GE Laundromat When I was a kid and the washer broke, we went to a GE laundromat until the repairman was done. When I was a college boi, GE Laundry about a block from my dorm. In my first apartment, GE in the communal laundry room. So I always thought of them as commercial/industrial, no frills, it wasn't what I wanted at home. Then I found this hobby and heard all you folks talk them up, and found a 77 Filter-Flo for $25 with 2 speeds and mini-wash, I swapped out the original 4-vane agitator for a ramped one from Yogitunes, and have admired GE ever since. Great agitation, plentiful rinses, all the options and cycles needed, great machine. | ||

Penncrest Coin-Op Washers? Malcolm, are you kidding-was there REALLY a laundromat that featured JCPenney Penncrest(Hotpoint)washers? I never heard of such. My friends live in Buford off Buford Highway, family in Lawrenceville, Tucker and Atlanta! | ||

GE FF Coin Laundry
There is one only a mile away from my old house. It was (is?) a GE laundry with many Harvest machines from 76+. We frequented this place when I was a kid before we had a house with hookups. SOME of these machines are still in use but not many. There are also the newer design units that the owner says are not repairable and are usually god for sometimes as long as 3 years. More than 25+ years before he started letting the Filter-Flo's die on out due to just being worn out and parts price hikes. That's not too bad I don't think personally, oh but the sound of 5-7 sequentially banging FF brakes was something I remember well as a kid, getting money from Mom and loading them all up and starting them one right after the other.
