Austin, thanks for the insight. If you have any more info, you have a dedicated audience in me. Can't really read what goes in to each position except liquid bleach (front left.) Care to enlighten. BTW my 90's Flter-Flo has a tub that will not "lock" and it keeps banging during one direction of agitation stroke. How do I fix this? Also do these machines have a weakness? What do the usuually die of? I also find it interesting that you feel a GE has a huge tub...most people bought a WP or KM when capacity was the issue.. TKS. |

Here is my dream machine again. Austin, is the Mini-Quick option on your Dispesall? I guess its safe to assume u have tried it. :) I love that option, beings that sometimes I need just one shirt and dont have time to run a whole load. This completes in 15-20 minutes. My aunt has this exact machine when I was growing up....it ran at least once every single day for 28 years...including cloth diapers for 3 kids. The timer started being funky, so they replaced it like idiots. I've got a mid to late 80's Filter Flo with a Ramp Activator to play with....almost the same, but not quite as fun as those TOL 70's GE's with the Straight Vane Activator. Ramped agitators are more dramtic and make for great turnover,but I think straight vanes make more suds and create pretty good action, too. Take care, all. Joel |

Those Toggle Switches make me wanna touch them and flick them all night long, but don't flick it while in action or it might get bad. |

Our house in town C wasn't ready, so we moved to town B for a summer. Our next door neighbors had a mid-60's (it was new) GE. I loved how, at the end of the fill, it would begin agitating slowly, then suddenly kick up to full speed. Having grown up with a neutral-draining KM, I was always fascinated by machines that spun the water out. And that fast GE agitation really kicked up the suds.

Coincidentally, here's one listed on Ebay. The "dispense-all" even works!

As I recall on Austin's machine, it appears to toggle(switch) the timer between Mini and non-Mini mode. The main tub/basket filled to a low level. Filter-Flo recirculation filled the Mini-basket, and water spilled through the top holes to continue recirculating/filtering, and for spin. Hey, maybe that toggle(switch) also turns off spray-rinses, if there was any concern over water usage. No way a spray could get into the Mini-basket. |
