Looking to buy various items, if you have these to sell, please let me know!

57 GE washer inlet valve “guts” - can’t find a rebuild kit. See pic for what I mean, the rubber diaphragms measure larger than other rebuild kits I’ve seen at 1 3/8 inches.
57 GE fridge egg trays - guessing these are either pink plastic or aluminum
57 GE fridge meat tray - should be silver colored aluminum, and wedge shaped
57 GE fridge ice cube trays. Silver colored or rose gold. eBay has some worst case but I sorta like the rose gold redi cube trays. Need 4
57 GE fridge -curious about getting the ice ejector. Do these work as well as they advertised?!

Older style inlet valve

The older large inlet valve diaphragms are hard to find, it would not be too hard to find the complete newer inlet valve that would fit that machine that’s probably the best thing to do.

Thanks John

I’ll start searching for a more modern style. Out of curiosity have you ever heard of ways to soften or “renew” the diaphragms? Is that a thing?

Ways to soften and rejuvenate rubber

You could try some of those automatic transmission in a bottle rebuild stuff, that might help I would be very leery of a water valve seal as it may fail at any time certainly wouldn’t use it for my every day machine that’s constantly under pressure. But it would be an interesting experiment.

I don’t think it would be too hard to find an entire water valve because those used to be all over the place. They had a universal replacement valve for those machines.

I think I’ll try both; I’ll keep checking eBay for parts and universal valves - I can be patient :)
