Absolutely amazing machines! I wish we'd had a rapid-advance GE model like that here - what a breathtaking washer panel. Did you get the filter pan with it? I'm sure that won't be hard to come by if not. The Hoover gold agitator is a bit of a shock with all the other blues & grays - I wonder why they did that? It's amazing how similar these are to the Blackstones over here. What year is this one from? |

Amazing how there's a "family resemblance" to American GEs, but that control panel is completely different. It always seems to be that way when American products are made in Oz; they have to be redesigned for different conditions and preferences. In the 1960s, Ford exported the Falcon to Australia. People there liked the car, but quickly found out it didn't hold up well outside of major cities, because it was designed for American "boulevard . Ford had to do considerable redesign to get the car up to Aussie standards. It worked- the Falcon was made longer Down Under than it was here.

The Falcon has now been in production in AU for 47 years, its still an Australian design unlike the GMH large car which is now based on GM's global platform. Did GE never offer a rapid advance timer option in the US? |

Well boys at this rate this is gonna be some convention stash!!! what beauties these machines are, love the Kewl Blue Hues... Under where it says volumatic 12 on the GE, is that a timeline indicator, does it light up as the wash progresses?? Does the Hoover do continuous filtration etc?? Happy Washing, Mike |
