1957 Vented Wash 'n Dry Westinghouse Combo!
We're back, the beast is in the basement. Here it is the second one known left in the world now, the other of course is Greg's beautiful 1956 model. It has some surface rust that seems to scrub off, its intact and everything seems loose and free, even the pump which I was surprised about. More to come...

I'm still amazed, and the book too! The other vintage laundry products you found are great, the Ivory flakes is too cute! With that blazing 181 RPM spin in the Westy combo, you might want to send for this extraction improvement accessory... CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK on eBay | ||

Thanks everyone! Well actually we walked into the kitchen of the house and I found a shoe box full of old recipie booklets. Usually I go through these because on occasion I find old owners manuals. Sure enough I found the manual to the combo, I said to Gary look at what they used to have in this house thinking for sure the machine would be long gone. I have found many vintage washer manuals like that and the machines have always been gone. But this time we go down into the basement and there it is back by the furnace room covered in krap-ola. There was a early 90's direct-drive whirlpool washer and dryer over in the laundry area. Now that we are home from the movies I have time for a few more pictures. Darrel my 10th anniversary of washer collecting will be next month.

I would have just loved to have been A fly on the kitchen wall when you found that manual, and then of course buzzed right along with you to the basement; I bet your GSR lurched when you realized that it was in fact still there. Nothing like removing Krap-ola! | ||

Boy the sharks are circleing aren't they?
LOL! Anyway, here is the deal with the new Wash 'N Dry Combo. The timers, heater, motor, pump all work just fine. The problem with the machine is it wont spin. So this is going to be a major project that I really don't want to take on right now and I'm not really a combo person anyway. So I spoke to John in Washington and he has a spare transmission, motor and pump for this machine. Since this is one of his absolute dream machines and he has the parts to restore it, its going to go to the museum in Washington where it can cherished by John and Tom and Robert Stokes, etc. Another fabulous rare machine saved and to be enjoyed by all. But I did scan the owners manual for everyone to enjoy and added it to our club Owners Manual Library. Click on the link and scroll down to the very last manual on the list...

Thanks for checking Robert, this one must have gotten away from them. Did you get any history on the machine at the sale? Just wonder how long it was in use as their main washer/dryer?? So many Questions!!! Terry | ||

Robert, congratulations. All the superlatives have been stated. I don't think I can add any more. How do you know it's not spinning, I mean that rapid 181 rpm spin, it almost looks like it's tumbling. Are you sure you're not getting senile in your old collector age? (runs and ducks for cover very pdq). Well I will not ask about the dram machine trade, BUT MISTER YOU BETTER HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS PRONT. Bob | ||

Anderson Cooper Someone who knows him said that he is an extremely nice man. I can't remember who, but then again, I had trouble with my phone number this morning. Maybe they will let me sit in the laundry room at the mental institution. | ||

Mike, Anderson Cooper is an evening news anchorman on CNN. The picture above doesn't even do him full justice, he's just adorable. Tom, on this combo luckily there doesn't seem to be any sign of water leakage into the heater box at all. The rubber seal on the flapper is in good shape yet and I adjusted the spring tension to make it hold even tighter. Its so nice to read your posts again, you have so much wonderful knowledge to share, to say you were missed is an understatment. Jon, you are going to get a big ker-knock over you head with one of those big red pumps if you keep it up mister! Veg behave, your making me blush. | ||

Breaking News
Robert, there's no need to whack Jon with YOUR pumps...Jon has a pair of pumps in black of his OWN. I've seen them, they do exist. They're huge! Mike, those cycles are quite appropriate, I hadn't thought about it but Ohhhh, Anderson Cooper! Falling for a news anchor, I've become my grandmother! Discussions of his sexuality "below the radar" make the fantasy so much more real, it's difficult not to let your mind wander a bit amidst the chaos and tragedy...

Andersen Cooper
Is the son of Gary Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt (yes, that Gloria Vanderbilt). Adorable he is and rumoured to be a very nice person. His famous (or infamous) mother having suffered many heart aches and set backs in life suffered a huge blow when her son Carter (Andersen's brother) committed suicide several years ago, by jumping out of a Manhattan apartment window. Ms. Vanderbilt also suffered a huge reversal of fortune when a dodgy accountant pretty much cleaned her out,IIRC bad investments/not paying taxes and outright theft came into play. Last one heard Ms. Vanderbilt was living with her son, Andersen, though maybe now he can possibly afford two homes. Launderess | ||

Sorry, love
Gary Cooper was a bit before my time. *LOL* Only knew so much about Miss.Vanderbilt because of her "fame" and the fact the Vanderbilt family has their crypt in the same cemetary as our family. In fact members of my family were there the same day young Carter Copper was laid to rest, tending various family plots. Strange thing about Andersen Cooper is that unless one knows him well or his family, not many know he is a "Vanderbilt". Though there are poor and rich Vanderbilts, and probably many of both sides work than in Gloria Vanderbilt's mother's day; it seems Mr. Cooper truly worked up by his boot straps.
