF, I just scrapped the matching gas dryer to that washer.
The protective film, if it's left on for years, can be a real pain to remove.

Thanks for the pics...
Great to see behind the back panel of the US Hotpoint - particularly to compare it to the UK Hotpoint Top Loader design. No surprises to find that the UK machine is practically identical - it must have been based on the GE filter-flo - perhaps this was why Hotpoint UK had to re-name their machines for export. The UK Hotpoint had an identical motor/chinese-lantern/pump arrangement, and of course had a spiral-agitator and filter-clean tray like the GE machines.
One question for US GE experts - who came up with the spiral/ramped agitator first? AEI-Hotpoint introduced their Top Loader in 1966, which was the first appearance of the "unique" spira-clean gyrator (to use AEI's term) - when was the first GE with a spiral agitator?

Is that top-loader you show us every so often (With a suds-cake) a Hotpoint? Any chance of seeing it nekked?
I'm curious now to see the inner workings.

Brings back memories! We had the same machine, maybe a few years newer with the handwash agitator below the ramp. Ours was TOL and was really fun to watch! The filter ring is self cleaning when the pre rinse spray activates! Awesome machine!
vids please!

Great find Gary! Those 'Hotpernts had all the advantages of their GE bretheren without having to clean that nasty filter-pan. Congratulations!
If not the very first, one of them..
