Consumer's Returds kept harping on and on about the raised control panels and how morons could lose their clothes through the pedestals so GE, ever responsive to which way the wind was blowing, clearly couldn't decide whether up or down was the way to go. I guess this is why 1963 was the last year GE appliances had control panels raised on pedestals at all.

There were combos with a top control panel as well. Those combo's really made some splashy wash action. | ||

The combos were offered as undercounter(without backsplashes) and "free-standing" models as well. It's interesting, this is by all means, not a complete compendium of GE's 1963 models. GE always seemed to produced "odd-ball" models throughout any given model year. I don't know if these were intended as builder's models or whether they just threw together units with spare parts. One of the reasons I'm so interested in this particular model year is that my maternal Grandmother had one of these grey-paneled 1963 units, but it never seems to show up in the brochures or catalogues. I believe that her's was the 1963 version of a WA-750X ( GE's popular MOL model). It sported the chrome/grey control panel like the 650, but had no pedestals like the 850's. I also noticed that another member, I think Tomturbomatic in Maryland, has an oddball model very similar to the 550 BOL depicted above, only it has two speeds. I have always wondered what model number that unit was.

Ken, My wonderful GE is model WA 830X6 W(maybe?). Three water levels, 2 speeds, two wash temps. Everything you need in a shmart package. You want cold water, just set it to warm and turn off the hot faucet. She thanks you for remembering her. | ||

Funny how when CU stated in the early 90's that the GE design was dated...soon after GE redesigns their washers for the worse. | ||

control tower That's the one.....for some reason, thought the controls were on the right, but after seeing the pic, remembered it exactly that way...don't know how old this one was when we bought it, so it may have been a '58.....THANKS!!!!!! | ||
