Andrew, that is exactly just like the FF I bought in April, 1978. Same cycles on the dial in the same order (and the same cycle color shades). The only differencfe with mine was it had only 3-speed combos and not the separate wash & spin speed toggle switches. THAT's the model I would have preferred if it would have been available.

A friend of mine who moved to Dallas in the early 1980s, she bought this exact model about a year or 1.5 years after mine. There is one otehr difference than mine--the Perm Press cycle. Mine had the kenmore/whirlpool/Maytag kinda cool down--partial drain, fill back up and agitate. This one has a continuous spray rinse once the water level is "reset".

There was a programmed model one above this ebay model - but this was TOL for me too, much more flexible. The books I have from 86 have the button-programmed Spotscrubber washers, which were usually the TOL through the end of the design. I think I remember Scott O. and I saw a programmed model with slanted control panel and membrane covered pushbuttons at a shop in Hastings a few years back - a 94 model. GE did get a little strange at the end, dropped the FF and quality took a nose-dive. I've seen many of these pre-95 machines with massive oil leaks.

One of my friend's daughters who is in school in WY needs a set for an apartment she and a friend are renting in May so I'll grab these, check them out - have a little fun with them and send them on to a new home. Price is right too! Hopefully they won't need too much work - I'll post pics of them later tonight. |

I didn't win the GE Filter Flo. VERY bummed right now, but someone outbid me by one dollar. I had to take a call from my boss and lost out at the last minute. =(( At least someone was able to save it. |

Am sorry to hear that, know you had your heart set on this unit, but fear not something good is going to come your way! Hate being distracted during the final minutes of an auction for an item am really interested in, in fact pretty much block everyone and thing out until things have finished. Woe to anyone who pesters me for a "chat" when I have my game face on! *LOL* L. |

Thank you. Not the end of the world. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I potentially may score another Filter Flo. It all depends on how much it will cost to ship it to me. Wish me luck! |

Sorry to hear you lost - I missed out on my dream machine - or so i thought - on there once - I was crushed. It wasn't the exact model i wanted but close enough. Outbid buy 50cents! But you know what - my dream machine came a few months later - and it was in great condition and I didn't pay one cent for it! So don't worry - a better machine is on its way! MAtt |
