very interesting! looks like it might be a French or other European machine or something South American made in the early or mid 1950s I'd recon. Probably no connection at all to US General Electric.Welcome BTW,and tell what washers are down there in Argentina,especially any locally made North American style machines :) | ||

Antique General Electric front load washer
Hello Franco and Welcome to the club, great to see you here, the GE washer looks more like similar semi automatic machines seen in Australia, hope we can find more information for you, would be great to see one working again.
Your next pic 1 is like the English Electric machines we had here made under license by Westinghouse. Picture 7 of the Kacemaster Bendix looks very interesting especially with the drop down plinth for storage ? Look forward to seeing your friend posts pics of his restoration. Good luck with your machine restoration !! | ||

Kind of interesting--that first washing machine led me to a rabbit hole--it was a Spanish design from 1959---the industrial designer is still alive--Jaletan. A bit of a Bendix Economat idea used for the agitation--probably no extraction, though (wringer/spinner would be used). The Spanish Wikipedia has more information than the English Wikipedia.

Reply 7: Would you mean the timesaver washing machine that I own? Because I know that this does not look similar at all to my other semi automatic washing machine (Naco model 5

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing this, Franco. Love the aluminum levers and heavy overstated fittings on this. | ||

Reply #5 Exactly, those are Hoover licensed wringer washers, made here and sold under the "Siam-Hoover" brand | ||
