Re: (ET) OT: GE motor parts

[SteveS <ssawtelle fcc net>]

Ah but this is a front-loader! One of the first for home use (by US 
manufacturer). Got it in 1981 or so. White-Westinghouse. I was looking 
at the energy tag on it - it is the low value of the scale. Also uses 
less water, easier on the clothes, etc. It's a good solid unit and I've 
done minor repairs on it over the years. I'ts a point of honor to keep 
it going, plus I hate to junk something just beacuse of bad contacts. If 
it rusts thru or the motor goes, ok.

But anyway, you are right, front loaders are nice!
