Hey everyone, This washer/dryer combo is for sale locally. From the condition in the pics does this look worth buying for $100 or should I walk on? | ||

Looks like a 1964 or 1965. I used to have a 1961. Find out if they know if it worked or not and how long it's been sitting.
It's a condensing dryer and uses cold water while drying (about 30 gallons an hour). Great splashy wash, does a great job washing, but has no suspension and spins about 225 rpm. If you have any interest in W/D combos, I'd say grab it, especially of you can talk them down on the price.

Very specialized belts, seals, and other part are rare! | ||

And if you plan to use it, have something like a SpinX or even another washer in which to spin the load before drying. | ||

Mid 60s GE Combo
Cool Machine, but unfortunately it has been stored in a very damp environment for a LONG time, all the pulleys are either uncoated steel or pot-metal in these machines and I am sure they are not in good condition.
I would probably go look at it if you are interested in the machine, if they will not come down in price take a 5/16" nut driver with you and take the back panel off [ only four screws ] and see what the condition of the metal parts are etc. | ||

The guy said it works fine not sure how much I trust him on that. If someone could use parts off of it I will pick it up. | ||
