Greetings all. This one is a National Panasonic. This one sometimes wore a Westinghouse badge in Australia. I love these 70's/80's Japanese compacts. Everyone of them should be rescued and restored! Unfortunately they are rather thirsty, but heaps of fun.

I don't think that there were that many sold in the States as there was in Aus, where nearly all brands offered a compact, but the model sharing went like this. Sanyo = Whirlpool (Till Email takeover in 1980) , Hoover in the early 80's. National Panasonic = Westinghouse. Toshiba = Philips. Hitachi = General Electric. | ||

I had the baby Sanyo, with the little orange "on" light. It had a tendency to "wheel" to the left at the stop of the spin. It was a tangler.alr2903 | ||

Snobbery begins early, and then the comeupance
Distinct memory of snickering at the Bradfords of Grants: "Who'd ever buy a washer at Grants? Who ever heard of a Braaaaadford?" ;=D And now who wouldn't love to see one, have one, play with one. No idea what they looked like inside or who made them. Does anyone have a non-portable standard Bradford automatic or know what "respectable" brand they might imitate?
Where is this buffalogal located? This venue is new to me, and no buzzers pressed will flush out her location. | ||
