This one is a WA950V; second down from TOL
Jetcone, as always, your welcome, but remember, as I keep saying, that page was from one of those old GE "Planner" catalogues and is missing several models, most notably the one Mark has. This was also the first year GE changed the back access to the machines including an indentation in the frame so they could be installed flush to walls, etc. It was a pain in the a** compared to the Maytags because you had to have standpipes and faucets in unusual places such that the water couldn't be shut off after each use unless you were very clever.
Interesting that this machine doesn't have the "V-12" trademark stamped anywhere on it. Might have had a sticker on the cabinet, like the other one that is long gone. This model, like mine was made in 1960, early in the model year. The filter-flo flume, for some reason, was moved over towards the right in the middle of the model year.
Mark in Virginia has a 1961(or bastard 1960)model that is one rung down from this one on the appliance "luxe" scale. I've guessed it to be a WA850V(but with GE, you never know). I hope he posts pictures of it because it is near identical to this model only without the Rotary Fabric Dial and with different dial(illuminated) and panel colors.
I have deduced that there was a similar Rotary Fabric Dial model in the 1960 "Golden Anniversary" line. It would have been model #WA950T. Have only seen a hint of it in a repair manual. Will post an illustration of what it might have looked like.
am ridiculously happy about this find.
