"I have a super old, great shape vintage matching GE washing machine and dryer! They're heavy duty and work awesome! The dryer has 3 cycle settings and 3 temperature settings. They all work great! It's a little loud, but it works very well and is in pretty excellent shape considering it's age - which I'd estimate at about 40 years old! The washer is a little rougher, but works awesome! It's got several wash cycles and temp settings. It even has the old strainer that goes on top of the agitator, which shakes your detergent into the wash after it's filled with water! It's pretty neat-o! $200 or best offer. Check out the pics - these things are pretty nifty! And I can deliver! And I always offer free delivery for your old washer/dryer. Thanks!"

They are magnificent, I am guessing 1969 vintage? Mike |

The washer is 1969, probably a WA750E, the dryer is its 1970 slightly ritzier mate, the "Heavy Duty" shields tell the date. That Straight-6 Activator was designed expressly to hold a larger and more effective Mini-Basket; it should be replaced, when you get it home, with any Spiral Ramped alternative. |

I am in total agreement with Greg, straight vane agitators are MUCH more effective especially with large heavy loads, it is just common sense, curved vanes do little to really move and turn over heavy loads.
The only thing that made KMs Roto-Swirl agitators effective was the three straight outer sections on the vanes, and while agree that it is fun to watch light loads of clothing bob up and down with curvy vane agitators they are truly not the most effective way to wash large or heavy loads. |
