Why would anyone get rid of that, except for the woodgrain Textolite top? It looks unused. |

I noticed this model has no power shower in the lid. Did General Electric not add one until the next model year?
How was the power shower fed water, since this is an impeller unit? Did GE use a small dedicated pump (and filter) operated off the main motor for the top spray, or was there a separate drain pump/motor unit that also served to supply the power spray? Just curious. |

Power Shower came later. Not sure but I would say around 1960 as we had a Princess pull out tub in 1961 that was a Power Shower. It was fed through the pump of the impeller unit. These machines had a reversable pump.
They were fed through a type of compression fitting that when the lid was closed or the built in unit was locked. I will see if I have a pic in my archived photos before some else posts. I always liked these machines and thought they cleaned well. Noisey as all hell, but in 1960... if you could afford one, they were "The last word" in Kitchen appliances |

I love that pink. It's a pink monkey on wheels.
