Randy those are nice westy's. I like spacemates. Would of been great if they kept that design that uses a fair amount of water. I guess there were problems with getting the design to work with new faster spins. They look to be in good shape. alr2903 | ||

Heavy is right Back in the late '90's friends had a set of these that were thoroughly worn out. I helped him take them to the dump and that was the heaviest washer I have ever moved. | ||

My 08 GE Frontloader, while bigger, is not as heavy as this little westy.... two of us got it into my truck bed and took three to get it out and over to its temp place in the garage. Definatly one heavy little beast! | ||

Yes they look more mid to late 80's than 70's. I would have to agree it looks to be "newer". I have a 1994 White Westy set (photo) and as you can see the control panel looks very similer. Mine does not have the "Weigh-to-Save" door however. Plug it in and put it into spin. If it makes a loud "clunk" and ramps right up to speed it's the older drive system. If you hear a seperate pump come on and it takes 30 seconds or so to start ramping up to speed, it's the "newer" drive system like mine. I actually have both a 1990 and a 1994 version and they have a variable speed, reversing DC motor. It's much quietier and it will "reverse-tumble" when washing or rinsing. (I think, though I don't know for sure, they changed to the "newer" drive system in the mid-late 80's.) Kevin

WHITE WESTINGHOUSE SPACE MATES
The models you have were made from 1984-june 1988 the new drive system came out in 1989 and ended in early 1994. The three belt machine was a fun washer and much more durable than the single belt models.Either baffle can be removed and the sump baffle can be unscrewed and pushed to the left and the sump strainer can be cleaned and also the bottom of the tub.
