Wow, what a nicely designed control panel on that machine! I love how elegant the dials are. Does anyone have one of these machines? The filter looks similar to a Norge "basket-type" filter. What year would this be from? Dave | ||

The machine in the lower section has 2 large dials on it. I would imagine one is for the cycles but what would the other one be for? | ||

Yeah, really attractive looking control panel. My Gram's 66 Kelvinator had Two big dials, the main cycle clock and one for the "Programs," but this Westinghouse doesn't looked programmed. I've never seen one like it. Maybe Jon Le F.(combo...) has one in his warehouse and will tell us about it. Such a unique variety of controls, especially those tiny guys on the far right.

This was the first machine built by Westinghouse - about 1964, IIRC. I have the sales literature at home. It was a program-cycle machine. One dial was the timer, the other was a water-temp option or cycle modifier. I'll pull out the Westy book later tonight and try a scan or two - I keep piling things up to scan but never get the time! | ||

Yeah, Greg is right...one of Westy's earliest top loaders, and I agree one of their most stylish. It had a black spiral agitator with a big "W" on the cap. The very first year of Westy-built top loaders had square pushbuttons, then the second year was basically identical, except had those oval shaped buttons. I would guess it is a 65-66.
