This was sold in Australia as a Westinghouse and made in Japan. So I assume this one was made my National/Panasonic too. |

I remember when I bought various Panasonic electronic products in the 70's that they included informational literature on other Panasonic and National products, washers among them.
In the halcyon days of the heavy tank-like center dial Maytags, the Japanese washers seemed like toys in comparison. Interesting to see that some of them still survive. I sometimes see National badged small appliances at thrift stores. We have a National rice cooker that must be at least 30 years old, and it refuses to die. |
