I know its been a while but I was so disapointed by the whole thing with the non- cooperative family of the old appliance shop guy that i decided to lay low. Not to mention the emails I was recieving from certain members stating that I was just teasing or sitting on my butt instead of keeping on the family for stuff. I mean - come on - I don't care what was in there - they were grieving the loss of their father and I certainly wasn't going to hang around like a vulture. I did call and call and stop by as i could but no luck. Unfortunately it didn't work out for any of us. I got nothing and neither did anyone else. I'm sorry. I tried. On a better note. I'm preparing for my move to the west coast and am taking the 60's model Programmed GE with me and NOT the Dispensall. Yes I know this sounds crazy after all I whined about when not having it. But I feel like since the Dispensall is such a treasure and there are so many unknowns out there I don't want to risk losing it. The 60's model is precious as well but I think I'd feel better about taking it. Plus its in great condition and is just as fun. When I get sorted and all then maybe I'll ship the other one. Who Knows. Anyway... That GE DOES need a new Tranny after all and I was wondering if anyone had any leads on a standard capacity Tranny for this machine. Please let me know. Also - I've been reading the posts but have I missed anything of major interest in the past few months - anyone get any neat old GE's? - I saw the posting of the one on ebay a few days ago but no one claimed it - It was a beauty - lighted console and a mini-basket to boot! Plus the black ramped activator- too bad! Oh and did Robert get his Apex? Say hi! I'll be checking back... Matt |

Hi Matthew Best of luck with your move to the West Coast, and please don't forget us. Anyone who would place blame on you, is not thinking right. You did what you could, plus went out of your way to try to make things happen with those treasures. You even had the photos to prove it. Some things are just not ment to be, no matter what. *hugs* Rick |

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm moving to Southern Cali. - Los Angeles Area. I'm going out in January and will start looking for a job and a place while I stay with friends. Its alot to move anywhere let alone 3000 miles from your friends and family. But I'll be 30 next year and I want to have a clean slate and a fresh start. I will def keep my eyes peeled for parts and yes I too have noticed that they are unbelievable expensive. Hopefully there will be some donors on the site. So anyone in LA? |

there are standard/ large capacity tubs (16lb) and extra large capacity tubs (18lb) and the trannys are dirrerent - the smaller capacity is an inch shorter than the larger. I need the shorter capacity model. But I think i may have one - let me know what you come up wiith also - what years were yours?

Matt, it might be culture and topographical shock for you at first in LA, but I think you're going to love it there. If you like car culture, you'll be in heaven. I'm a rare breed because I live in the Bay Area but LOVE LA, and you know growing up in Northern California it's supposed to be in your blood to be an LA hater. The fact is, LA is where it's at and the Bay Area is quite provincial in comparison. What's not to like when this week LA has had temps in the 90's? My friend in Canoga Park said it was 101 there! If I didn't have commitments keeping me up north, I'd make the same move my sister did 20 years ago and start enjoying temperatures of 80+ on Xmas day. The gray and damp Bay Area winters have worn thin on me. Yeah, we seem spoiled here in Calif compared to places where they shovel snow all winter, and I'll be the first to admit that I hate the cold anymore. Hoping I can make the move south one day and live in a place where daytime temps in winter rarely drop below 75. Enjoy! |
