I'll be sending you some emails later tonight - hope your inbox doesn't send them all to 'spam'... LOL
Appearance-wise these Westys are almost identical to the CLB-6 and CD-6. Mine were indeed built in Canada at the old Westinghouse plant in Hamilton (not far from Toronto), Ontario!
There are some slight cosmetic differences - the front panel on the Canadian models is completely smooth while the American models have a slight square inset where the control dials are. The Canadian division probably chose to not re-tool their assembly line... Otherwise, the components and parts are the same.
Did you find these locally or did this involve a major road trip?? |

Look at the sculpture on that door! I mean, I like panels as much as anyone but pritmuch every other washer is just a box with a panel by comparison. (Except the 3-stripe Easys.)
If there's a 9" wheel on the R behind the panel of the dryer, keep your eye on the space between inner and outer tub. Once a year I had to dig the lint out with a coathanger. The tub would stop turning, the lint picked it plum up off the drive wheel. Otherwise the dryer was trouble free. The washer needed motor pulley, pump pulley, pump shaft, spin sheave, boot. Boot was the only thing I couldn't do. I was 15. |

What a great find!!! And they look to be in such good shape. I'm guessing 1954, 1955. I used these as a kid going around town washing in other people's homes. I have room!!! I have room!!!! Good luck with them. They're quiet as a mouse when running. Jerry Gay |
