I got this for $2 and it works decent. I will clean it up and make a video of it. I can't find the model number on this machine , and whats the story behind this model?

Brings back memories…our old green GE floor polisher was the first floor care machine I was actually allowed to use plugged in! I learned to polish our linoleum kitchen floor from a very young age…maybe 4 or 5 years old.
I was always taught to store the polisher on its front face with the brushes facing towards you. That way they would not get bent while stored in our front closet. |

GE used this design well into the 80s I believe. I have seen them in chrome and also with plastic bodies. I have a single brush GE model that's turquoise. It only has the brush that came with it and it was flattened from being stored flat on the floor. It had a moving van tag on it from the 60s and it's probabaly been sitting for that long. I bought it cheap to use to clean my basement laundry room concrete floor and it works very well. |

Fyi, In case you're looking for a G-E color-mate vacuum for your polisher, there's at least one, a harvest & white Swivel-Top - Model C-350: |
