If anyone might have what I would consider my most sought-after (not only for styling but sentimental value) machine, that being the 1957 GE Filter-Flo with the salmon-colored timer dial and selector levers, would they consider trading for a 1963 Frigidaire pair? The Frigidaire pair is identical to the white pair whose photo was posted the other day by another member. I snagged the pair off of a bargain-trading web site as it had been left behind in a home in Ohio and the new owners just wanted the pair outta there. The man over the phone said, "Oh, the pair is probably about twenty years old," and I could hear his wife yelling, "It's MUCH OLDER THAN THAT!" The dryer is a gas dryer and I have no gas hook-up. Washer seems to work fine as far as the agitation and spin features, but I've not had the opportunity to hook it up to see about the filling operation although I have no reason to suspect there's any trouble.
I credit the 1957 GE Filter-Flo in my maternal grandparents' kitchen in their flat in San Francisco when I was a young'un as being that which got me interested in mechanical gadgets... that, and their 1946 Magnavox radio/phonograph.
Anyway, if anyone believes it would be a fair trade and is interested and either has the GE of which I speak or knows where I can find it on a trade, please beam in.
Thank you -
