Well on the way home last Saturday night, my family an I where driving home from a relatives home and my mum spotted something on the side of the road. Turns out it was a dryer! So cutting my story short, I picked up the dryer and spent the next day cleaning out the fire hazard of a lint build up for the machine, and have tested it! IT WORKS !! I must now keep my eye open for a matching washer!!

Will be posting some pics a little later - i am having trouble uploading them !

the machine is a Westinghouse model D125

It Looks like this one! - but in white

I love these little Westies. Very interested about that boot, you know we're never going to shut about that right?

Seriously is it new or just a retrofit of some sort?

Tim

its all done with photo shop. no I did a retrofit on the L5 years ago with some sort of a Frigidaire boot and was gonna do the same on the spacemate but the boot I used then is now longer avail so while on the hunt for a boot that I could use to do a retrofit I was able to find a nos that paul was able to get for me ( and I kiss the ground he walks on ) I think he found it at modern a long while back that are now all gone. so for this lucky girl she got an orig boot. now how long it will last who knows personally I think we should just find a company we can hire to produce a bulk amount and just bite the bullet and pay for them

You Know...

I mentioned in another thread about houses built in my area coming with a stacked laundry set, depending on the configuration.

Drum & door

Also look like you've never used that fabulous machine. The picture shows the dryer, I assume?
