I found this add on craigslist and was wondering how old this Filter Flo is? It's close enough to me that I just might get it! CLICK HERE TO GO TO minermike's LINK on Scranton Craigslist | ||

I believe this is a late-70's model, with the strip of woodgrain across the top of the console. 2-speed, 3-temperature combinations, infinite water level control with mini-basket, optional 2nd deep rinse (in at least the "regular" cycle, maybe the PP cycle, can't tell from the photograph. It is the larger capacity machine.

Nope this is a 1976 or 1977 until about 1980 std. capacity, 3-speed combo, 3 temp combo, variable water vel, mini-wash in harvest gold looks like. I odn't think it's almond. This was about the TOL of the std. capacity machines by this time in their product life.
Well after blowing it up to 400%, looks like it is an ex-large capacity washer. I have never seen one like this--2 speed combo with 3 temp combos AND 2ND rinse This post was last edited 09/19/2010 at 19:32 | ||

Mid 80's; wood grain gives it away | ||

I still say 'late 70's'. Check the model number and I'm betting it's a "WWA83??V". Timer is identical to the WWA8470V, includes Regular Cycle, Polyester Knit Cycle, Perm Press Cycle, and Mini-Quick Cycle. Regular cycle has optional Automatic Extra Rinse. I also say it's a "large capacity" machine (not "standard capacity") because the standard machines did not include the woodgrain band over the top. The console changed in about 1982 such that the black blocks on this console were surrounded by woodgrain, with black band over the top.
If you get the machine - update us with what you've got. Lawrence | ||

April 1978
The Ex-Large Capacity washer I bought, with matching big-door dryer, had the exact same color hues on the timerr dial for the respective cycles and the woodgrain at the top of the console. the only difference between this machine and mine was the 5-temp combos between the two toggle switches (middle & lower) and the 3-speed combos on the top toggle switch. The only thing that I cannot tell is what coold-down sequence the PP cycle had. Mine had the short-lived Whirlpool type of sequence--partial drain, stop, fill with cold water, and agitate for 7 or 8 minutes then completely drain before the final deep rinse. I bought mine at Foleys in Houston, then I do believe a Federated store. Even the model below mine and above mine had the std. cool-down sequence of constant spray of cold water once the wter level switch was reset form the draining water. A coworker bought my exact model the following year and it resorted back to the std. cool-down sequences.

I'm waiting on the seller to call me back yet. Low and behold the washer is sitting on a back porch a block away from me! | ||
