Congrats!
Something about "wood grain" console from the 80's...takes me back to when I was young and would see these lined up for miles in the appliance store. Did it have the mini-basket and fabric softener dispenser in it too? If not, I believe you can still buy those from part dealers that fit the ramp activator. It looks great! Congrats! And pics and vids please! :-) Jon | ||

The 3 buttons are the speed selections I believe. - normal/fast - normal/slow - gentle/slow The two center knobs are for water levels (variable + mini) and temperatures (cold, warm, hot, and warm/warm) Does this machine have that quick cycle? I think it does but not sure. It's got a pretty cool set of timer options. I bet it's a fun machine! | ||

I'd be using that baby every day for all my laundry!! Great water hog, fabulous load turnover, even on big loads. Had one of those for many years, 1982 model. Nothing like it in the world!! | ||

Ah what a wonderful machine! GEs are such fun. Enjoy in good health, and I hope to see you and Andrew next time I am in Florida. NO changing speeds while the washer is running! (LOL) | ||

GE / Hotpoint FilterFlows
Nice one Shane, looking forward to seeing the pics, love the wood grain panel, our original UK filterflows had the timeline console...the later ones had a rather bland control panel similar to the Front loaders, one dial does all... The beauty of your is the Mini Basket..although you could just about wash a hankie in our filter pan I suppose...here`s a link showing the Hotpoint Spiralator in action!! Enjoy, Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

UK Top Loaders
Morning Steve, we only had a few top loaders in the 60`s / 70`s although we had a number of imported models, around 1963 we had the first Hotpoint Top Loader, Model 1500, 9lb load, with 3kw heater variable wash & temp programmes, 3 heat settings, 6 progs, 2 rinses & a 1050rpm spin..and a little handy 2way (white / teak effect) melomine worktop!! The inner & outer bowl where made of vitreous enamel with a white spiralator with filter flow pan, the design didnt change until production ceased in the 90`s other than a plastic outer bowl, cosmetic changes and different programmers, 2 controls on first machines, then timeline controls until 80`s then programmer dial like FL... This is Keiths (Keymatic) Hotpoint 1501 produced aka 1964

Interesting; thank you! One would thing the controls would have been better placed in the front. As from what I can surmise, many modern front-loaders are adjacent to the kitchen sink in the UK, a practise which I am sure did not evolve overnight! IIRC it had been said that the twin-tubs (prior to the front-loaders) were placed there as well. Do let me know if I am ill-informed! | ||
