Hi Graham. It is a fun machine. I have a '51 Westyslantfront but currently, it is in the repair shop.
Good luck and have fun with your new machine.

That's gorgeous! Has it been restored or is it a near-mint-in-box?

Congratulations Graham

Be sure to post of picture of it washing if you hook it up. The old front loaders are a lot of fun.

Back around 1990 or so I was at an estate sale at a house that was built in like 1952. It was a total time capsule and it had a similar vintage Westy pair in the laundry room still connected like they'd been in use the whole time and they were in mint condition. Also a GE combo fridge original to the home, mint also and which had already been sold. I so wanted to buy the Laundromat pair but had no place for them. I'm sure they would have gone cheap. I really love these little machines and wish I had a place where I could put a pair and use them for loads that are too small for my Duet HT's. I think we all know that the likelihood of any Duet or other modern day front loader still tumbling away trouble-free over 50 years from now is well below 0%

Great find Robert & Graham!

westinghouse set

I have that set, but not in that good of shape. The dryer runs well but the washer could use a little spruceing up. This was the set that was in the picture I posted of the girls singing to the dryer awhile back.

One of my favorite slant front models. Congratulations. They clean beautifully and are very quiet. Lots of luck and happy weighing and saving.
