Wow

Congrats to Robert and Fred on this amazing new find! The mintier the better and i am just amazed at this machine!
 
Robert,

Are you sure that machine didn't leave Appliance Park about a month ago?  I can't believe how pristine everything is for having sat in a basement for so long.  It was nothing but pure karma that you should acquire this beauty.  Congrats!!!
 
NEW V-12 GE WASHER

WOW thats in great shape, its really great that some people that took such good care of things like this that they didn't even use. I am sure that she always though that one day she might get around to having it hooked up and learning to use it. Tom has almost the same model in great shape and I worked on more of these than I could ever remember. This was the model the model that Levett used in thier homes here in Maryland, [except the 1 speed non suds-saver ] and they built over 30,000 homes here. When you start to use it be sure that all the feet are adjusted properly as these GEs were notorious for walking before they added the self-leveling rear legs. Have fun with it Smitty and I will be out to visit soon.
 
WAIT!

Before you put one drop of water in that fine looking REAL washer,you should actually invite G.E. representatives over with notepads,so they can take notes on how to build a real machine, and how smooth it runs. Everytime I see what they're charging for appliances they make today,one word comes to my mind, LARCENY!
Yes, I think every manufactuer needs a refresher course on how to make things right. Enjoy your machine, and have a nice day.

Congrats......and admiration......it couldn't have fell into better hands......

How about a DVD video?.....I'd be the first on the list to want one

I loved how this machine hid the water valves, so it was able to sit flat against the wall.........great memories of my Mom's......Thank you again

grab the plexiglass for operating this machine with lower water levels, not optional, you will get soaked, that activator means business!!!.....lol
 
Miraculous!

Congratulations, Robert!  Was it luck?  Fate?  Karma?  It doesn't matter.  It's hard to believe that lovely washer has lasted so long in such pristine condition, with not so much as a cobweb in sight.  I bet you didn't get much sleep last night and made a bee-line back to the basement the minute you woke up this morning!  Such a wonderful piece of appliance history couldn't have gone to a better, more appreciative home.  I can't wait to see it!
 
WOW Robert,

Absolutely amazing!!

It had to feel somewhat surreal to lay eyes on it  ..... I can only imagine.

I absolutely love when synchronicity "kicks in" and truly amazing encounters like what you experienced "just happen."

Relish the moment and feeling.

Can't wait to see it in action and feel that "time machine" sensation.

psf
 
Robert,

I'm in complete agreement with Don, you need to find a vintage Homart (Sears) suds tub so this beauty can really strut her stuff.  Even my wife is impressed, and jealous.  Now that's saying alot!

 

 

 

P.S. I seem to remember that you don't care to reuse your wash water, am I correct?

Essential question :P

Hello! Awesome machine!

However, as I am not much into vintage washers (specially American), I am gonna ask an probably essential question that everyone knows lol

What is Suds return option for? and how does it work? on that button I could also see the ''Save'' option too, what's that all for?

Thanks a lot indeed,
Dex
