Mike - There is not much to go by on that pic, and I'm not a GE expert, but those machines look like mid 70s to mid 80s machines - maybe closer to the 80s considering the white filter. I do know that the washer has an easily replaceable transmission, however whether or not they are still readily available, I'm not sure. GE at one time had a rebuild-reman program where people could swap tranmissions at a participating parts supply store about as easily as you can swap your car's alternator at Autozone (where you take the old one back for a core-charge credit). I checked ebay briefly - There was at least one Filter-Flo transmission available there for $70. Gordon | ||

thanks guys..... thanks everyone, your info. helps. I might drop by and see them and then run by the parts supply house locally to see if I'd have many issues getting the parts for them. | ||

Clockwise...counter-clockwise....
Interesting that the dryer timer pictured above is clockwise oriented, yet the timer on Jon's dryer (thread #18329) is counter-clockwise oriented. Does anybody know the logic behind G.E.'s engineering and why they wouldn't just remain consistent with timer rotation directions? Thinking back, the only G.E. dryers that I remember using had the timer that was counter-clockwise oriented. I always thought that was just how G.E. dryer timers were, much like the counter-clockwise timers on center-dial Maytag dryers. Was surprised to see in the above photo that they did it both ways. | ||

If that is a matching set, I would guess later 80s to early 90s, judging by the consoles. My aunt bought a similar model in 1988. Have a good one, James | ||
