I am not an expert at all on G.E. machines. So I don't know how new this one is. The one at my friend's house would have been new in cir. 1967-68 as that was the general time when the above story happened and this one I just got, I am fairly sure, is pretty much identical. The only thing I do think that was different, but I can't swear to this, is that that machine had white tools - same hose, white with green tracing, but it does seem to me the plastic attachments were white.
