Very nice GE washer. I believe this is the same model as GEExtraRinse's. Lighted console, etc. Very nice for $20!!!

In Portland, OR.

Suds Saver?

volvoguy87's profile picture
Is that a second drain hose I spy about the level of the bottom of the sink? Could there be a second sink bowl to the right for suds saving?

Of course, I have poor eyesight and I could be wrong,
Dave

gorgeous and a steal for 20 bucks, Johnny, you wild man!

Dave, I see two hoses too, and would so love to see a GE suds saver in operation. You can also put a stand pipe in the drain opening if you have only one sink.

Is that a chrome strip I spy along the front edge of the machine?

This would be quite the attention getter for anyone's collection in the Upper Northwest. Wonder if it is a 2 speed machine - or a crazy 3 speed or a Versatronic.

I didn't even pay any attention to the background. I guess there are two drain hoses back there! I can't really tell but it does look like there might be crome plating on the top and bottom of the machine as well. I'm pretty certain it's a two-speed model V-16 just like Matthew's. Check out his white GE in collection photos. It's really a beauty!

This was a beautiful model. Probably has a non-speckled turquoise tub and a straight-3 activator. Had a timed bleach dispenser and IIRC a rare timed fabric softener dispenser as well. The plastic thing that usually was included as a fabric softener dispenser on the filter pan stood in as a liquid detergent dispenser for the pre-wash cycle. This is neither a Versatronic nor three-speeder; it is a two-speed machine. Machines like this one inspired Consumer's Reports to write: "middle range models can be more versatile than their top-of-the-line brand-mates". With these models, however, there were so many options that if you wanted to you could preset what you wanted/needed. And, unlike the Maytag, you could always preset whatever water-level you wanted. Although I'm dying to get this, I think I need to save the money I would have to spend on shipping this washer to Connecticut for a pick-up truck so I can grab all the machines I miss in my area for lack of cheap transportation. Someone please save this.

That is a match to my white 1968 dryer. The chrome strip has a plastic badge that reads Custon V. Wonderful dryer, very quiet and fast.

Very cool machine...

Unfortunately we missed it. I got an email back saying it was already gone. Hopefully it's not scrap metal by now. :-)

Plenty more to be found though I'm sure!

Matthew,

jons1077's profile picture
Will be there in less than two months. Very nervous and excited at the same time. Just having a horrible time trying to sell the condo here in DC. Losing tons of money on it!!! You better come to Portland, OR when we get there though. Actually, I really hope to have some kind of wash-in soon after we move there. Would love to have you as well!

Jon
