I think the time has come for me to pass this girl along to someone who knows how to work on her and wants to bring a vintage washer back to life.  The washer is a 1958 General Electric two-speed Filter-Flo, Model #1WA850R1W, Serial #NR112477.  I bought this machine right at 3 years ago from a CL listing in Birmingham, AL.  It was very dirty, having spent a lot of it's life sitting in an unused basement, but cleaned up very nicely.  Nothing is frozen, but it will not agitate and it will not spin.  The tub and the post are very clean, no rust; the top of the Activator has been upgraded to accommodate a newer filter pan, using GE conversion parts.  I do not have the original pan.  The hardboard back, with wiring diagram, is still with the machine.

 

I would like to get $200 for the washer - the same amount that I paid for it.  Shipping will be up to the buyer, and I can assist with access and loading.  It is located in a carport storage room (no steps), located in the Zip Code 36609.

 

As they say on CL - 'probably an easy fix for someone who knows what they're doing'.

 

Anyone?

Lawrence, this is a very generous offer you have put out there. If I didn't already have the '58 950, I would have been happy to take it off your hands.

Hopefully someone is able to show it a good and loving home. Solid tub GE's are wonderful machines.

Ben

Melvin,

You'll be a good next owner; just the kind of owner a CL ad would be hoping to connect with!

 

If you want more information necessary for arranging shipping, let me know.

 

We can communicate via email.

Thanks Lawrence for allowing me to give your filter flo a new home in southeast Texas. Took a road trip over the last several days and brought the washer home. The original thread for this machine was number 85574.
