Friends in Seattle had this exact JC Penney pair. It came with the house they purchased. Is this a Franklin-based machine? It seemed very similar to a Westinghouse machine. At any rate, it lasted for years and they only recently replaced it with a new Kenmore pair. Another friend has a Westinghouse set from the mid-70's. That must be a Franklin transmission, right? It's still being used! I am not a fan of the Franklin-based machines with their indexing tubs, etc., but a few of them seem to have stood the test of time. The WCI/Franklin tranny on my '86 Frigidaire TL was giving out after only 2 years of not-so-heavy usage. | ||

The machines were outsourced from GE/Hotpoint. Hotpoint had the same two in one agitators and also the lint filter around the top of the tub. | ||

Penncrest brand machines were popular around Atlanta in the day. I remember a lot of solid-tub washers (built by Hotpoint). | ||
