very bottom of the line
I once saw a Westinghouse advertisement in a builders magazine that was promoting low-cost appliances for builders to pop into kitchens in new construction. Featured was an economy slant-front Laundromat and dryer with one control knob each and no window in either door. I think the date was 55 or 56, when all the other models had two control knobs.
These models may have been a special offer to builders only and not available through retail. I never saw a model like that in person and I checked out the laundry equipment in every house I ever entered as a child in the 50's and 60's. | ||

Dad had a penchant for the cheapest EVERYthing and worked for Westinghouse which sold appliances to employees at substantial discount. Thus we had TWO slantfronts with only one knob. The first had the 'oven door' with the glass door and detergent chute behind it and no boot. The second had the 'chevron' door with the glass in it and a boot.
The first had the formal gearbox and 2 belts, the second had the intermediate tumble pulley and 3 belts. Little else changed except the early model sensed water level mechanically and the later one pneumatically. | ||

I may have asked this before, but I can't remember...
Robert, I've been dying to know and perhaps you could tell me. What is the difference between the LB6 and the LB6M? What does the M mean? Best I can tell comparing it to my D6 the only major difference is the pointed and curved glass. Does M just differentiate 1953 and 1954?

it is for a mid production change, something like a different type of timer,or somethimg..till they started production on a new year/model ...I have a L100M, they started with a speed changer, and mine has the three belt system...i believe it stands for any type of design modification. ... | ||
