Lovely backsplash

Do you suppose these machines in the listing are built-in under a counter, or did they just manage to not include the tops of the machines in the pic? I was wondering if these were common units to build-in, and if so, would they probably lack that pretty backsplash like Robert's machines have?

It would be fun to have these machines, and they are only an hour and a half away from me, but alas, no more cash or space! CRAP!

I wondered the same thing - about the tops and being built in, it would be wise to contact the seller before bidding for better pictures so you know what to expect! That question aside, these are some of the most beautiful slant-fronts...

That is one of my favorite Westy Sets! I love the "City of Oz" door panels on those!

Less than two days to go!

Somebody soon is going to be the proud owner of these.

Well, I finally put my W & D together and thought I might as well post it here.

Who won? Was it a member? Ebay has changed their system so cannot tell from the bidding history.

I'll be going to get them as soon as Chris shows me how to brace them for moving. Yay Michigan, the land of potholes!

Oh don't worry, unless you roll the truck they will brace themselves. Chris knows all about what these things weigh---------------.
Congratulations on such a nice set. Those dryers were some of the best ever made.

Chris has been trying to educate me on proper bracing of the tub. I guess after this I won't be a washer "virgin".

So now I wonder which years Westy washers played How Dry I am? I thought sure someone on the net would have ducumented that event.

Congratulations Travis!

Now, when I have been moving mine around, I have removed the weights that are bolted to the top of the tub. This makes the machine a whole lot lighter. They are pretty easy to get off if you have a socket set.

I've used some tie-downs to secure the snubber like things to the metal pad they sit on.

I also remove the panel in front and on top -- they pop right off. It would be a shame to put a dent in one or scratch it. I would wrap these in a towel or something and put them somewhere safe.

Best of luck to you in getting a boot retrofitted on it and getting it running again. Or better yet an original boot though those are hard to come by.
