That's the Laundromat my mom had when I was a boy. (She got it after I almost had my arm ripped off by her Dexter wringer washer.) I actually think that model may be a 1956. The control knobs were gold and black with white lettering. What a beautiful set. I wonder if someone has been using them all this time.

That's a dream machine pair of mine!! Connecticut isn't THAT far... But I am already working on an L5 washer! Oh how cruel fate!
NOTE: if anyone from the board does get these - please be sure that the washer is properly secured for transport! The front counterbalance plates have to be bolted to the cabinet and a bracket should be used to secure the tub in the back.
Trust me on this one - mine got good and messed up in transit and you don't need that!!

Seems reasonable

The price of $200 seems reasonable. Sometimes people want way too much for their appliances. I'll bet that dryer could be made operational with not much difficulty.

anyone going for this beautiful set? let us know the outcome. These are one of my favorite laundry twins. I haven't seen that model Laundromat since we had one in the 50's/60's.

I e-mailed the seller last night - Someone beat me to it but thats o.k. I appreciate their quick response - I like the 1955 model set - like what Robert has with the westinghouse logo just above the door.

If I remember right, those machines had "WESTINGHOUSE" in stylized block lettering in the black space on the door; "Laundromat" & "Clothes Dryer" aside the Westinghouse "W" logo on the faux backsplash.

low end version ?

So are these models the low end models for that year?
...and then there was a Deluxe model that had different trim and lettering ?

I was going to get them, but I decided not to-I emailed her to tell her, yesterday, so who ever wants them go for it! I want to see them go to a good home- Robert

I never heard back from the seller again , So, I must have ben in line.

After comparing these with Roberts , I would prefer to wait for the 1955 pair like what he has.

If I should here from the seller I`ll let you guys know .
