What year would this washer be from?

[jasonl]

Here's a GE that's been in service since I was a child. Located at an aunt's house and hopefully will fall into my hands should the machine be replaced.

Any idea on a year for this one. It has two toggleswitches so it qualifies.

I'm guessing late 70s.

Sorry, it's a blurry phone pic. I had to move fast.

LOL on the moving fast Jason! Were you sneaking the pic? Are you still in the closet with your Aunt about "HER" washer?

1971 I'd say.

Good stealth work, Jason!

Almond, newer panel trim...late 70's

IMHO much newer than that.

I think this a machine from the late'80's. Almond color + white filter pan with smaller hub give that away--GE switched from blue plastic back to white in the mid 1980's and it stayed that way until the end of Filter-Flo. Having seen what I see I would guess 1988. Look's like a builder's model.

Cool Jason!

anybody else have stealth photos of washers they had too sneak??

Put 'em up for all to see!

Late 70s

I'm gonna stand at the late 70s on this machine. It wasn't long after they went to buttons. This one still has toggles. Maybe '77 or thereabouts.

This is the same aunt that has a coppertone 1-18 era Frigidaire stove and a GE Americana fridge also in copper... and a console stereo. She's the proverbial "little old lady" with the old stuff in her house.

I know this sounds gruesome but when she passes away I will be there with my dad's pickup.
