Aworg telepathy, Eddie
As soon as saw this and read the copy I wanted to start a thread.
Here's why: At first glance it looks so similar to other machines of the early-mid 50's. The Speed Queen, the Kelvinator, the Dexter...what else. Actually did not recognize it at first as a GE. And then odd-ball "Flood Washing."...What a stretch they had to make to come up with new metaphors for the wash action. And who are they bashing with the "wad of wash" Bendiis or Frigidaires? A most provocative POD, at least for me. (Guessing that the 1140 was not still in power, but can't imagine why not.) EDIT: Eddie, I forgot that you said you might remember it spinning very fast, and I'll always go with a washer boy's , memory, so I'm changing my guess back to 1140.;-D | ||

Right on John !!!
I forgot about the "Off" position on the Water Temp Control.
That Machine made a very "Throaty" Sound when filling and Agitating. Sounded like made a grinding halt when it shut down in between cycles. Yes, the Chrome Strip would fall off and that Emblem on the Left Side of the front of the cabinet , I can remember only for that Year. Any more thoughts ? | ||
