I didn't know they made washers. This is my RCA:

It looks too new to be an RCA Whirlpool. It looks pretty late 80's in style. It also seems to be somewhat more BOL.

It looks like these were made by GE. They even have some RCA branded FL machines with touch screens on them. Walmart sells them somewhere.

Whirlpool and RCA parted ways years ago.  RCA appliances at the vintage of the pictured machine, and presumably still today, are a GE product

That RCA turntable looks almost exactly like a Magnavox.

Could that "RCA" TT have been made by Collaro-the same company that builds Magnavox TT's?Its a nice TT-looks like for a component system-or to be played thru a radio or TV with an aux input jack.

Yes, it is a Collaro. It predates most component systems so I would guess it is meant to be run through a radio. That is how I use it, into the gram socket of my mid '50s HMV table top set. I also have a Collaro reel to reel tape recorder which contains 2 motors identical to the one in the RCA. The RCA comes with 2 motor pulleys to run on 50 or 60 Hertz. The radiogram under it in the photo is my much modified RGD, which I think is a 1948 model. The guy who gave me the RGD fitted a Quad pre-amp, Quad FM tuner and an American made David Bogen amplifier. He also swapped the turntable from the original 78 only one to a Garrard RC88 3 speed.

Do you have a picture of the Collaro RR tape machine-never seen one under the Collaro brand.

Reel to Reel

The electronics are by the "Sound" brand so it is just the deck that is Collaro. It is unusual in that it plays in both directions so you play one side then press a different play button to play the other side of the tape.

Very nice semi portable tape machine.And the reverse function is unusual.Never seen a Collaro tape deck in the US.In a 1958 Allied Electronics catalog I have they list the Collaro TT's-one of them is like yours pictured.It could be fitted with a mono or stereo cartridge depending on the system it was used with.
