I've decided to come out of hiding and post this rare jewel. Year anyone?

Serial number Can you post the serial number? That can be decoded to determine the year of manufacture. My rough guess would be 1966-72. Andrew S. | ||

That's the end of them with the push to start button and the round, pebble glass window that prevents you from seeing much inside action--stupid decision. | ||

I would say it's from '65 or early '66, as it's Turquoise. | ||

If it's an early 70's model, they must have either painted it or switched the cabinet parts. | ||

I don't know the Combos as well as the washers The "HEAVY DUTY"emblem on the control panel would date it definitively as a 1969 model if it were a washer or dryer but GE took liberties with the Combos and used parts from previous years all the time. Might be true of porcelain colors as well.

So a friend of mine in Albuquerque went and picked this up for me yesterday. In the pictures it shows that the lower kick panel is missing, however it was with the machine, just not on. It also came with a tray/pan that the unit sits in. He said it does appear that it was originally white and was painted at some point. He said whoever did the painting did a good job. He will be holding onto it for me until I can get there sometime this spring.
