Hi Kenny, It's a 1977 WWA
That's one of my summer garage machines. It's a real treat with the button next to the main dial, the MIni-Quick Switch, which shortens any cycle by 2/3's. Instead of advancing every three minutes, the dial moves every minute. I love it. Make sure your recipient finds a ramp agitator which is so much more fun and efficient than the 4 vane straight agi in the machine. This powerful work horse--or goat, haha-- is a 1977 model. Nice find. Somewhere in the Imperial Archives, I have a bunch of pics of this machine. Let me see if I can find them. Mickey | ||

Very cool GE pair Kenny!
Any shot of the inside? That is one pretty washer - and dryer! It must be GE Week! How funny - I just picked up a GE dryer too... Mine is an alarming shade of gold - but I am very curious about the electronic control. Even more curious is the Versatronic washer - what a find that would be. This will end up another orphan for me, I just wanted to play with it. It came with the Cling Free still in use! How could I pass it up?

The previous owners get (more) points off for not taking care of their classic dryer. Notice the ring of lint-scuzz around the door opening and the filter bump. The glue holding the sticker obviously got pretty warm - but no matter, just keep using it! It shows signs of being used on a poorly installed vent, I can't imagine what surprises are waiting inside the machine. There is a caution sticker on the back that says it has a "special 250 volt heater installed" and is dated 12/1/87. More bad-vent evidence!

Greg, it never ceases to amaze one what some people do to their appliances. It will really be interesting to see what it looks like inside. I know this is going to be a really nice dryer when you get done with it. | ||

How come I can never find these GE's???
Kenny, that beautiful gold dryer would match the Versatronic washer is from 1968, the year before GE offered an 18 lb. capacity model and, I believe, the last year GE had a dryer with a foot pedal to open the door. Mazeltov, IIRC it's a fast, accurate and excellent dryer. We bought a version of that same model two years later and it's still being used.
