These have been spoken for, as far as I know they have been sold.

...And we do look forward to that Dave!

... Really? I think you've made your point quite well in your numerous other posts.

OK, is the irony of this CL ad lost on everybody?

Ken is it the fact that all these are non GE appliances and the ad is from Louisville Kentucky?

3BW The 25" machines were very common around here but of coerce since they were discontinued in 1964 they are rare now. We do still have some parts for these. The reason they spun backwards was because most were sold in the southern hemisphere below the equator.

Not really irony, I pursued these locally and I know that someone had already purchased them after I looked at them that's all. It's an outdated ad.

3-belt:

I've been reading your 24" commentary in the other forum, and while this may be a 25" machine, your comment of "Non USA folks might be interested that those old Westy spacemates are just 25" wide!" seems to trying to stab up something. There is no real reason to bring up the US vs non-US washer argument on this thread, whether that was your intention or not, it's not really relevant here.

"Thus you must be confusing the radically more common 27" 3 belt westy with the ultra rare 25" model; a common mistake."

These machines are actually not "SpaceMates", they're simply a "Laundromat Deluxe" and matching dryer. I am well aware that they are the same thing as the SpaceMate, but these machines are pre-label. I am also well aware of the differences between a 25" and a 27".

If it's an actual test that you'd like, and not some strange quest to prove the superiority of the 27" US F/L over the "dinky" 24" European machines, then perhaps Sudslock1 will oblige you once he gets the machine. That is the taste that I have in my mouth from the banter in the Deluxe forum.

"***Here I would like to know what that 25" old westy will wash compared to a modern European 24" model. You seem to have no interest, thus this curiosity question/ wonder seems to bother you. ie you have less natural curiosity that I do."

Yes I do wonder how these machines actually do work, I was the 1st person that looked at them! The only reason I passed was my lack of resources to take on another project at the moment. I am very glad that they are going to a good home, they are in very good condition.

"These machines are about all gone; why be a party pooper and try to avoid any real shows of what an old machine will do or not do?
If a comparasion bothers you just stop reading the thread if a test bothers you."

I'm not sure how I'm being a "party pooper" exactly. I also never mentioned that any kind of test or comparison necessarily bothers me, I just think you have an agenda with your constant prodding in various threads. Not to say I don't applaud your tenacity.

Let it be known I suppose:

3beltwesty wants to see and compare a 25" machine to a European style 24" front-load machine.

-Tim

I have the original 1955  version of this machine and will do a video some day, BUT you can't compare it to a 24" European machine as there hundreds of different models and some have twice the capacity as others. I don't see any point to this discussion at all as the capacity of 27" machines also varies by more than 100% between different models and brands.

John, Isn't the photo above the very unit that you have in the warehouse?

-Tim

Yes Tim that is the exact washer we have, and that is a great picture of it thanks for posting it whoever you are. [ you should fill out your profile ]. 

Thanks, I saved the picture, I still think this is the most handsome unit Westinghouse made. I always have a hard time explaining these to people (the dial is on top) as I guess many have not seen this variant.
