HI
I found this old G.E. floor scrubber at work buried in the back of the supply room. my boss said it was mine if I wanted it. so.. of corse it followed me home lol. it runs great ! but unfortunately, the bristles are falling out of the brushes and I don't have the buffing pads. does anyone know of a place to source new brushes or the buffing pads? I haven't had much luck searching on google. model number is P12FP4 thanks AJ This post was last edited 01/01/2024 at 19:55 |

Here's a couple more Worthpoint listing photos that I'd overlooked that may be useful to you, too: |

Thank you so much for posting the vintage ads! I really wasn't sure how old the scrubber was. I was thinking that it was maybe early 70's. I was little off the mark....
this machine has actually had a rough life. it was used to clean the floors in the control rooms at a steal mill. but it runs great ! its just unfortunate that the brushes are starting to loose bristles. wile searching I've seen brushes that are similar and I may be able figure out a way to make them fit. IF I find something that will work, I'll be sure to post it ! :-) Thanks again for all of that Wonderfull info! AJ |

Wow! You definitely do like a good data hunt! That is awesome that you put that together from old ads. it definitely cool to know the machine I have is from 1960! :-). Thank you so much !
Side note. I’ve been working for a cleaning company the last few months. my supervisor told me that the company literally has a warehouse full of old vacuum cleaners, scrubbers, floor buffers, etc. next time I’m in the main office, I’m gonna see if I can persuade them to let me go take a look. |
