1979 GE washer

This is my first YouTube video, and as a result I have posted this video chiefly to give myself practice in association with my efforts to learn how to produce and upload future videos per my ambition to produce purely original and distinctive general-rated content that anyone can both search for and view without restriction and which goes beyond mere entertainment to being educationally uplifting and enlightening as well. However, my chief interests do involve clothes washers, plumbing, and anything of that sort which involves the collection of, containment of, manipulation of, and flow of water. This video has been assembled from preexisting smaller original videos using Apple's Imovie software and has been edited to provide a walkthrough of a basic simulated realtime operation of this toploading 1979 General Electric Filter-Flo washer which my mother owned from September 1979 to January 2008. The original one-minute videos were created with a Pentax Optio S4 camera with about a 3 to 5 megapixel video picture quality.

@MrEcm51 My mother got rid of her old washer because it made grinding noises whenever it began its agitation cycle. I repeatedly begged her to have the repairman troubleshoot the washer, but she insisted on her right to decide on what she was going to do with her own washer. When the washer was picked up to be removed from the house to make way for the new washer, my mother heard the sound of something rolling around inside the washer's gearbox.

Isn't it amazing? A washer over 30 years old, still going strong! Meanwhile, most of this junk they build today can't even make it 3 or 4 years (if that long) without some kind of breakdown.

Whatever you do, hang on to your Filter-Flo. They are collector's items, for washing machine fans, like myself. How's come your mom got rid of it?
