Looks like the final design model before production stopped.

Before they switched to the flat-front style. Interesting the water saver knob is on the outside on the control panel. Friends in Dallas had a similar version of this with the panel propped up vertically and water temp was in the timer for hot or warm (at 10 minutes). The water saver was in the door at the weight-to-save scale. The panel color was also a pale yellow.

Some time ago I was trying to find pics of the Westinghouse dryer that was in our house when I was growing up. I think it was from the 50s or early 60s. I have never been able to find a pic of it BUT the washer in the link about is very similiar to what our dryer looked like ie. the timer control on top at the back right and a small knob on the back left for the heat selection. It also had the slant front with the rectangular door and oval window. Any one have pics of this model?

Thanks.

Gary

Is this close to what you were thinking?

Interesting that there is no weigh-to-save scale in the door. Must have been bottom of the line, but it's a cute machine. Bet it would clean up nice.

Wow Ritchie you're right, I guess the red lint-ejector vane mesmerized me!!! There is no wts scale in the door.

Revolving Agitator

Is it my imagination, or are there ribs parallel to the red lint ejector inside the drum? I'm thinking that it is similar to the indexing tubs in certain top-loaders.

Moparwash,

Nope, that's not it. It is more like the washer that is in the link in the first message of this post. It did have the slanted front and slanted console in the rear of the machine like in the pic.
