And it still has the mini-basket! Sorry about the sideways photo of the bakelite agitator.
Looks well cared for or low use. Drool!!!
Looks like the same vintage as the white pair our neighbors had for many years.
Nice find!

Excellent find!! Nice that the mini-basket is still with it, too. Congratulations!
Congratulations! Do you think it will cause a surcharge to be added to your water bill?
No doubt a surcharge to be added since we're moving into year four of a drought! Too bad it doesn't have a suds-saver feature. Did GE ever have any machines that had that option?
Suds Saver
Yes, I know the first generation of F-Flos had suds saver model(s) mentioned in ad copy.

Congrats on another fun find!

If you have a second top loader, you can reuse the water by just adding a bit more detergent and wash two loads with the one tub of water. That would be even better than having a sudsaver since the water would not have a chance to cool while the machine completed its rinse and spin portion of the cycle AND a second washer is far more exciting than a laundry tub.

Thank you all for the kudos. Great machine -- plugged it in and ran on spin cycle -- extremely quiet and even the brake is quieter than my newer GE. Can't wait to get water to it and take for a test drive. Will keep you posted! Gotta love the bakelite agitator!
Congratulations on a Great Find!
I have a 1964 model with Suds Saver.

Rocky2,
Thanks for the shot of the suds saver control panel on your GE. I've never seen one on that model before. Pretty neat.

For those of us ...
... who don't understand the mechanics of a suds saver, I found this link:

I believe my grandmother's old wringer had a suds saver. She kept it in the basement and I only remember her using it once or twice. It was on wheels and she rolled it over to a twin soapstone sink to use it.
Upstairs in a hallway off the kitchen was a niche with 'regular' laundry hook-ups. G'ma did 99% of her laundry in an automatic there. I can't remember the name, but I'd recognise the control panel if I saw it. The name was written in a slanted print font with the letters connected at the bottom. She never did get a dryer, lol.
