Well...... I've been in contact with the owner of the yellow Westy over the last number of weeks. He finally called, dropped his price and said, it's yours if you want it. So yesterday on my way back from Phoenix, I once again stopped in the city of Fontana. But this time I picked up the OTHER Westy and brought it home.
So... allow me introduce you too my two Westys!
(actually I have three Westy's now (the little coin-op, bolt down too) but that will screw up my thread, so SHHHHH!)

A fruitful trip!
I can just see it now. Head out the window, tongue and ears flapping in the wind! Too bad you didn't have Westie along for the ride... LOL!
This machine looks to be a neat one. Ahhhh, the Westinghouse speed shifter. THAT brings back memories. I'm trying to remember how the latch works. I thought I remembered there being a door release button along the top of the door... I'll call you soon and we can brain storm! RCD | ||

How does it get away without tub ballast? Slantys had them, even my '98 Frigiwhite with shocks has them. Otherwise the internals are scarcely changed from 1955. Looks like they did away with the flex shaft pump drive, facing the pump out the back. And there's that spin solenoid that makes anybody nearby jump when it comes on.

Kevin, WHAT are you feeding that puppy? If he grows into those paws (and he will), he's gonna be a big boy. I love a Lab. | ||

Best of Luck with the "Woof" and the Washer! Hi Kevin, I, too, have never watched one of these Spacemates in operation, and hope you will get yours up to the task. It looks like both "Westy's" will give you a run for your money, and the dog is adorable! | ||

A big thank you to: Tom, arl2903 and Darrel for the info about the door latch! Boy do I feel silly! For some reason I didn't think to push the “button” in toward the window, I was trying to push it back toward the body of the washer (Duh!).
Anyway, after wiping out all the dust, it looks to be in extremely good condition inside!
Kevin
