I remember nonsense terms like the Sensitronic Cycle. What could it offer along side the other auto dry cycles? | ||

Tom, This Viking pair is interesting in that it's the most fully-featured non-GE-badged GE product I've seen. Both the washer and dryer have features unique to the GE badge only products (mini-basket, fluorescent lamp). On the dryer, the description indicates that only the PP cycle includes a cool-down period (it seems to leave out the Sensitronic cycle by its wording). The text describes a higher degree of dryness measurement in the Sensitronic cycle. The dryer offers 4 temperatures, and with a START button, would account for the 5 push buttons, but not sure what the rocker switch controls; could be end of cycle signal or could be the cool-down feature (?) if it's coupled with the Automatic cycle.
It's a pretty cool pair. I've never seen any with the Viking badge.

The text mentions timed-bleach dispenser. I guess this is somewhat a combination of Hotpoint and GE control panel. The 2nd little knob offers the various options of extra rinse, cold wash, auto soak, .. I venture to speculate the dryer's rocker switch incorporates both cycle signal and extended tumble cooldown for perm press auto dry (Sensitronic) cycle. There could have been two separate Sensitronic cycles for regular and perm press or they could have done a "hotpoint" kind of arrangement whereby a single Sensitronic dry cycle covered the concept of regular and perm press cycles and tagging on optional extended cool down tumble. On my 1978 big load dryer, there was a poly knits auto dry cycle and the regular/perm press fabrics were incorporated into a single auto dry cycle. The latter regular/perm press cycle had a longer extended cool down tumble duration vs. the poly/knits auto dry with optional extended cool down cycle

If you take a drive thru BC you'll run across the Eaton's private rail car in 3 valley gap. It's called the Eatonia. I found it unexpectedly years ago when I was driving through and stopped for a break, there's not much else there but all the scenery.
