Hey guys, I was wondering if you could please keep your eyes open for a good, used GE filter-flo washing machine. By now, a lot of you know I like those, and I'd be tickled to get ahold of one again. The closer to Indiana, the better.

I've been watching Craigslist, but all I can find are the modern machines with the plastic white knobs.

As far as color, I'm not picky, it could be almond, harvest gold, or white, it doesn't matter, as long as it's in good working order and not beat up. The shipping would be the issue though. I'd like to have one as close to the top-of-the-line as possible and I'd pay more for one with more goodies on it. Mini basket, filter-flo pan and fabric softener dispenser would be a plus, too, but not required.

I appreciate it. They're getting harder to find. I admire the people that have decided to hang onto the ones they have. Thanks guys!

Andy

I'm hanging on to ours for as long as possible because knock on wood it hasn't broken down yet in 20 years, nothing.

petek, I don't blame you one bit for holding onto it. Sounds like you've got a lot of use out of yours. They are reliable machines, for sure.

I have a couple, want a matched set? Where in Indiana are you, I'm in South Bend. I have a GE matched set,in almond, a Hotpoint in almond, another GE in white, probably a couple more I forgot about.

Let me know.

goatfarmer,
A matched set would be great. Are they in good working order, no problems with them? I'm south of Indianapolis, near Martinsville.

Do you have photos of them? warmastoast2009@hotmail.com is my email. Hope to hear more from you.

I'll look forward to seeing the pics this weekend then. I appreciate it. How about your other GE in white and your almond Hotpoint? Are they in pretty good shape?

The white GE has been tested and works great. It's the newer style of FF, with a short black console. The Hotpoint is still on the truck, untested. I think I have at least one more FF in a storage unit, can't keep track of everything these days,  I'll have to check.Wink

White GE

This one has been checked, runs great. Small capacity, nothing fancy.

Dryer

I thought this was a match, but it has push buttons, where the washer has toggle switches. Close, but no cigar.

Nice collection you have, Ken. I'm going to keep looking and see if I can find one that's got more goodies on the control panel. Thanks again, I really appreciate it. Stay warm up there, we're in for a major snow/ice storm this week, they say.
