Hi folks! I'll take an uneducated guess and say this is from 1980-ish? Looks to be in really good shape; only $29.95 at the ReStore on Memorial in ATL! Would have snapped it up if it were portable, but thought I'd pass it on to those that might want built-in.

I like how what would be the cycle selection knob is just a rotating disc keep you abreast of your cycle.

Money shot. It almost fell forward on me. Classy.

That's a pretty nice looking machine. I know GE advertised the heck out of them.

Here is Debbie Reynolds advertising that machine in 1978.

The logo and the red framing... I'd say late 80's on this one...

There have been various changes to these over the years in appearance. It would seem the 1978 version had a lot of woodgrain. There was some more woodgrain around the cycle buttons on one version where the "Normal, light and energy saver" buttons changed to "Heavy, normal and lightsoil" I belive. The versions with the predominantly ebony panel came from the later 80s, early 90s.

My first one, which was a leftover NOS item when I bought it in 1993 looked identical to this one, except for ivory colored racks (very late model). My current one has a red pointer on the timer and the blue racks.

Looks like this machine has been there a while. I'd sure grab it, just to have!

Now that's a good dishwasher.

We had one from 1990 (was replaced in 2002) that actually had a dial that you advanced manually to turn it on, but it has much less buttons, i'm guessing the level of the model has to do with the dial?
