Used a GE Versatronic on a few occasions as well as a variable speed late 1960s Frigidaire. They were great fun to play with, but as Bruce mentioned, trouble-prone due to reasons that are magic to me, LOL.
Would it have been better to provide, say six clickable speed settings? It would retain a lot of flexibility but would it have been any more reliable; or would that many settings cause more headaches than they would be worth? A GE perforated tub trait: Several GEs I used, including the coin-op machine in the laundry room my freshman year in college, tended to push water up through the holes at the lid hinges as well as over the top of the small-items guard and back into the tub during the spin-drain, especially when the water level was set at the maximum position. Was this normal behavior or an undiagnosed problem? |
